American racism is VERY complicated. President Trump accidentally explained it pretty well in his comments about "shithole countries". But essentially, people from most European countries are considered "white" when it comes to hiring and diversity issues.
- mathverse 4y agoThat's unfortunate but not unexpected. Europeans consider white americans / african americans / latino americans to be just "americans". There's no distinction.
- issa 4y agoThat's just how silly racism is. By the same token, Americans consider all Europeans to be "just Europeans". We don't distinguish if you're from Ireland or England, Greece or Macedonia, etc.
- BuyMyBitcoins 4y agoI don’t follow the “just Europeans” consideration you’ve proposed. As an American, people will inquire and make distinctions when race/ethnicity comes up. ‘So-and-so is French’, or Italian, or Greek, etc.. Usually people also mention when their families immigrated, or that they are part x/y (Irish, part German, or something to that effect).
- em-bee 4y agobut they also make distinctions in where someone is from within the US, and in the end they are still all considered white.
