Because people are insecure and uneducated. Until education becomes priority and is properly funded and religion dies the death it should have hundreds of years ago, racism will slowly cease.

All in all, you're on a site where the GAF politics rejects come to play. You won't find much constructive discussion here

When I went to Europe I found a lot more people said comments that would be deemed racist in US. People are far more educated and knowledgeable about racism in US than in other countries. Stop bashing the US.

Yeah... no.

Thank you for understanding what I'm trying to say.

Even after I wrote this, people keep commenting "When I went to Europe people were racist". Can someone tell people that just like you can´t review a book by reading the title, you can't comment on a post that you haven't read either?

The U.S is not inherently any more racist compared to other countries.

Rather, the United States has a history of trying to deal with uncomfortable things by pretending it doesn't exist. Pretending Racism doesn't exists exacerbates it. Combine this with the fact that the U.S is one of the most diverse nations on the planet, and the result is that there are more instances where diverse people interact and this suppressed racism can flare up.

In addition, Racism is not necessarily as tribalistic as most would argue it is. Rather it is used to justify institutionalized practices by appealing to the ego. For instance, consider Slavery, which on the surface seems motivated by Racism. As slavery is not unique to a specific "race", nearly every race has been enslaved at some time in history, a motivation of Racism isn't necessarily a justification.

Rather Racism served as, and can continue to serve as, a tool to justify immoral actions in pursuit of more concrete motivations. It is much easier to sugarcoat the pillaging and looting of valuable natural resources as "liberating the heart of darkness" and "bringing light and happiness to the savages".

To be honest both Argentina and Chile come first to mind when were talking about racism in Latin America. Despite that it's embarassing how nationalistic all of these Hispanic nations are always trashing the neighbor countries, insulting their women, comparing themselves to European countries atleast that's the impression i get when i read forums, news or even on Youtube.

Simon Bolivar wanted a United Latin America and he failed, yet a certain Brazilian company actually made his dream come true with bribes.

Yeah, using “Caucasian” as a synonym for white is about as accurate as the Aryan term. Caucasians have white and brown skin, and are generally from Armenian, Georgian, and Azerbaijani lands occupying from what today is Iran to Russian territories located between the Black and Caspian seas.

White people are generally of European ancestry rather than Caucasian.

The audio playing on this page AUTOMATICALLY is SUPER ANNOYING....

And back to topic:

In my opinion the problem in the US is the separation of communities into race specific neighborhoods, or social classes. So people are not used to mixing together as much as they do in other countries and for example if you grow up in a white and wealthy neighborhood during your entire childhood, teen years and young adulthood you will have a tendency to distrust other people that are not white and wealthy cause you don't know them and you never see them.

Well OP, although I agree with the general line... there are things in Brazil that are considered black culture as the religion, music, and things that were imported from USA black culture... but I do agree that most don't give a fuck if it's white, black or any other culture they will like and do independent of race.
