It's more common in the US, "happy holidays" banners abound, people get offended if you say "Merry Christmas", people up in arms if you call someone " black" (even worse here in St Louis) , and any non friendly interaction with a black and a white person, regardless the circumstances, is automatically said that the white person committed a hate crime, yet black on black crime happens quite often, yet with the possible exception of a few in the immediate area, most people won't bat an eye. (And the crime does get bad, I've been on some jobs with my dad in North Stl, and we've ran into people stealing and selling drugs, police tape on a nearby house, and a couple incidents where people tried to break into our van while we were talking to the customer on the front porch! Lucky for us, the customer had a 12 gauge he used to scare off theives!)
