Why is the United States so segregated?

Ok, this thread is getting completely out of control. People seem to completely skip what I wrote and just answer to the title, and that's not what I want.

Because people don't often read past the title, unfortunately.

You don't need to tell me that the racists in the US are a minority, I know that. I also know that the US houses many different cultures, I actually wrote that in my text.

They rarely read. Outrage culture is what most of these people live for.

What I am referring to in this thread is the practice of dividing people into different races, caring way too much about skin color as using that as a character-defining thing, even unconsciously. Everything seems to be defined by skin color over nationality, ethnicity, etc.

It's because many are uneducated. Especially those of the south. Trust me, I grew up in Texas, where the Civil Wars true intention is stopped at "states rights" and science is considered an optional opinion.

By the way, why are so many people getting defensive saying that "racism is not exclusive to white people"? I never said that. I even used an example of thinking skin color creates a certain behavior by black people in the op (but I guess no one read that).

White people who are insecure and more likely than not conservative, often get offended by the idea that a white person could be racist. Some here might even claim to be a different race to hold high validation of their opinion. 

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

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?
