A black friend of mine who's a travel writer (hence has lived in a bunch of different countries) says that she often finds more problems in terms of racism in Europe, relative to the US.
Also, a few years back some Indian extraction friends of mine were complaining about casual racism in the Western European country they were living in.
So, it's probably not as great as some US media portrays, but it's definitely not as bad as the other US media portrays.
- throwaway894345 5y agoI’ve traveled Europe a lot as well and was similarly surprised at first (because the media’s portrayal of reality is severely warped). People say things like “America is a literal ethnostate” and other such nonsense but they don’t realize that America is one of the most egalitarian places in the history of the planet. That isn’t contradicted by the bad things that happen or have happened here; it’s just a testament to how bad things are and have been everywhere for all time.
