Racism is in practice a somewhat different idea ("I don't like brown people / I don't like people from Africa / I don't like muslims or what I think are muslims") from race-segregation ("DOB 4.5.1971, race hispanic"), which is something found in legislation (but is also a racist concept, obviously). You are of course correct that racism is at least somewhat widespread in most countries. The latter concept on the other hand is pretty much exclusive to the US at this point.
