HOLY CARP!!!

I'm not aware of any asian country that isn't unapologetically and unashamedly "racist". I'm pretty sure it's not the white americans teaching them whatever it is they feel. |

Black Lives matter is in it's own way "racist." The only people not allowed to be racists are white people. And here's the reason why. It's in bad taste. |

Let me preface this by saying that I've never met an Australian that I didn't like, but they do have a strong reputation of racism. The British (as a whole) seem to have the whole black/white thing sorted; now they just have to work on the Albanian/British thing. With us "Muricans", I hope it doesn't take 200 more years. I find the whole thing unnecessary and distracting. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I find it overblown. I don't discriminate in my daily life and I know very few who do. |

There's plenty of racism in Britain. It's a different dynamic from the US, and race isn't really the national obsession that it seems to have become over here, but there are still problems. More recently, a lot of British racists seem to be getting their rocks off by saying they're anti-Muslim, however it's no coincidence that they're the same bunch of people who were also targeting blacks and Indians in the 1970's. |

National obsession. I guess that's what I mean. I don't think it will ever go away completely. And I specifically said black/white, not Muslim/white or anyone else. I get that the whole history of blacks is different in Britain than it is in USA, but it just seems to me that Britain doesn't have the same level of racism with blacks that USA does. |
