Another thing that I cannot take, its the continuous whining.
If you stand on your ground and you defend your point of view, and don't succumb to American nonsense about race then its because you are a hypocrite that hates Americans.
I have a European and colombian mindset, not an American mindset. (nothing wrong with that but Americans should learn to take it)
A lot of Americans seem to think that if foreigners are not US hang hoes, then its because they hate the US.
Americans would benefit tremendously from traveling and interacting with other cultures. The issue is America is monolingual and the only language that has some prominence "Spanish" they act as if it's some martian language destroying their culture which is ridiculous considering Spanish is a western European language just like English.
And of course, everything has to be about categorizing humans into skin colors and then pretending is a big issue.
Such a myopic and reductive way of understanding the world.
The importance skin colour has for you *which you Americans call race*, we give to culture!!
to us is more important to have CULTURALLY FRENCH president, skin colour has the relevance of eye colour!!
France has always had French presidents, if a black one comes to power, he will be a president as well as long as he is French!!!
Martinique is not an ex colony, is a proper French province. Any one born in Martinique is a French citizen and its governor has the weight of any governor in France.
I feel closer to any black francophone christian person than to any white American. To me white Americans are total foreigners. Black francophones are fellow folks of my culture.
I said, well, actually, people of different races and ethnicities do very well in the US.
You, on the other hand, claimed that the US -- a country you've never lived in -- "marginalizes" people because of race. You made other accusations against the US -- all based on race.
But now you're claiming that race is a "big deal" to me? LOL. You're good.
I'm a child of European immigrants, I can claim UK citizenship, and, as a product of Canada, I have a good understanding of French. I've lived in the US for 20+ years. One could argue that I have a better understanding of European culture than you do American culture.

I don't know where to begin with this. ^
Your cluelessness (and your bigotry) is astounding.
First of all, most European countries don't have the same concept of race. There's only one race and that's the Human race.
Second the racial tension and political situation in America is due to the history of the United States. Most minorities have no resentment towards European countries.
First point, we recognize different races, but that doesn't mean to discriminate in any way, and by no means does it mean you are racist if you acknowledge a difference. What a bland world it would be, and scary, if we were all the same.
Second, we don't, that is, until someone starts preaching that we are part of the American problem, and spreads racial hatred from the west side of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is not an American problem or a European problem. This is a human problem that has existed for ages.
Washington DC today has become a military occupied zone because of this problem at its root.
i agree usa and europe is least racist places. i came from europe and i will tell you usa is not racist , but because minorities make money and have special privilages so they keep racism alive even if it is not there. now there is new type of racism in usa according to yahoo. microagreesion how you look at or behave around minorities especialy black people i know ludacris to the next level. so europe do not allow blm or others to go around calling place racist because they will try to exploit word racism not real racism to get special privilages that comes to being fake victim of nothing
Lol. South America may be the MOST racist place on earth. My wife is Peruvian.
They are not always racist in black-white terms, but they all despise each other.
Africa and Asia are far more nakedly racist. Did you not know that they are sterilizing Uigher women in China, specifically along eugenicist doctrine? It is all right if you didn't, but please research it. Or did you not know that in Japan they call black people something that translates like "dirty face?"
Don't get me started on Africa. Not only what they have done/are doing to white farmers in South Africa and Zimbabwe, but also how they kill other ethnic Africans. The Tutsi/Hutu massacres are not unique.
This is the problem, friend. People want to call lowering taxes and protecting borders "racism" but don't want to talk about REAL racism where people are murdered and forcibly sterilized. It is time for this leftist sickness to end.
I repeat: Europe and America are the most unracist places on earth. I add, if we define "racist" with reality.
I think it's untrue for the most part. We started the Eugenics movement.
Also look at Margaret Sanger and her idea to "wipe out" certain populations through abortion and Planned Parenthood's through forced steriization.
If we kill off people who aren't considered "human."
We cannot say we are better
No race is better or worse when it comes to treating other races. Just different.

Are you seriously trying to equate abortion with racism? I get that abortion is a hot topic today, but the attempt at drawing up an equivalency seems rather far fetched.

In the United States, the abortion rate for black women is nearly 5 times that for white women.
Black and Hispanic women have nearly 60% of abortions.
America has had black immigration longer than most or all of Europe. 400 years. Even though Britian had slaves, it was nowhere near the same extent. The most racially intolerant part of Western Europe is France perhaps and they've not had a good history with immigrants living in "les banlieus" so there's an underclass almost like there is in the US.
Europeans used to be the reason for immigration in America; they tried to keep families together. D.C. wrote that away, and now Europeans aren't the poor tired huddled masses... America still has gun rights, and maybe that has something to do with the attitude you suggest may be happening.
Britons were sent to penal colonies for stealing apples and crusts of bread, because the new-rich wanted indentured servants and miners... these were never given their freedom. By Briton, I mean the ancient Brythonic race: The 5'6", Silures tribe from Ligurian Iberia at Mount Solorus. These were the miners and Druids. Maybe this is the reason why America is more interested in race than poor Great Britain may turn out to be. From a distance, apart from the politics that say all who live there are Britons, across the pond the view is more clear. Hindsight is 20/20: What Americans used to be was Europeans.
Festus Avienus tells us that beyond the tin isles were Celts who took the land from the Ligurians. Strabo says that all of the Iberian Promontory was called Liguria. Ligurians were the first people of Italy, before the Pelasgians of the Peloponnese came. Today, most of the Ligurians still live in Wales and Cornwall, and that strip of the Riviera near our Nemeton.
American History being none of our making, makes the history of our European forefathers vital. We are Racialists not Racists, (in today's various meanings) in the same way that Africa cleaves to its roots. If we don't think much of our race we don't deserve the future or the past.

Racialist vs Racist
