You're describing American racism, and rightfully so, because wypipo is also an American reference to the privileged white American stereotype.

I'm not American, which is why I question the need for all these distinctions in the simple concept of hating everyone outside your own tribe.

This is a rhetiricical question though. You need these words because you're all American, and a majority of you hate everyone outside your own tribe.

    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.

    Dude, 2020s America is one step removed from gas chambers.

    I agree. Can you point me to the country with a white European ruling class that makes up half the population, that is less racist to the other half of the population with brown skin, a huge fraction of which are black skinned?

    I'm not trying to excuse America. I'm saying the rest of white Europe only keeps their teeth behind their lips when everyone else is safely caged away. And that this is a problem with not just white Europe, but with almost all modern nations because they follow the same clericalist horseshit that elevates an amoral framework over the feeling people who actually exist.

    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.
