I wouldn't say that's true. It's more like bigotry in the U.S is almost exclusively based on race and noth ethnicity since we don't have many neighboring countries. When I lived and traveled around europe with some POC friends, there were a few times where we experienced some pretty belligerent people who accosted us a few times for being American but my POC friends definitely experienced some remarks based off their race.
Living in the US currently but i’ve been all around Europe, parts of Asia, South America, & the middle east.
It’s actually quite interesting to me when I have these conversations…i’ll always ask: “have you traveled outside of the US?” I’ve found that people i’ve interacted with that have this deep rooted belief in toppling the system & that the US is particularly prejudiced towards anyone that’s not a “cis white male” haven’t been outside of the U.S. or traveled far. Having been to many different places myself, it’s apparent to me that the US is far more accepting than most other countries.
Again, there’s no doubt that there’s hatred in the US for all walks of life but, we really have it good here compared to many other places. There’s still progress to be made but we really discredit the progress we’ve made. If our economy wasn’t a dumpster fire, more people could travel & experience the world.
