    True, I haven't been to any of those states. My comment reflects my own experiences and the immigration of non-Caucasoid people to the United States.

    I usually draw ignorant line at about 1995ish where there are limited internet's available at that time and beyond.

    Prior to that, it was from encyclopedias, library,tv, and word of mouth that how other people from certain countries were like.

    Now we have internet and many information of all sort.

    I understand some turds from certain areas of poverty place might have taken them longer to find out this and that. That excuse card (I have no $ for AOL dialup to look up mexico, Estonia, etc) is old, because there are low income subsidy for internet use now.

    One level stupider than ignorant is just pure hate.
    Good example I've heard was:
    "I am Armenian and I hate Turkish Muslims because they killed my people because we are christians."

    Yes. Healing take longer time and also time of healing gets much shorter if apology is done faster.

    Another one someone mentioned was education.
    Just teach the history. Do not put your personal opinion SUCH AS how radical Israelis beat the shit out of reverand/pastor who visited Israel. That is not a world history.

    There are many cultures that have really deep and pervasive race/class/ethnicity divides. China has real issues between different regions/languages and even accents (people of Hong Kong can even tell when a mainlander is speaking Cantonese and have bias against them). Same goes for India. In many parts of Asia and Africa, those with lighter colored skin are held in higher regard (hence cosmetic companies selling skin lighteners). Mexico sees friction between those from native Aztec ancestry vs. Spanish.

    The US is very conscious of racism and has made great progress in avoiding it.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    All historically white nations, interesting. But none of them have ever elected a black president with a Musilim name before.

    Yeah, the skin color being darker and lighter in many countries are usually not because of race, but class back then.
    Back before even people know other races before, peasants, farmers, bauers, (whatever some calls it) worked at a farm field, and they were seeing lower working classes historically.
    However, thanks to the sports GOLF, usually higher tan (darker skin)= much more time to play golf a a private club.

    Regardless of how racist the US is or is not, the entire idea that racism is a bad thing that we should work to eliminate is pretty much an American (and British) construct.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    So I see a couple of black kids were killed in the Capital Hill Autonomous Zone.

    Where is the outrage or were they martyrs for "the cause".

    Like everything else the communists do, it's only an "outrage" if someone they don't like kills a black kid, BLM and Antifa killing black kids is just fine.

    https://www.libertynation.com/welcom...gregation-era/

    Antifa and Black Lives Matter have taken over a six-city block area in Seattle and declared it a new country. The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) is barricaded by protesters and has issued a list of demands. Perhaps not surprisingly for two organizations obsessed with all things race-related, their key platform includes, among other things, segregation.
    Democrats blame others for the things they themselves are doing....always and forever. If you vote (D) then you're in this boat, I hope it sinks and you all drown in your lies, platitudes, and hypocrisy.

    Still NOTHING about the 2 black kids murdered by Antifa and BLM.

    And nothing from our resident BLM and Antifa supporters either..... Imagine that.
