No, but only Americans bring it up into every random topic like we all share your interest in mild racism.

Better to talk about it than quietly perpetuate it, or not so quietly, I've never been called a mutt by another American but Europeans love to mock my "racial impurity"

Yet again, no one is saying don't talk about it.

And that's nice? I'm not from Europe, nor do I see what purpose your little rant against an entire continents worth of peoples is meant to achieve. Does engaging in racism somehow back-up your claims about racism?

Unfortunately it’s largely the same here down under.

First we hated the Greeks after world war 2

We love them now.

Then we hated the asians in the 80’s and 90’s

We love them now

Then we hated the Muslim in the 2000’s

We largely enjoy their company and food now.

Then we hated the Indians.

That’s still happening a lot but a large section of the population has moved on to hating the Sudanese.

Yeah, europeans' racism is so ingrained in their cultures, they dont even talk about it. Its just the way it is.

It's only Americans trying to make fucking high fives a race thing

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 17 hours ago

No one is arguing racism doesn’t exist elsewhere in the world.

Stop acting so defensive and look at what people are actually saying is the problem here.
