    Because Europeans are just as racist, if not more racist than Americans. They see trump and say, “Wow nobody would vote for someone so stupid here.” and then turn around and start saying how muslims are causing problems or w/e.

      Both things are linked: The US elected an unhinged, corrupt right-wing populist and his entourage of narcists using their social media platforms (which a big part of Western citizens use as main news source) to spread their propaganda. AfD gained ~ 20 % appeoval since Trump got elected and Musk bought twitter. (Despite the fact that Trump turned the global hegemonial power into a dumpster fire within not even two years). In fact the same trend is happening in all Western societies. I don’t think this is just coincidental.
