Why is the United States so segregated?

Racism is universal, unfortunately.

Your are just getting confused with the largely aggressive vocal minority in america. Racism exist in Brasil, just the same. 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.
