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.

Precisely

So next question, what do you want to decrease, racist _beliefs_ or _acts_.

Can't answer without a definition. How do you define racism/racist?

attributing or assuming personality traits to/bc of race. a special case of stereotyping. what's your definition?
