Why do some people try to be hip and cool when they're talking to someone of a different race?

Like when I’m talking to a white guy, we shake hands, but he wants to pretend he’s giving me drugs like we’re gangsters or something lol.

Or when one is talking to someone from Japan for example, and he/she makes a dumb joke about Karate like that Japanese person should inherently know Karate because they’re Japanese.

I saw this in high school, but why do adults do it?
