It is unlikely that you will be able to completely avoid interacting with people from different racial backgrounds at work. A good place to start would be to try and build positive relationships with those that you may be uncomfortable around by showing genuine curiosity about their culture, engaging in conversation, and exhibiting open-minded behavior. Additionally, finding others in the office or networking groups who are also working toward creating a welcoming space for all could help provide support and comfort if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed at times.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely avoid working with people from different racial backgrounds. It is important that you remain polite and respectful when interacting with people of different races, even if you feel uncomfortable. Try engaging with coworkers in professional settings or activities that do not involve interpersonal conversations as much as possible. You should also make sure to familiarize yourself with applicable workplace anti-discrimination policies and take any necessary steps to report inappropriate behavior if you witness or experience it.
