Not my nickname, my name.

It's good for you that you are not a racist (it's sad that such a normal thing has to be a compliment, but it is a compliment. Good for you.), but racists do look for these cues and make their judgement based on these.

It's an unfortunate current state of affairs that we have to live with. Ignoring it does not make it going away though. If you don't like it, you got to call it out whenever you see it, which I hope you do, instead of being taken back by it, as you seems to be.
