Things that are so obvious and ingrained that no one even thinks about them.

Here’s a few:

All US americans can go to Mexico EASILY. You’re supposed to have a passport but you don’t even need one (for car/foot crossing). Versus, it’s really hard for Mexicans, who aren’t wealthy, to secure a VISA to enter the US. I’m sure there are corollaries in other geo-regions.

Another one is wealthy countries having access to vaccines far ahead of “poor” countries.

In US, we might pay lip service to equal child-hood education but most of the funding pulls from local taxes so some kids might receive ~$10000 in spending while another receives $2000. I’m not looking it up at the moment, but I’m SURE there are strong racial stratas.

I'm talking about libs and neocons Americans gleefully sharing combat footage of Russians and Ukrainians fighting, with Russians often on the receiving end of molotovs, bombs, javelins and shit; I personally find war footage disgusting and abhorrent and war is often fought between working class people brainwashed or conscripted into fighting wars on the behalf of oligarchs. . The way major companies pulled out of Russia and refused to service russian citizens, without actually being prompted by the United States. The way that every single company - even ones with zero connection or influence were like "we stand with ukranians in this trying time".

Compare that to today and Palestinians.
