Since January 2025, the Trump administration has ramped up immigration enforcement. A key rationale for the policy is that it will open up jobs for Americans by reducing competition from undocumented immigrants.
The rest of the world is well more racist. It’s just also more monocultural. I guarantee you that any NB country that had to deal with a sudden influx of 20% of the population as black skinned people, or 40% of the population as a different, NB race, they would handle it far worse than 2020s America.
Yes. I was describing American racism, as you said, it was the topic at hand, but we can change it to two different black skinned cultures, or two different Asian cultures, and functionally get the same result in the right country. In the right place and time you can have Han privilege or Hutu privilege.
There is no need to hate everyone outside of your own tribe, you are correct, but you didn’t come to this conclusion because you are outside of America. You came to this conclusion because you are a good person.
My main grip on this is that the sub-destinctions of racism makes it harder to deal with.
We have plenty of racism here in Scandinavia, but it’s only a knee deep trench. People are racist or they’re not. The racists hate the immigrants. They don’t care if the immigrants are black, middle eastern, asian or even white people from the town next over.
Once we start accepting the words that distinguish the out-groups, it only makes the trench deeper and more difficult to get out of, because then people can partially accept one group over the other, which maintains the overall racism.
