Like, of all things why was it unbridled racism that these goons just let loose and cranked to 11? What the hell happened in that many peoples lives to make them so full of prejudicial, unwarranted hate?

Other countries are more homogeneous. They have people of different races living together but not to the extent of the U.S. And slavery and Jim Crow being a big part of the U.S' history doesn't help either

This country was literally founded on racism

Also people in their 60s and older grew up around leaded paint and all kinds of gnarly pesticides so they're losing it

Also the internet is a good place for lots of dipshits to congregate

Also younger people think it's funny and edgy to be racist and then it spins out of control into full on ideology

This could be a good point, and that's fucking sad if so. Racism isnt a joke as anyone with even a tiny brain should be able to understand

Well I'm talking about the Republican party and their whole "mask off" stance they and their followers currently have going on. No other country has people being this blatantly forthright about it on a daily basis. The rest of the world is watching in horror I assure you

The US was founded on racism. Our Constitution was originally written to state that a black person was considered less than a person.

For one thing it's more mixed than other countries. It's hard being a racist in Mexico when majority of people that live there are all originally from Mexico, they all mostly look the same and speak the same language. If anything the ones that look more indigenous are usually criticized against.

Firstly Because we have a more diverse population then many other countries.

Secondly because various historical reasons that I am not going in-depth on.

Third because US news is the most visible outside the USA. It gets more attention.

And fourth because a lot of other places kinda sweep their racism under the rug...or simply the populace as a whole isnt aware of how bad things really are(and again may have a less diverse population) Pretty much every country has a problem with racism. How bad it is varies greatly. The USA definitely is worse then quite a few countries.

Plus the USAs racism has really really been brought to the forefront this year.

Is the USA really more racist than others countries?

Didnt China just force out all of their African immigrants and throw their Muslim population in concentration camps

Australia treats the Aboriginals pretty bad.

Various European countries have white nationalist/hooligans/proud boys.

Canada is equally if not more diverse, and while it's obviously still a problem the scale is nowhere near that of our neighbours to the South (you guys, but again not all you guys, just people like Trent)

Huh? Mask off like literally? Like wearing or not wearing a mask? That is racist? Or do you mean some figurative movement I am not aware of?

Also yeah if you think America is the most racist country go to like Serbia or somewhere like that.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/05/15/a-fascinating-map-of-the-worlds-most-and-least-racially-tolerant-countries/

I don't know how credible this may be, but it was an interesting read at least. I think a number of people consider the US the most racist, because online, a large number of the people you interact with on a (semi)daily basis come from the US and most of the major news networks are based in the US, so you hear more about what goes on here with politics, race, economics, etc. compared to other countries. It's not hard to get the impression that the US is inhabited by fat, racist, hee-haw people on one end, and enlightened, super hippies on the other.

Dude you're just making shit up out of your ass. When you said Canada is just as diverse as the US or more it isn't even worth arguing. You're shitposting and obviously brainwashed by the media.

BTW, the southern states you point to as the bad guys (which admittedly some are) are the most diverse states in the US as far as black and whites go (theres a whole lotta latinos in the south as well but California or Texas prob beats the real "south" for Latinos).
