Oh, people can read a book in the US without thinking about the author's race even once in the US as well, unless of course the author makes a big deal of it. Some authors post their pictures, some don't. I suppose if a reader considers it a big deal, then that reader can track down most authors, though some authors use a pseudonym that hasn't been pierced yet.
