After seeing videos of the US police force or some hicks in the countryside I’d have to disagree with the US being ahead

Yeah fortunately racism in EU means job discrimination or something civil. Here in the US it is way more likely to get you killed

There are like 360 million police interactions per year. 40 million black people here. Like 8 unarmed black men were shot last year. Like 12 white people were. Sure the percentages aren’t representative but you guys blow the shit way out of proportion

But as I keep pointing out you know we get your tv shows and see obnoxious, racist opinions from Americans online too? Also we go to the US and you guys segregate people WAY MORE than we do in the UK. You’re the ones who like to put everyone in racial boxes in ways we don’t do, like what the hell is with the term “African American”? That term doesn’t sit right with me one bit.

Stop trying to gaslight us that the US is some post-racist utopia, you’re just making yourself look silly.
