Europe likes to pretend it isn’t racist because its cops don’t beat up black people (for the most part). US racisim, OTOH, is on full public display. This doesn’t make one better than the other.
That might have been true twenty years ago when the racist political parties were fringe groups with a few % of the vote share in most countries. Now that they’re frequently getting 20 or 30 something % if not winning elections outright I don’t think many people still hold the illusion that there aren’t a lot of racists in Europe.
Yes they are, and the USA just re-elected someone who tried to institute a Muslim ban.
Tu quoque.
