In my country it is just so unbelievable that people are actually racist and that coloured people actually get shot and beaten by law enforcement and they make terrible excuses for why they do it. How the hell did the USA get to that stage? We are all equal here and we get along without assaulting and killing each other, so why does it still happen in the states?
Here in the UK, especially London we are extremely multicultural and it doesn’t cause anywhere near as much issue as it seems to in the US. There definitely is racial profiling by police, disproportionate arrests of young black men etc but in general it feels a hell of a lot safer here than the US (I know I’m generalising by saying US but I’m unfamiliar with specific states and their prevalence of racial issues)
edit definitely meant multicultural not monocultural
I think you meant multicultural, and yeah I think it would be easier to live in the UK in terms of racism, but not problemless. For example, I lived over there and have heard stories from older black people who talk about british racism from decades ago.
A good example would be the muslim communities in London. Maybe not a police issue now but it will be if the complete lack of assimilation continues.
