It's partly due Chinese brainwashing, and partly due to American brainwashing. Imagine whenever an American expat talks to a foreigner, which happens daily, someone mentions racism in US. Very soon people will get really sick and tired of hearing about it, and will emotionally deny/downplay its existence.

What’s funny is the most racist interactions I have had in professional situations were with Chinese businessmen. China is exceptionally racist. But they do try to cudgel America with it repeatedly.

  I think this is true for many places around the world: where racism is just as serious or more so than in the US, but racism appears more prominent in the US because the issue has been dealt with more head on.

  China is so racist they're throwing people into forced labor camps and prisons based off their ethnicity.

Long-term American expat here. I know you're only trying to make a point, but racism is almost never the first thing anyone mentions, even if they're talking about America, which usually isn't the first thing someone wants to talk about. And when it does come up? Well yeah, racism in America is a huge problem, and I don't think expats have any problem talking about it. Being thin-skinned about your country's complicated history is never a good look.

  > racism is almost never the first thing anyone mentions, even if they're talking about America Sadly that's not the experience of Chinese expat and immigrants, especially those in the States. Many people can face criticism, but few enjoys being bombarded with the same criticism everyday. In fact, American netizens probably has a similar experience and reaction. You just have to look at some sibling comments to see how they deflect and downplay racism, despite my clear intention of just using it to demonstrate a point, as opposed to seriously criticize US on this worldwide problem.
