I'm often ashamed of America when these kinds of things happen but we're hardly the most racist first world country. Japan and Korea are so homogeneous that if you went there as a black person you'd be like a novelty. Even white people are kind of a curiosity since the population is so homogeneous. Is it racism? Pretty much but there are like no minorities to speak of in much of Asia. The Japanese are racist against Koreans and most of us here can't even tell them apart. And Europe, shit, they have anti immigrant rallies against Turks and Pakistanis. There's no group in America big enough and racist enough to hold a legitimate rally unless you count the Tea Party and they seem more preoccupied with different stupid shit for the most part. We have a lot to work on in America but we're hardly the worst. Our media is so inclusive it's an issue if something doesn't have a few brown people in it. The biggest problem is most white people here want to ignore racism like we solved that in the sixties. It's a problem, one a lot of people want to ignore but don't say we're uniquely awful because we do a whole lot better than other nations who have a much less diverse population.
