Yeah, riding a centaur is considered taboo since some cultures used to enslave centaurs as mounts. So this would be considered a hate crime by the law, even if Nozomi is just being friendly and Himeno is probably okay with it.
This setting seems more of a hassle compared to ours regarding what's racist or not. Accidentally cutting someone's hair halo could be mistaken for something racist.

. . . angel halos are hair in this universe?
The way I understand it, there are no "vanilla" humans in this universe, and Nozomi is meant to be a "dragon girl", even though she acts like a imp.
There needs to be less drama in these alt-universes if they're trying to be cutesy. I mean, they are trying to be cute, right? The first chapter was weird.

Yup, hair-halos. Also most of the animals that are quadrupeds in our world have six legs in theirs, to make it possible for sixlimbed races like angels, centaurs and imps to evolve.
It's sort of cutesy, but it's also played like a pretty straight slight-of-life manga except everyone's a monster (by our standards). While the different races in the manga get along pretty well, there's also indications every now and then that's not always been that way, and that tension between races is still common in some parts of the world. But overall, they seem to deal better with racial differences than in our world, partly thanks to strict social rules and plenty of laws on the subject. The author has built up quite the detailed world, it's fascinating.

Wouldn't seem that way to anyone raised with those social norms. Most people in America don't consider it a "hassle" that you can't call every Black person you meet nasty names; it's just not something in their normal set of behaviors to begin with.
