Because America is a melting pot, people are taught to not judge based on race. For example, it's not polite to say "I don't like blacks/Asians/white people etc." Everyone should try to get along with each other, even if you are from different backgrounds. Sometimes this causes people to hide their true feelings to be polite (американская вежливость). They can also say their opinion in an indirect way, called "political correctness". This is when a politician wants people's votes so he carefully says things to not offend anyone.
