You completely misunderstand Bob and Carol.

If Mayor Bob gets personal gain from terminating bus routes (as you claim), then being racist isn't the problem. Strip away the racial descriptions in his situation and what you have left is still a rational decision.

Carol considers a country's values and beliefs, not those of a race. She does not consider who a person is; she considers what a person thinks and wants. You conflate nationality with race.
