Yes, there is racism here but why do people harp on it? If this country was so awful, then why in the hell did Barack Obama's father decide to come here in 1954 when we were way more racist?
You do realize in Kenya in the last 10 years they have tribal warfare with up to 1,500 butchered and 180k to 600k displaced. I would say hating on someone for their tribe is not different than race. It's the same damn thing. So what you are complaining about exists basically all over the world - even basically all black countries.
"Yes, there is racism here but why do people harp on it?" We harp on it because we don't like it and think our country can do better. It's not that complicated.
The post you are responding to never made a comparative claim about the level of racism in the US compared to other countries, just stated that the US is a land of racism and is fearful of immigrants, which both are pretty clearly true. We might have less than some other countries, but why does people complaining about and pointing out the racism in our country or on this website strike such a nerve with you? Other countries also have cancer, so should stop trying to fight cancer here? Are people who bring up cancer just a bunch of whiners?
It's amusing how quickly triggered you are whenever someone dares mentions racism on your site. Almost without fail you denounce the complainers and give at least some form of implied support/soft justification for the racism posted on your site. Very similar to the approach used by Trump in the politically disastrous "both sides" statement.
And then you wonder why people think you are alt-right whacko? If you were more clever you could probably conceal it better.
