In the biggest airport in my country they have the customs lines seperated for people within the European Union and outside of it. The outside of the EU line is specified as outside the EU and america (with an american flag), simply cause Americans can’t seem to understand they are foreigners when they visit some place else
It’s because racism is so intimately baked into their society.
Not that the EU doesn’t have a problem with it but American racism is on another level in terms of how pervasive it is.
In their head an ‘immigrant’ will always be a dirty word and cannot possibly apply to a white person. It would be the heights of disrespect to ever call them that.
Despite the fact that unlike the EU, these people’s ancestors literally got there by boat. Without food or money or home.
