its just not done with the explicit approval of the government, however that is unfortunately likely to change soon.
Even after the civil rights movement, all the Republicans and a lot of the Dems opposed integration. And we’re still paying for it.

racism is an accepted reality in the US. racism is a denied reality in Europe.

This is oversimplification.
Americans made a huge mistake tying race to identity so hard and it’s incredibly cringy from outsiders pov. Europe is taking more of a colorblind approach and while it still needs a lot of work it’s much more sustainable and really the only viable future.

Pretending to be colorblind doesn’t make one colorblind. Americans have largely adopted an ideology of anti-racism. That is, acknowledge that racial biases exist and keep the door open for healthy conversations. You may try to ignore the fact that racial biases exist but doing so only perpetuates them.

I think you might need to read their comment again. They’re saying both places are racist, but Europeans tend to deny that racism exists.
