You're very blatantly underestimating the extent of European racism just because it shows itself less towards black people specifically.

[–] Tja@programming.dev -5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It shows itself versus everyone specifically. There is no group of people persecuted based on their race by politicians, law enforcement, media and half the population like back people are in the US. Or brown Muslims in the US. Or transgender people in the US. Maybe in Poland, this last one, but i don't think so.

In Europe roma people are discriminated against in a worse way

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any specific examples of laws or initiatives or just the hurt durr Roma poor that was inherited from reddit?

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are no laws, but for example in Hungary romas are segregated in countryside schools

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, that's kind of my point. If the worst thing is what some villages in the most hostile country are doing, shows that there is no systemic/institutional racism to the extent of the US.

Oh wait Romania is worse

Also look at North Macedonia

[–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 1 week ago

I looked at it. It's north of Greece.

That's just strictly wrong. Never ask a European about the romani

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's just strictly wrong, a a dead horse inherited from reddit, probably even older.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a joke on reddit because every time they say it a European comes out of the wood works to prove the joke true.

And you extrapolate that to an entire continent. Good job.
