As you've written, everybody is different, but making assumptions is a fundamental human mechanism to deal with the complex reality, e.g. assuming that black person in central Europe is an immigrant. As long as people do not violate laws/do not behave badly by acting on those assumptions, I'm fine with that. Obviously I'm also proponent of education in the area, to abandon the whole concept of different human races, but I don't believe it's a core of the problem, which is much more complex and interwoven into society and culture.
I would also be careful about prosecuting (not tolerating?) worldviews based on their ideas alone, freedom of speech is a very important thing. A thought police on the other thing is a terrible idea and there are scary precedents (e.g. cultural revolution in China). I would rather educate to spread "better" worldviews and prosecute wrongful actions to minimize impact of the "wrong" worldviews.
