I know this, multiple times people here will make these random assumptions about racism and freak out over it.... its a strange thing really.
They think dark skin is so special and we have to treat humans with dark skin a certain way, like wtf who cares what his skin color is? i say lets just focus on peoples character, their personalities, their families... their skin color is about as important as the color of their shirts.

It's not the racism too but why do American police feel the need to always shoot? Could he not have ran after him while back up came...

YES! these are they type of questions that need to be asked,
My answer? i think its because they get away with it, just look at your post "American police"
here in America everyone is mad at police in general... i live very far from Missouri and some people here claim they are scared of cops here because of this incident in Ferguson MO... makes zero sense to me but this attitude is very widespread.

what i'm trying to get at is that the actual officer that did it (Darren Wilson) isn't getting the shame he should be getting... but no people are mostly just using this moment to express their "Fu-k Da Police!" attitude in attempt to sound cool.

America seems racist because we actually have a lot of people of different races, a history, and a willingness to confront our weaknesses in the public forum.

It is amusing to hear people from countries with 10% immigrants, mostly from neighboring countries, brag about how peaceful and enlightened they are.

Not sure on why Japan has so many votes when its really a nationally thing and not race. Not saying they do not harbor hatred for certain race (they certainly do!) however, its more so 'you where not born here, nor where your parents then you could never be'. Which is fair. Japan is keeping Japan for the Japanese.

America is the least racist country of them all. If they have problem with certain people, those people are by-products of their history, not immigrants.

For example, the great numbers of Hispanics are becoming Americans at a very fast pace and are not disfunctional, so it goes with Asians, etc.

The Japanese view themselves as a race, the Yamato people.

The type of racism that exists in Japan is different to the one experienced in the ''West''
