Ive never met anyone more racist than a new Zealand Indian talking about an Indian who just arrived from India. Its like they know exactly where to strike to inflict the most damage. (Except maybe a south African talking about a non white south African)

People talk about racism in America, and yes it's a problem, but having spent time with people from around the world, holy hell. America is probably the least racist country in the world. Absolutely dwarfed by the weird, vitriolic, oddly specific racism basically everywhere else.

Don't you think that's because you're traveling and seeing it through a traveler's eyes? Also, you're probably white. A few of my friends have been opening up lately about how bad it is and don't forget the BLM years. America is fucking racist.

Not really. It's less through travel and more having conversations with my immigrant friends about the things they experienced in their home country.

And again, yeah racism is still bad here, I'm just saying comparatively.

For me it was an old acquaintance in college. Dude was Japanese and the things he said about other Asian groups was distressing.

Yeah traveling and meeting people, then getting them to talk about their neighbors or immigrants is eye opening.

I don't really talk politics (especially while traveling) and definitely don't share or hold racist or nationalistic opinions. Folks from around the world are happy to share their hatred of others...not being on my turf, I nod and disengage.
