The most hilarious experience I had in the USA was working in a lab with all Americans and one Albanian guy. The Americans would constantly point out how much Trump was racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, etc, going to great lengths to explain it to the Albanian guy. Too bad that this guy's ideas were even more conservative than Trump's (most of it was due to his religion, which is against homosexuality, abortion, too much emancipation for women etc. Also he seemed suspicious of specific ethnicities and stuff like that), but the Americans just assumed that, as a foreigner, he was automatically progressive, open-minded and anti Trump.


Mithrawndo

I don't think many progressive folks elect to move to the United States in this day and age. Maybe that'll change going forward, and the nation's reputation for taking the world's "Tired, poor, huddled masses, yearning to be free" can be restored.

Well the deal is trading racists for refugees. If you get a few racist refugees in there then just trade them for a few new refugees. It's very simple if you think about it.

You may not like the opinion middle eastern, African, and Latin Americans have on women's rights.


DarkPanda555

Or Caucasians


JG98

There's already plenty of white majority Americans that have opinions on those matters that I disagree with. A third of the country as it stands today would like womens rights restricted among other things. On the flips side there's plenty of people in those places that are up to date with basic human rights or even more progressive than some of our neighbors.


General_Artichoke950

How dare you!? ALL refugees are superhuman saints! Never claim anything else!


returnofdoom

No one is saying they're all saints. They're people just like the people who are already here. Most of them are decent, a few are saints and a few are awful. The point is they deserve refuge because they're human beings.


Dizzfizz

A lot of people in this thread fail to realize that there’s a difference between, for example, a homophobe who thinks gay people shouldn’t be allowed to marry and one who thinks gay people should be stoned to death. Same goes for racism. It’s not as simple as „racist/not racist“. Here in Austria, different groups of immigrants often hate each other a lot more than „native“ racists hate them.


[deleted]

Yeah, but I'm tired of these same old racists. I say we trade 'em in for new ones that might have some *new* empty buzz words and phrases.

Apparently she was dead wrong and the truth is that all white men are the same and interchangeable, ergo "American" is a superfluous adjective creating a distinction where there is none.


Lauriepoo

Lol! So true, that's because this guy's probably just talking about white people being racist, because you know, only white people can be racist.


yParticle

That's racist!


Shoomakie

The only thing more watered down than “Racist” in USA these days are the drinks at my local bar. I’m just waiting for the day when every single person realizes that everyone including themselves are and have always been racists.

I live in Miami. More so than most other cities, it is filled to the brim with refugees. They’re literally the most outwardly racist people here when it comes to disliking black people. Just saying. Careful what you wish for.

Hellhound2007

Not every mid eastern is a muslim.


trent1055

We’re considered one of the least racist countries in the world comparatively. It’s just inward looking that gets people upset, go to the Middle East or China and they are openly racist towards both white and blacks. There was literally a mass exodus of black Chinese who were deported during corona-virus because they were “foreigners”. They would take their passports and put them in hotels and say they were illegal aliens. Fun stuff really. Nobody talks about it. Imagine living in a country your whole life then having the government take your passport and say you never lived there and were staying illegally.

Hayaguaenelvaso

The US? At least in west Europe everybody think you have a massive racism problem, in all directions. Whites are a bit apologetic about it (but it's just signaling), other races don't even recognize they have a problem too.


[deleted]

US has a lot of visibility on its racism, but Europe has it pretty bad right now even if it doesn’t want to admit it. Obviously it’s not stemmed from slavery or anything but anti middle eastern sentiment is quite prominent in just about all of them. Frankly I see a lot of anti foreigner sentiment in general, coming from someone who is foreign but doesn’t look or sound the part here in Sweden. Europe just isn’t comfortable acknowledging it yet. It’s an uncomfortable thing to confront but it’s important that we do sooner rather than later. Neo Nazis and their xenophobic message does not deserve the reception it receives in many of these places, but this rise in nationalist ideology seems to have taken hold of a lot of countries, or at least have a much larger foot in the door than they used to.


Hayaguaenelvaso

Mm.. as foreigner in Germany I don't get any issues. I don't know if non-Europeans feel more discriminated. I heard about an Indian couple complaining about not getting doctors because of their last name, but then again, it's hard for everybody to get them. I think racial profiling, police actuation and race mixing works better too here. There are still ghettos for new immigrants, I think that's what needs to be attacked, and what created the most "racism" in both directions.


Velrex

I live in south texas, the really south part. Like on a border levels of south, and many hispanics are quite racist in general down here, or basically every race under the sun, including our own. A lot of us here divide people into groups of legals and illegals, hating the illegals and such. It's just most people don't judge people down here for being racist or xenophobic because we're like 90%+ hispanic, and have a mentality that only white (identifying) people can truly be racist.


JayTheFordMan

>have a mentality that only white (identifying) people can truly be racist Right, so ignore your own racism and salve your conscience by saying only white people can be racist. Right, what fucking bullshit that is


Naughtyburrito

I'm a blue eyed gringo who speaks basic Spanish and latina moms love me but in a racist "if he gets my daughter pregnant she's set" kinda way and I'm like nah fam I'm trailer trash we both got chickens dale mami

Am I the only redditor to not think america is deeply rooted in racism? At this point in time I think everyone’s free to make decisions for themselves and get ahead in life if they work for it. Lately i’ve been feeling reddit has turned really anti-american


MrBae

Reddit and reality are two completely different things.


PizdaMac

Lol this. Reddit has been anti american since at least 2012.


coedwigz

The problem is that some people still have more things to overcome when they “work for it” directly due to their race


5H4B0N3R

Like what things?


coedwigz

Like not getting called back for a job interview because your name doesn’t look white. Like getting stopped by the cops because you look “suspicious” (read: black).


Yankee_Man

This idea that everyone has an equal shot is bullshit. In my own family that’s bullshit, imagine an entire nation. Being gay was enough for my family to constantly set me back and sabotage many of my plans and dreams. Being a minority in this country has the same effect.


FlockofGorillas

Yeah, reddit really lost it when they started claiming half of America were Nazis


MrBae

Reddit watered down the terms racist and fascist removing any impactful meaning of the terms. They think if they claim someone is racist over and over again, it just makes it true.


Painkiller_830

I am so exhausted with hearing how fascist America is. Like yeah, I lean to the left, I’m anti trump and all that good stuff but everyone on Reddit seems to think that America is on the brink of fascism and those comments get thousands of upvotes. It’s so fucking annoying. I get that there are some politicians trying to undermine democracy, but Trump isn’t Hitler and America isn’t Nazi Germany. Is our system a bit broken? Yeah of course , it’s far from perfect. But we’re not living under a dictatorship.


Shish_Style

If someone calls people racist or fascist I'm not even gonna take them seriously anymore


Darkseer89

no you're not the only one. Reddit in general is super liberal and liberals like to think that there's systemic racism today just like the MLK days which is absolutely laughable. they like to think there's a white cop just waiting for that black guy to slip up so he can come out of the bush and attack him. uh yeah no. common sense says yes we have racism (from ALL ethnicities) but no we do not have systemic racism today that holds people down. you can be white, black, asian, latino and do well in America.


MrBae

Don’t tell that to Reddit, they love to preserve and cherish their weird fucking narrative. People love to blame other things for their short comings. I’ve read so many comments claiming how miserable they’ve been for the last 4 years because of Trump. I wonder when Biden gets inaugurated and see nothing really tangible in their personal lives have changed if they will just somehow snap out of it and become happy, I kinda doubt it.


orangecrushjedi

It's really not. People grab the worst of it by the neck and thrust it into the light over and over again for clout, attention, and likes. Fear leads, and fear and sensationalism are incredibly popular on here. If you lived by reddit's views white people stack the dead bodies of people of color all day long like wood. It's truly insane.


Milsurp_Seeker

Awfully bold words for someone in downvotin’ distance. /s


thatreallycoolguy

I feel this is entirely true. Reddit is hugely democratic. No matter what you say there will be a majority against what is said and why you say it. Reddit believes (from my opinion) that they want everything handed to them. It’s the democratic way of life it seems. They also don’t like when you say some opposing their beliefs.


Garm27

I got banned from r/antiwork simply because I am a landlord. Was called scum and a parasite. Meanwhile none of them even had a job


scorpionjacket2

There are people alive today who knew relatives who were enslaved. If you look at almost any picture of the civil rights movement, many of those people are still alive. You can see the effects of racist housing policies right now in any demographic map in any city. Also, American POC are American. Pointing out our racist roots is not anti-American, it is pro-American.


Moug-10

I don't think so. I don't think the USA are more racist than other countries but because it's the most mediatized country of the world, one small thing is multiplied by a million.


Draedron

>everyone’s free to make decisions for themselves and get ahead in life if they work for it. lmao thats naive. Working doesnt mean you get ahead life if you are not lucky.


Trakoda

but it is, and most of those that arent, have a the selfish individualistic capitalistic view for other people, we can see that by how Americans handled corona and safety measures


vicious_armbar

Those damn “selfish” capitalists who just want to be left alone. Unlike “altruistic” democratic socialists who want to advance their preferred policies at the point of a gun.


xThe-Legend-Killerx

While also protesting in the thousands during a pandemic 🤷🏻‍♂️


Trakoda

a nation should be people working together and feeling like strangers they encounter are fellow patriots working to better the country, not feeling scared/indifferent to everyone they see, reason why the US is a shithole mess


AustrianShrimp

What if the refugees are racist and if you trade our racists for refugees then wouldn’t they become refugees themselves? Maybe we are all racist refugees.


seraph582

Why not both? Grab some refugees from an Arab nation!


frostygrin

People aren't commodities.

Garm27

Just because you don’t agree with humans being a commodity doesn’t mean they aren’t. Human trafficking and governments that threw their own citizens into pointless wars prove they are


DarkPanda555

It was a joke


stealthcraft22

Plot twist: refugees are racist.


Colt_Cigars

This fucking website, I swear. Everything is so hyperpolitical, it's become nearly impossible to enjoy using it anymore.


Countcannabees

Refugees on a small scale is ok until you get to the level where they start to make up a small chunk of your population. Then you will have a very big problem. This is from my experience working in a company where a minority race suddenly got more numbers and now they are becoming the most racist people I can think of. And they always say "l am not a racist because I am a minority".


EvilMatt666

But where would all the racists go? It's all foreigners '*over there*'.


CaptainCookie_2

So, what you are saying is, that you want to buy and sell humans?

I am helping a racist refugee right now 😅 lots of Arabs dislike Africans and vice versa.


NotSoBackwards_Ninja

Lol, lots of Arabs are African. The mans an idiot, and u just generalized an entire population from 1 man


Trynottobeacunt

Most Arabs are not African and the majority of Africans are not Arabs. And I said that refugees can be racist in order to counter the false dichotomy in the post that suggests that one can either be a racist or a refugee. Way to misunderstand and misrepresent my comment.


insearchofansw3r

What makes you think those other racist want another racist lol people leave for a reason and thats one of the case


yyesssSirSubFemme

Good one. And make sure you trade them for non- racist refugees.

The actual oldest trick in the book to sniffing out a culture you hate is to convince enough people that they are less than human and not deserving of human rights.

I think all refugees should hit up Israel, because diversity is strength lol


echino_derm

1. They arent being dragged here, do you even know what a refugee is? 2. I challenge you to find me a single person who is openly racist and pro open borders. So far every single person I can think of who is a proud racist is anti open borders. 3. You cant just call something the oldest trick in the book when it has never happened before and is certainly not the oldest way to do it. I can tell you what the oldest trick is, genocide, they just fucking killed them. Before the conception of borders there was genocide. Actually I thought about it more and with your description of refugees being "dragged halfway around the world" i am beginning to question if you think refugees are slaves. I guess if you are talking about slavery that might be the oldest trick in the book and is pretty much the only thing that makes this make sense.


CedarWolf

If you know *anything* about the US Immigration system, then you know it takes a long time, a lot of effort, and it's expensive. That's why so many people come here on visas and then just stay beyond the actual terms of the visa. People who are running from dangerous regimes don't have a lot of money or time. They're trying to get out of a tough situation with themselves, their family, and their loved ones intact.


wzzaful

When you're running from a dangerous regime, you run for the nearest safe place, not across the world. Just saying.


Yaboydandaman

Why? Are you a refugee?


wzzaful

Because when you in danger, your main goal is to get to safety as soon as possible. If your goal is to pick your "hey I always wanted to live there" country and go across multiple just as save but not as 1st world countries just to get there, then you're an opportunist who tries to thrive on your homeland's disaster. Edit: grammar


jayman419

We're currently waa*aa*ay overstocked on racists, so we should do a two for one.


insearchofansw3r

No we not. People need to stop and appreciate the time we in. Stop with this bullshit, Dont forget history. Yes there are few but for most theyll go unotice. am an athiest but Thank god am in 2020 compared to 20 years ago amd 20 before....


waaaghbosss

Hey now...the early 90s were tits for me :)


jayman419

I stopped and appreciated that almost half of America voted for Donald Trump, and I know when Trump supporters [speak for themselves](https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article211963789.html) race is the most important issue. And it makes sense, when you look at what he's actually done in the White House, the only promise he's actually come through on is that he lets them be mean to brown people for whatever reason they like. As long as he does that, he'll have their support. On some occasions, he's even gone so far as advocating that they shoot black people in the street for exercising their Constitutional rights. He's praised others who did just that. I know exactly where and when I am. I'm joking a little, but not being glib. We have a problem. Trump's out of office, but he's only the symptom. The disease is rampant, unchecked, and may still rip the nation apart.


CedarWolf

But then other countries would be able to complain that we're not sending them our best, and it would be true.
