Honesly I have no idea how you'd define what is a "better" outcome.
- mcv 4y ago> Honesly I have no idea how you'd define what is a "better" outcome. I think less blatant racism or classism in the verdicts would be better. In the US there's no shortage of examples of poor people of colour getting far more severe punishments for crimes for which rich white people get minor punishment or barely a slap on the wrist.
- whimsicalism 4y agoEurope is also super racist, they just don't have sizable black populations. Anecdotally, I have witnessed Europeans saying much more casually racist things than coastal Americans.
- celticninja 4y agoEurope is nowhere near as homogeneous as the USA. People from New York speak the same language (in general) as those from California and subscribe to the same cultural ethos (to a degrees). The difference between France and Lithuania in terms of Language is huge, and similarly so is their cultural heritage.
