> While the part of Europe I come from is completely white for various reasons, nobody really cares about race. Maybe because in a homogeneous society, there's no reason to talk about race. > Then you come to the US and it's all about race race race and more race. Maybe because unlike the parts in Europe that you mentioned (which were completely white), there are different races here. > You are born with your race and you can't change it. You are born with your class, but you can change it. Focus on that part. People here are NOT discussing race because they want to change their races. They are discussing race because just like sexism, homophobia, etc, racism against anyone (even if they're doing well professionally) is something to highlight, acknowledge and work towards getting rid of. I'll certainly want to be in a country that actively talks about race than a country that doesn't. If you think not talking about race means there's no or less racism in Europe, then just look at soccer / football.
