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.

    that's right it's not, because us racism and xenophobia is casual compared to european and you know it. would you like me to bring the receipts?
