Just because you felt unsettled by a women in a burqa doesn't mean you are racist. I too feel put-off by the "peek-a-boo I see you but you can't see me" get-ups and "I'm modest and pure" theatre. But western society tolerates religion and religious outfits. In north america many groups escaped persecution by coming here. Being tolerant means you accept their decisions if within the law - it doesn't mean you like or fancy their way of life.
