You've definitely never been to this country.

I couldn't believe what an absolute dweeb comment this was so I had to check your post history 90% is just pissing and raging about America. You better be paid to spread this divisiveness cause otherwise you're one pathetic bastard.

And yes I am white. What country are you from?

    No the U.S. is still very much racist. Are you only thinking about like Seattle or something? And conveniently forgetting about not just the rural south, but rural north as well?? Michigan, especially the U.P., Wisconsin, and Indiana are pretty racist.

    The major cities in each state are more liberal of course, but the rural folk usually aren't. How can Wisconsin be a swing state when only like 4 counties vote Democrat lol. Yeah yeah "land doesn't vote" but that's their "territory". Your car breaks down anywhere you have to call them. If anything happens you're at their mercy.

    I giggled at how is response was denial

    The fact that I challenged his views meant that he had to create a scenario where I was lying about spending time in the US

    I have been over there six times in the last eighteen months alone. When I'm there I'm living like a local, not staying in hotels in the big cities

    This guy is white, but seems to be the type of white guy who refuses to acknowledge that he enjoys inherent privilege merely because he is a white male

    Notice this guy didn't answer where he's from?

    Because he knows his country has a way more disgusting and open problem with racism. Thinking me being white legitimizes my opinion is clear you just know American media and have never been here.

    So you're saying the rural part where the smaller populations reside is racist. While the majority of the population isn't racist?

    Yeah. That's what I'm saying too.

    I've lived on both coasts and in the south in one of the most "racist" states.

    It's bullshit. The super hick South people you're thinking of genuinely hate the KKK and white supremacists. They're defensive about what they see as their culture -- owning guns, having their stupid flag.

    The biggest racist thing in America is racial profiling which isn't a white-only thing. It's a cultural thing. And if you think other countries don't racially profile it's probably because they don't have the population diversity to do so.
