Do Americans really want this crap? I can’t believe that we don’t hold our governments accountable.

    American racism is pervasive and there are idiosyncratic ways in which it is expressed here, but Europe and Asia, for example, have their big and small ways of expressing it too. look at how people from Africa or Turkey are treated in Europe, or groups like the Sami, Romani, Uighur, and indigenous peoples everywhere. As another example, Latin America has pervasive colorism, which can also appear in pseudoscientific ways.

    none of this is to excuse or minimize American racism. it’s one of the nation’s core atrocities. I just want people in other places to admit how much of a problem it is where they are too.
