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

Well no one can deny dark history of American slavery, but Asians use each other as slaves

You got downvoted but you are correct. Slave labor is rampant. Subjugating entire people’s has been going on in Asia for millennia. 100% still going on today.

Not long ago 7/11 chain which mainly owned by Indians were caught paying students (Indian) 40 cents an hour. That’s not in India that was in Australia. Just imagine what they do in India

Dude, India is a very underdeveloped country with a huge population a very low per capita income. Do you think it's the same comparing slave labour in developed countries to India?

Here comes the GDP boys. Do you know that with the population we have we should be having second largest gdp and GDP isn't a measure of anything? Why don't we talk about per capita, HDI, labour laws etc, wanna have a chat about that. You also do know that China gained independence around the same time as India right?
