The image that America presents (very well, admittedly) is that it is a society that believes in equality. Sadly, in a lot of places (not all), this is not the case. From what I have been told (I have only been to Vegas so can't comment as Vegas welcomes anyone who has money), America is actually much more divided racially than we are.
I remember reading a while ago that the English actor Colin Salmon (who played Dr. Moon in the recent Dr Who story) was actively considered for James Bond.
He was rejected apparently because although he had already played Bond well in reheasals and auditions where, for whatever reason, Pierce Brosnan wasn't available, there were concerns that the American audience would not accept a black James Bond.
I don't know how true the above is though.
