For those who are not aware of the crisis:
The Rohingya people are a Muslim minority group residing in the Rakhine state. They have been persecuted for 40-50 years now by the Myanmar government. Those who fled Myanmar to escape persecution reported that women had been gang raped, men killed, houses torched, and young children thrown into burning houses. The military crackdown has resulted in over 2000 deaths after the Rohingyas attacked border posts an year ago. The Rohingya people are considered “stateless entities”, as the Myanmar government has been refusing to recognise them as one of the ethnic groups of the country. For this reason, the Rohingya people lack legal protection and basic rights from the Government of Myanmar, are regarded as mere refugees from Bangladesh, and face strong hostility in the country—often described as one of the most persecuted people on earth. To escape the dire situation in Myanmar, the Rohingya try to illegally enter Southeast Asian states, begging for humanitarian support from potential host countries. 25,000 people have been taken to boats from January to March in 2015 by human traffickers.
International State Crime Initiative released a report drawing on leaked government documents suggesting that the Myanmar government are in the final stages of an organised process of genocide against the Rohingya and have called upon the international community to redress the situation as such.
Intelligence reports linking the radical Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army to the Lashkar-e-Taiba; key individuals in ARSA, or its front organisations such as Rohingya Solidarity Organisation, are allegedly close to Hafiz Saeed. RSO has a Pakistan chapter, and the Jamaat-ud-Dawa front Falah-e-Insaniyat had a presence in Rohingya refugee camps in 2012. Though any Rohingya individual has not been linked with terror organisations, the fear has been enough to make them lead a life in dismal conditions.

Not to bash the US as a country or anything since it's still a great country with a nice constitution and all but I've travelled to many different countries from Europe to Latin America and no country compares to the US when it comes to race-baiting, racial segregation and obsession with racial differences in general. In Norway, despite me clearly looking foreign to their country, my racial appearance does play a little bit of a factor in the country but not as much as in the US. It's more my accent, my language and my name that really gets me questions from Norwegian locals.

While there are some hostility against Muslims in Western Europe due to many fake refugees (from many Muslim countries) coming to their countries to cause problems rather than to actually contribute to the country, respect the locals and the country itself and simply be grateful that they were even granted citizenship in the first place, I've never heard of a single race-related issue coming when I visited these European countries (regarding black people or Non-Whites), compared to the US, where they complain about Black people (along with many other Non-White racial and ethnic groups) causing crimes or any problems in the country (US).

It seems like out of the rest, East Asian and Germanic women seem to be the less controlling, less crazy or psychotic and a more level-headed type of women that doesn't cause men headaches and stress. African American (not Native Sub Saharan African women) and Latina women seem to have the notoriety of being the craziest type of women who causes their men stress.
