I think what you describe is indeed a classist society and not a racist one. Maybe what you lack to see through it is the experience of a cultural milieu with different skin colors. I have studied, worked and am friend with a lot of people with North Africa origins, usually from wealthy families, that are now doctors, engineers, academics, … and clients mostly don’t care because we belong to the same class, what matters is how we dress, how we talk, and the countless other things that signal we are of the same class. Skin color is very a strong correlation with poverty, the latter being the true causality.
