Okay, I'm going take a step back here and ask: Just what are you saying?
Because you're giving the impression that you think white British people's (your?) experiences should be privileged over those of non-white Brits who are (for the most part) in closer agreement with non-white Americans than white Brits. This isn't because racism in America is the same as racism in Britain but because the situations are close enough that the same tools are useful for analysing both.
eg. in your experience British people don't talk about race and racism. In my experience we do, but let's say we're less open about it than Americans. Does that mean that the same feelings and ideas aren't at work underneath? I can't count the number of times the 'clash of civilisations' model has been used with respect to British Muslims, for example. And, as has been said before, even though there may be different models (conflict and consensus) used, the same hierarchy is in place.
Maybe you should stop accusing people of not listening to you and as plainly as possible, just say what you mean.
