European kids are taught that racism is bad but not how real, systemic, subtle racism actually looks. We are taught that slavery and hitler is bad, so our bar for what is acceptable is very low.
This is also why Europeans will get offended if you point out something subtly racist they did/said. They think you’re straight-up comparing them to Hitler and the KKK.
Nice, this post is a circlejerk of Americans being racist to Europeans without even having met one in their lives probably.
“My uncle from Boston is Irish because he’s ginger and he likes whiskey. This basically makes me better specialist in the customs of country of Europe than any of people who live there”
Я думаю, поляк имел ввиду что он просто не сталкивался с расизмом в жизни, поэтому и не знал что это такое
Я думаю, что русскоговорящих на Лемми почти нет.
Edit: it’s funny how in a thread about racism, people are massively downvoting comments in a language other than English: D
Que raro, el otro comentario está en otro lenguaje también y no tiene ese problema. Será que es la asociación con ese lenguaje debido ha eventos corrientes que es el problema con el estigma del lenguaje?
otro lenguaje
Which one? You mean the Ukrainian response that got four downvotes?
Stigmatising a language, which is frequently one of crucial elements of people’s identity, is pretty fucking racist.
Ist das wirklich lustig, auf eine ironische Art, oder vielleicht einfach nervig, weil es die meisten nicht lesen können?
It really is funny to me. Maybe annoying for others.
Let’s not pretend Google Translate isn’t a couple of taps away.

Which only makes it weirder that the person writing didn’t do that themselves, but instead wanted everyone else to waste their time.
Europeans when asked about the Romani
Europeans don’t actually talk about Romani all that much. The whole situation is still a big problem, the discrimination is real, a lot of people have old uninspected misconceptions, there are people who have active hate in their heart, but it’s not a topic on anyone’s mind. It’s a small minority (~2% of population) that, ironically, lives in pretty compact communities predominately in south-eastern parts of Europe, and it’s just not a thought that crosses most people’s minds.
The actual racism that exists in Europe is mainly comes against refugees from muslim countries, not Romani, you need to update your mental hatemap.There is also a lot of gaslighting about racism in Europe. “We don’t see color,” type shit
Racism in Europe isn’t based on skin colour, it’s based on older, more weird stereotypes and history. There is no direct “white skin - not white skin” axis that US is known for, so technically we don’t see colours, we see light reflecting properties unachievable for an American
Are you white? And if so, have you ever asked non-white people if they feel they get treated with prejudice or discrimination because of the color of their skin?
Yall like to say America is so different yet you also forget, America as a nation was founded through colonization BY EUROPEANS. We learned our racism from europeans because we were europeans.
I am very white, yes, I am from a different group that is discriminated against, and yes, I have enough friends and acquaintances with not a white skin to compare. European racism is more subtle and not as one-dimensional as that meme from that cartoon, you know what I’m talking about. I know it’s hard for an American brain to comprehend this idea (see, this is only one of the ways to demonstrate the European racism).
Colonisation of America ended hundreds of years ago and has nothing to do with all of that. All the problems both continents have right now developed independently
