Honestly, compared to most places in the world the US is probably one of the most tolerant places out there for people from different racial backgrounds. If a person who has a visibly different skin color than the majority population spent time in most of the countries in Africa, Asia, the middle-east I find it hard to imagine that they would be more accepted and embraced by the local population than a visible minority person would be in the US.

Is the US perfect in terms of racism? Probably not. But it is ludicrous to be holding the US up as an example of racism when we have political leaders in countries like South Africa who are openly saying that they want to confiscate property from and even kill their visible minority population. People need to get some perspective and get out of this comfortable bubble of self-shame and take a look at what the world is actually like. If more countries were like the US, the world would be a far better place.
