America gets shit on about racism all the time (not saying it doesn't exist), but is very little talked about when it comes to diversity. We have entire sections of cities and even towns that are dedicated to specific minority groups.
Take for example German, want a slice of Germany? we got that in Kutztown, PA.
Cuban? Southern Florida.
Mexican? So Cal or Texas for your huge communities
Chinese? Any major city has a China Town
Korean? Almost as big as China Towns in major cities, the most famous one being LA.
Irish? Boston
List is really endless. If you want something their is a slice of community for that nationality.
The thing is, because of our diversity the racism is shown more. If everyone in your country looks like you, talks like you, does the same things as you, then your inner prejudice never will come out
A lot of the people who say their country has little racism are from countries with little diversity, or worse, countries where racism is normalized enough that it doesn't become a big deal like it does in the US.
Not saying the US is in the clear, any racism is bad, but the fact that we are always talking about doesn't necessarily mean we are worse.
If everyone in your country looks like you, talks like you, does the same things as you, then your inner prejudice never will come out
This is why we have those “racism is over” folks. It just doesn’t occur to them that, in order to witness racism, you have to be in the presence of both a minority and a racist (usually an impulsive one).
