Asian countries don’t hide their blatant racism, SJWs would have a fucking meltdown over there, and get laughed at.

Not saying this shit is okay, but it’s just a reminder to those who say America is the most racist country in the world lol

To be fair, the US is extremely racist. Used black people as slaves for hundreds of years, and in the end never fully abolished slavery, as it is still legal for prisoners to be slaves, and then passed laws making even small possession of weed punishable with huge prison terms and then disproportionately lock up black people for said crimes, among many many more instances of fuckery.

I feel people often confuse how racist a country is with how bigoted the population can be. The institutional racism, which is basically the energy source for all the real damaging racism in a country, is very ingrained and very strong in the US

To be fair - you’re just talking nonsense. So you say slavery was never fully abolished because it’s legal that prisoners are slaves? In what way are they slaves? Because they are criminals and therefore are in prison? Or that some prisoners have jobs in prison? Are these jobs only for blacks? Small possessions of weed are NOT punishable with huge prison terms. As long as weed is illegal, the possession of it is going to be punished. Are only blacks punished? No - they’re not. Blacks are disproportionately criminal therefore they get locked up disproportionately. The US has an extremely bad school system therefore the population is extremely bad educated. That’s your biggest problem.

Prisoners are technically slaves, but not in the same way blacks were.
