Out of curiosity, have you lived abroad? And where?

I have! I probably have lived about 1.5 years in China. Never longer than 6 months at a time. I sincerely and euphemistically learned a lot.

Cool! Anyway I think you're half right. It depends 1) from where you move 2) to where 3) your temperament/values.

E.g. moving from USA to Germany might lead to the opposite effect if you're egalitarian.

Good point. I was too broad. I meant that complaining about racism in the United States is like complaining about the education at Harvard.

Could it be better? Yes. Should it? Yes. But, if you go almost anywhere else, it's worse.

True, contrast gives perspective. Also, many other countries are (or try to be) decidedly single ethnic. Then racism doesn't show (mostly).

If we're going to discuss racism, we better define it. Single ethnic countries probably on average more racist but with fewer racist acts.
