Well Luxembourg and the US are not the same country. And I imagine not a lot of black people live in Luxembourg so BLM wouldn't make much sense there.

But here in the US, things can go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye and I want to show you another video of how quickly things can escalate even when police simply want to pat down for safety's sake.

Well, we do have about 12% black people living in Luxembourg (most of them capeverdians, but other African regions are quickly growing in numbers). That's about the same number as in the US, which reach 13.4% of the US population.

Still, BLM wouldn't make any sense here - but not due to not being enough black people in the country, but rather because there are no policies which would warrant any protests by colored people. We have no racial profiling of any kind (strictly outlawed) or even consider different skin colors as a different race to begin with. There are no differences in how black people or people of any other ethnicity are treated in Luxembourg. Sure, there's always some people with prejudices, but outside of those, no one cares what your skin color is.

I'm looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Luxembourg and not finding much on an African population... Help me out here.
