Europe is super racist but they convince themselves that they aren't because they refuse to talk about it.
I think the US is more institutionally racist but less socially racist (depending heavily on where you are) but it's because have more extremes here. Our antiracist movement encourages talking openly about racism instead of pretending it doesn't exist.
My one high school PE teacher was such a slacker that I actually admired him for it. He also played favorites in a hilarious way, like me and my friend would be talking loudly in class and he'd ignore us. But as soon as someone else spoke up he'd tell them be quiet. Then would bs with us about sports and what not. It was so obvious he was just checking the box every day.
Not a good teacher but kind of hilarious to see that level of professional apathy. Probably didn't help that he was only about 4 years older than us. I think people forget a lot of teachers aren't much older than teenagers
