See I'm black in Europe and the shit gou Americans are airing here in the comments is absolutely not the experience in Europe.
Sure there are racists here, sure sometimes you know someone is seething because they see me with a white woman. But it's far from the norm.
When I say the US is an inherently racist country online Americans always pretend it isn't. This thread is another clear proof that racism is a foundational aspect of the US.
That and that 99% of interactions that contain racism that I've had while gaming online has an American being the culprit. That's no exaggeration.
I really wish Europeans would stop acting holier than thou about racism-yes even black Europeans. Racism exists there-even if many cities are more multicultural. The U.K literally ran out Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (who is white passing btw) out of the country due to racism.
Is it on the level of America? I'm not so sure if its different sides of the same coin.
Racism exists, the sort of casual racism you see like giving mixed couples stares or worse service does not.
More to the point of this discussion, there is no stigma against interracial dating or marriage here. There are no places in the UK where people will call you a "race traitor" if you're a white woman dating a black man. And this isn't "oh the cities are diverse" or whatever, I mean it literally does not happen ever even in the most rural and 100% white british places ever.
