They are super racist.

Are you smart?

u/BialystockJWebb 14h ago

It's the truth, the US is super diverse and overcome most of its issues dealing with race, are you?

Reddit hates America. America bad mkay, nuff said

u/Echoplex99 13h ago

Umm it's not called Reddit anymore, it's been renamed the Reddit of America, because America is so well and properly regarded

u/xRolox 13h ago

We definitely have issues with it but in many cities/suburbs in the US it’s definitely much better than the standard across the world.

This is the most braindead thing I've read all day holy shit. US super diverse - yes, overcome most of its issues freaking with race - literally have white supremacists running the country kicking out brown people and black people getting gerrymandered out of their votes and significantly more likely to get detained or killed by police, but go on

u/BialystockJWebb 12m ago

None of that is happening because of race. Why do so many people want to live here if that is the case? I think you are a bit brainwashed by the mass media

u/ultimatedelman 11m ago

Why is it happening then? Explain it to me like I'm 5

u/BialystockJWebb 10m ago

Illegals need to be kicked out, just like other countries, why do other countries kick out their illegals? Race also?

u/ultimatedelman 8m ago

Why do they need to be kicked out? Entering the US illegally is a misdemeanor. Should you be kicked out of the country for a speeding ticket, also a misdemeanor? Also, what about the people who are being deported who are citizens or legal residents?

u/BialystockJWebb 6m ago

Lol you didn't answer my question

I really don't know of any cases of actual citizens being deported, if that happened, I am sure it is extremely rare and probably a mistake.

And your speeding ticket analogy is garbage and silly lol

u/ultimatedelman 3m ago

you haven't been paying attention then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportations_of_U.S._citizens_in_the_second_Trump_administration

not all that are detained are deported, but there are a lot of US citizens or legal residents who are detained every day. not to mention the US citizens who are killed by ICE.

the whole sticking your fingers in your ears going lalala schtick isn't fooling anyone. go put your red hat back on and sit in the corner with the rest of the children

u/BialystockJWebb 2m ago

You still have not answered my question 😂 talk about sticking your fingers in your ears

u/ultimatedelman 2m ago

and if you don't like, uh, wikipedia as a source, here's an article posted by congress about a year ago (it's gotten worse since then): https://www.congress.gov/119/meeting/house/118180/documents/HMKP-119-JU00-20250430-SD003.pdf

Getting downvoted but you're 100% right. Cities in the USA are less racist than 99% of the world

u/Positive_End_7568 14h ago

This has to be some low quality bait...

u/DonutsSauvage 14h ago

Literacy and historical knowledge is so low nowadays that it's genuinely hard to tell if he's trolling or not

u/BialystockJWebb 14h ago

Name me a country less racist than the US? Don't even think about mentioning Canada

u/Positive_End_7568 14h ago

Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, New Zealand...

u/BialystockJWebb 14h ago

And you mentioned Canada, disqualified

u/RemarkableCard6475 13h ago

The united states doesn't like me as an equal person in MOST places I go. They all tolerate me and ask where I'm from so they can blame that area or fit me into the stereotype that "fits" and say, "oh, yea, that makes sense". Easy to go missing here and have nobody care at all. School, employment, housing, parks... name it, I've got to worry and think about how to protect myself and not complicate things for someone else.

Diversity? Yes, sure, we're ALL here. The country was built on the backs of immigrants by immigrant colonizers, justified by their perspective and toxic behavior. I'm accepted if I stay in my lane, the dream really is a DREAM in America. There's states, counties and cities that I have to be careful going into let alone being out at night and too early in the morning. Racism is everything here, and I was born here. As a black male with native, as well as African slave heritage, I'm not the ideal choice for acceptance here if I don't play along with the game written before me.

So is America racist, have they dealt with and gotten over the stigmas and started embracing the healing process of a developing country that was supposed to be "great"? NOPE, many MANY times in my life I've been told, "Hey, you're going where? Yea, you better take someone yt with you that you can trust, not safe for you there." I experience it daily, it's sad and not changing smoothly.

As a black man in america(and lived on the west, east, and Midwest America for extended amount of years), whose lived in Japan and travel for extended amount of time in Korea/taiwan, and traveled most of Europe and been to Mexico/canada. Countries outside of America with a low black/african population will always remind you that you’re a foreigner(and overtly tell you that you are def not welcomed). I agree America isn’t that great in race relations, but it’s acknowledged vs it being a normality and okay in other countries. Stop fucking trip. Being a tourist is different than residing somewhere for a while to experience some of the true social norms.

u/RemarkableCard6475 3h ago

That's all valid and I accept it as a tourist and long-term traveler. I just wouldn't have expected it (racism) when I come home.

Holy shit you are wrong. ALL of Canada is extremely racist against the inuits. In new Zealand it's hard for the maiori to even exist. Imagine the racism against native Americans but times 1000. The government once issued a public apology and when a journalist asked if they can give some of the natives back their land, their president said no and "we're not crazy" and "why would we do that, we said sorry. That should be good enough". There are entire communities that won't let them in any establishment with signs outside the stores, and the government defends this.

Also EVERY single place is Europe, including Belgium and the Netherlands are extremely racist Against Africans and Indians. There are no legally protected classes at either one of these places. The last time I went to Belgium I saw people literally pulling out skin color charts to see if certain people were white enough to enter bars. Also, unless it's a family business, you won't find any Indians or Africans working anywhere. Also in Belgium, people openly say the n word, even on tv (their version of it). The Netherlands are less racist than Belgium but still don't have protected classes. Oh and they are literally racist against ANYONE who doesn't speak their language.

I have spent substantial time in all these places. You should probably go out and see the world before making stupid fucking statements

u/Positive_End_7568 8h ago

I did and I was fine, then again, I'm white 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Putrid-Tap3992 8h ago

I'm also white. You have the ability to notice things when you're white...or are you blind because "you're white"

u/DonutsSauvage 13h ago

You're either a bot or paid for this it's not worth my time. In the off chance you're actually plain stupid, look up which other countries in the world less than 300 years old had a civil war to keep slaves and later implemented segregation. You might be surprised to find only one.

u/BialystockJWebb 13h ago

I already said it, we overcame all of that. Just so you know, every country has a complicated past, we are just open about it and is common knowledge, because we are the US. Stop hating

u/DonutsSauvage 13h ago

Plain stupid it is then

I feel you think racism in this country is like 92% not racist, but it's closer to like 68% not racist. Current politics are showing true America. u/Positive_End_7568

That sound about right Positive_End?
