Even though, the United States is racist, do you agree racism is worse in Latin America, Asia, Middle East, India, etc?

Question

It is. Like before the 80s this country was way more racist than it is now. It is still very racist but not as racist as before. But Latin America is way more racist these days and so is other places. They don't want to admit it though

Yeah, definitely. India and Middle Eastern countries always rank in the top and I've evidence/heard stories.

As for Latin America, in El Salvador it's illegal to be black. They don't take black people for immigration. And Mexico only recently started agknowledging that black Mexicans exist. In many Latin American countries, blacks and indigenous are still marginalized. Brazil actually made it illegal to be racist, so it must've been pretty bad. An Argentine girl was recently jailed there for making monkey gestures and slurs towards a scammer who made dick gestures at her and the Argentine government told Argentines to boycott Brazil. Browns and blacks are protected there, but Argentines get attacked and police don't arrest and even help the attackers. In Peru and Bolivia, indigenous women have been sterilized in the past. In Peru, our taxi driver was openly voicing his dislike of Chinese. And when I was in Panama, the locals were giving better treatment and showing more respect to other Latinos. In Mexico, we experienced this too. They didn't even hide their racism.

In Taiwan, I experienced the same. Asians were getting better/preferential treatment, and they were distrustful even of White people, and preffered to stand on the metro, then sit next to us. Some def/mutes in the gondola were making fun of us, and on the train, one woman took her mask off and made me sick on purpose. China openly admitted it's racist and sees nothing wrong with it. Koreans casually say "nlgger" and during Ebola, they banned black people from restaurants, because they thought they might have ebola. They even wouldn't hire an Asian-American to teach English, because they belief only White people speak proper English.

One common pattern I've noticed in both Asia and Latin America, is they have this belief that anyone who isn't their race is inferior and therefore unworthy of equal treatment. Even White people aren't spared. They hate us less then other races, but they still hate us. I laugh when people say the U. S. is a racist country. There is racism of course, but it's more subtle. Like even if someone is racist, they won't show it, while in other countries, they don't even try to hide it😂

I don’t even agree that the United States is racist

It’s always been an overhyped overblown “issue” that only feeds itself when you talk about it

No one wakes up in the morning to be racist
But if you have to hear about racism every day eventually you will begin to doubt yourself

And no the rest of the world isn’t racist either

It’s an outdated concept and by outdated I mean like 200 years out of style
Back when people genuinely believed that their race made them better than others
No one is taught that anymore

Racism is just something internet trolls use to poke each other

Countries with similar influences that decide one race is more superior than the others and have historically not had any conversations regarding the ethics of these thought processes in the same way the UK and the USA have are countries that will be objectively more racist.

Most Indians are racist to even their own people. I guess it's not about race but more about skin colour, like they probably wouldn't mind a racially black guy with vitiligo. It's not as bad though with the newer generations but still not in a good place.

To a maga, "not as racist as before" means "well, we stopped hanging black people from trees, randomly". Or did you?

This was ruled a suicide, because obviously, that's how a young black student with no history of depression or violence would choose to kill himself. Uh huh.

Many countries have people who are deeply racist. The countries you mention have more of a caste problem as well.

If you don't love America, then go find out. Even the Black Americans want you to leave. Spread your wings and fly fly away...

NathanDavis · Answer

not exactly...

there's a lot of discrimination in Latin America, which is slightly different from racism...

Latin America is mixed AF... so it is quite difficult to define people by race, when most of the population is a fraction of most races

In Cold War era China and Russia, the ruling governments killed tens of millions of people at a time just because they were a different ethnic group or even just because they had a different surname.

In the USA today, our women kill their own babies just because they are too lazy to raise them. We're over 100 million and counting.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yeah, sure it is! In your wildest dreams!!
I KNOW India is!! I nearly married an Induah and she told me about some of the terrible things her parents said about her when she was little because she had much darker skin than them!
Then, her step brother came over to go to college and he still used racial slurs!!
The ONLY racism America has is against WHITE PEOPLE!!

So in your anonymous 30 - 35 years you have lived in Latin America, Asia, Middle East, India, and etc? You know these cultures intimately based on your extensive lived experience? I agree you are full of shit.

Bricealan · Answer

Lets be honest here. You don't even know what 'being racist' Is, so how do you couch a question in those terms? "Even though the United States is racist..." No doubt in you mind. Is there?

IloveMacDemarco4 · Answer

I'm from Brazil and although more than half of our population isn't white, there's still a lot of racism. But I don't think that the US is any better in that sense

Anonymous · Answer

The racism has been changed itself.
Before it was completely different, it was killing, harassment, not giving opportunities.
But now it's a silent one.
They don't want to hurt or make you feel bad (some still want to hurt)
They just want you to suffer in silence.
Also people aren't happy where they were born, they have fought battles to be in places where they are. Thanks to there hardwork.
