      Nah, not just to the US. We do have problems with emboldened neonazis in Europe, too. While not to the extend you might experience in the US, I wouldn’t want to be black or southern/eastern mediterranean here either.

          And in the US it wasn’t? Set aside how non-whites were treated and exploited as cheap labor, how were asians treated during and after WWII, Korea, Vietnam? How are latin americans treated? How are middle eastern people treated since 9/11?

          Don’t make the mistake believing this is new. It’s just getting turned up to eleven.

              This is not supposed to be a blame game or a pissing contest. That both Europe and the US have a track record of xenophobia and racism is exactly my point.

                mine as well. that’s what I meant with that. it’s always been there, even in Europe, being the ‘region’ in my previous comment.
