In WW2 there were several riots in the UK after American troops tried to enforce racial segregation on British pubs, with a few pubs responding by putting out ‘no white US troops’ signs.

Things got so bad the US military had to make training videos specifically warning troops that people were not as racist in the UK as they were the States.

Amerikkkans also demanded that German POW camps be segregated, and when the Germans refused, they complained to the Red Cross. When even the fucking Nazis weren't being racist enough for them.
