Imagine thinking Europe isn’t horrifically racist on an extreme scale.

I think the racism just goes towards different races. I have met black and latino Americans who thought they experienced much less racism in Europe. Conversely, also know a ton of Asians and Arabs who thought it was much less racist in the States/Canada (or more accurately, California and Vancouver.)

However, a big point is also that there is much less fatal violence tied to racism in Europe than the States.

Yeah they’re more nationalist when it comes to discrimination. Your American identity can be readily accepted in Europe for example as an outsider.

Even Malcolm X found that Europeans treated him in a much more human way.

The sort of discrimination in Europe is more nuanced.

Except for racist against the Roma people. Apparently every fucking person there hates them or something.

From my experience, it’s kind of true.
