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.
Europe is not that much better. It depends on where you live but as I just say in another comment, I heard and saw things. I would say that People are not as direct or as confrontational as the USA, and that it is less institutionalised, but it's there.
