Don't forget that most threads started in this forum are from US-based people. US Americans have quite a unique view on these things, though most are not aware how unique it is.

And yet Europeans love to rant about how "racist" the US is! The "immigrant problem" that so consumes Europe, is an alien concept in the USA, so much so that those who enter illegally are even bold enough to demand that they enjoy the full rights of a citizen. In most parts of Europe even the GREAT grand kids of visible immigrants dare not ask for this, and are expected to meekly meld in and keep quiet, even as they face social and economic exclusion.
