If you are respectful, polite, courteous (basically how any human being should be), you won't have a problem. Get the right attitude, don't blame your instructors if you don't perform well, look at yourself in the mirror, correct the situation, work harder. I knew a guy who was such a bad pilot, but thought everyone was a racist and used this excuse as the reason why he was not successful....pathetic.
Jumbo gets it, 33 years at my airline started at 28, different color, one of the shortest pilots out of 12,000 ( no I wasn't hired because of my background to fill a quota) don't look for disadvantaged excuses if you as a pilot screw up, let your flying do the talking to the very very few that will judge you on your appearance. Attitude is everything !
That worked for me.
Best of luck !
