That's interesting. You must have come from a really isolated and utterly homogeneous culture because racism exists in every culture where two or more cultures or races exist in close proximity.
To answer the original question, racism doesn't go away from moving anywhere. Racism can only go away when ignorance goes away. One person can shed racism by shedding ignorance and a culture, likewise, can shed racism by shedding their ignorance. The latter, however, is probably too much to ask in a world with such a diversity of individuals.
I think it is prudent to accept the existence of racism but to reject its acceptability. Accepting its existence is accepting reality. Rejecting it's value and validity is eschewing ignorance. We should actually embrace our cultural differences and our diversity. There is much to learn from people who are not like ourselves and little to learn from people that are. Understanding and acknowledging differences isn't racism. Thinking others who are different are automatically inferior to oneself merely because of those racial differences is racism. "Different" isn't in and of itself better OR worse. It's just different.
