This kind of reaction by Americans are amazing to me as a Mexican. It's like... Americans jump to all these hoops and loops to show how NON RACIST and NON DISCRIMINATORY they are but then keep discriminating and being racist in small everyday things.
I had the opportunity of living in the UK and Germany for several years. Sure, there's racist people there (particularly in Eastern Germany where I lived!). But in general I liked the feeling of not being racist just by... not being racist. When race just doesn't matter, is when you really have killed racism.
So yeah, keep removing statues, renaming stuff and do anything else that makes you sleep at night. But at the end of the day if you want to stop discriminating, just... stop discriminating.
