NeoShadowhen 07/04/20 9:24:33 AM #21:	Its more apparent in the US, primarily due to having a relatively diverse population combined with multiple avenues of financial incentive to promulgate both individual incidents of racism as well as racist ideals as a whole. Typically when people are asked to point out areas that are less racist, it always comes down to, well, how would you even know if people are racist there. Its a terribly difficult thing to truly measure, and the best thing to truly say is that the racism in the US is the most visible. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:941657284] in Why are so...
