It's slightly sad that racism still has a part in world-wide culture. In some countries, it's even pretty much accepted - I read a Russian newspaper recently saying, "Well, the Americans have finally got themselves what they deserved", implying that nothing is lower than having a black president.
And I was just thinking this was the 21st century.
- dchest 18y agoNot defending the newspaper, but there is a certain image of African Americans created by a) Hollywood, b) history, I guess. 95% of Russians haven't seen any black people ever. Racism is a difficult thing to discuss. Not only it's sad that racism still has a part in world-wide culture, it's also sad that crazy political correctness becomes a part of the culture.
