      Racism is everywhere not just in America, it is just hotter issue on USA, because maybe leaders does fight it and it upsets racists. In other countries (especially more homogenous) it is often accepted by everyone as normal.

        tell yourself whatever you need to so feel good about yourself…

        racism is wrong and we all should strive to fight it

          We absolutely should, but don’t tell me that Europeans or Asians aren’t racist.

          Those messages I see from tankies while China and Russia are very racist. Russia even one of the biggest Nazi concentrations. Even right now putin is especially recruiting non ethnic Russians from Asia regions to send to Ukraine and can afford losing so many people because ethnic Russians didn’t care about them in face they hate them.

            I never, at any point, insinuated racism was uniquely American… if anything, it sounds like you are bringing others in to dilute the message

            Yes, I also think all of this you claim it’s true. However, I don’t recall China pretending to spread freedom in other countries nor Russia pretending to be the beacon of morality around the world. The USA has taken (and enjoyed) those titles heavily, it is only fair we point out how hypocritical it is

        America without the racism would be like ice cream with no vanilla flavoring. Not even the racists would be trying to tell you its not there.

            One of the privileges if being a white guy is that other white guys wont even try hiding their racism from you if all you do is keep your mouth shut. Then you can let them run it all out before letting it slip that you aren’t one of their friends.

              Yeah, it’s a real privilege to be subjected to a bigoted rant while waiting for an elevator because they assume you’ll be on their side in the coming race war.

          I thought the conservative stance was that there’s no systemic racism. Your co-workers actually think all racism is solved, in the US of all places?? Sheesh

            So much so that I have one white coworker who openly uses the n-word because it’s “not racist anymore”.
