US vs Europe Racism

It's similar to how racism is presented. Many people talk about how "racist" the US is, and of course there is still a lot of racism in the US.But there is racism everywhere. I've lived in several countries, including Switzerland. I've never heard anyone except people that have lived in CH talk about how racist it is (very).The difference, I think, is that the US is the country most likely to admit fault when they are racist. Americans themselves will say "yes

Discussions of racism/discrimination are different in Europe than USA. Europe doesn't quite classify people by a small amount of 'races' (like white/black/etc.), instead using local ethnicities, which can get much more complex.

Racism is everywhere, don't act like it's unique to the USA.

Quite a lot of this seems US specific. I don't think for instance the UK has anywhere near the same level of racism.

You are totally correct.It's cultural though, we (the people in the US) are obsessed with race. Literally everything you do and talk about is colored by it, and it's pretty much impossible to escape.The more heterogeneous the society becomes the more obsessed we become with the differences between us.You're seeing it too in the UK and will be seeing a LOT more of it as your demographics shift to be like ours.

You know the rest of the world isn't as racist as the USA, so be a little more careful with your 'everywhere' please.

Maybe that's considered "racist" in the US or something.

The USA has a history of doing racism based only on skin colour. But in many other countries there have been "culture" /"ethnicity" based racism. This is what your noticing. Accent (ie. culture/ethnicity) racism.

Maybe because I'm from Europe (and the native population here is predominantly white)? Although even in the US, I don't see racism as being "tolerated", at most "present and being exterminated".

My experience has been that european cultures are approximately as racist as the US, they just have different histories and dynamics so it comes out differently. There is a lot less visible reckoning with race as well, which makes it easier to assume or pretend that there are no problems with it.
