I look asian. I experienced more racism traveling through Europe for 6 weeks than I have living 15 years in the US (primarily Atlanta and Jacksonville). Most of the time it came from drunk assholes.
Comment on Is America Really That Bad?
justinw@lemmy.world 10 months agoFurthermore, what part of the country are you living in that leads you to believe we are less racist than other countries!? Our racism has defined our country ever since it was created.
Seriously, I am curious what part of the country you live in? It is sheltered from most American realities

If you think I’m denying racism, you read that comment incredibly wrong. I’m saying in comparison to other coutnries.

Your point was that we’re better because we talk about it.
All over the country legislatures are banning books, and curriculums that even mention racism. It isn’t an isolated incident either.

I agree with you on the exaggeration of racism.
I don’t think you bring valid points to why the United States are better than portrayed, but nonetheless believe so myself.
