We know who the guy is. It's still extremely racist. The fact that you don't see this stuff as racist pretty much proves my point.

Such a thing in the US would be seen as so toxic that the guys career would be ruined.  Which is why it'd be a LOT harder for a racist party to get many delegates in power even with a similar government system.

 

The rest of your arguement is well... mostly unfounded.  We don't just "pick the best".

Minorities are underrepresented in our government, sure, not anywhere near Germany though.

Also you've gotten away from argueing that Germany isn't more racist... and ended your arguement by saying "Germany is more racist because of the situation we're in."

Which, I don't really see your point behind that.

 

Also uh, you do realize that your survey was of other people talking about what other people think right?  What percentage of black people thing white people hate them etc.  That's not so much a measure of racism so much as a measure of sensitivity about racism.

Versus the survey I posted which gave very specific questions that were racist and got the numbers on it.

It's akin to a poll asking how many people you know are rich vs research that looks at the tax returns of people you know to deterimine how many are rich.


Asking if visible minorities are treated equally isn't so much a measure of racism so much as it is a measure at perceiving racism.  There isn't a society around yet today where minorities are treated fully equal and it's going to be quite a struggle to get there even if you get to a point where 100% of society believes everyone should be treated equal, due to subconsious racism brought on by societal factors.
