We are just not as loud and abnoxious. I known a few people with racist beliefs where i live, hell my grandmother was openly one until she died last year (lovely person, by the way). The difference is that we as a society keep it at a low profile, especialy on the media. |
That much is obvious but what the OP is asking is why racism is so deeply rooted in the culture of the United States more so than in Canada and Brazil.

It isn't.

Translated lyrics:
Black drama
Between the mud and the stalwart
Money, issues
Greed, Luxury, fame
Black drama
Bad hair
Dark skin
The injury, the sore
Looking for a cure
Black drama
He tries to see
But he sees nothing
Besides a far away and
Shadowy star
He feels the drama
The price, the demands,
In love, in hate
The insane and constant vengeance
Black drama
I know who plays againt me
And who’s with me
The pain that always walks with me
So that I won’t end up just another fucked up black guy
Prison and favela
Graves, blood
Sirens, tears and candles..
a crude example, but it works to show how the Brazilian pop culture at the very least also embraces that disconnection between black and white.
but like i said in my last comment, this type of view don't exist as much in our media outlets nowadays since the Brazilian economy its the hot topic right now. In the USA, racism is more prolific on the past 2 years or so thanks to the shift in government i believe.
