Why is race such a big topic in America?

[Lazlo1]

Our race is something that we had literally no control over so why is it such a big deal in America? Other western countries look at how big of a deal it is in the States and laugh.


In for answers from ameribrahs

White guilt ridden leftists who must constantly prove to others and themselves that they are not racists.

Because equal rights for all races is still a relatively recent thing in the U.S.

[FeFocus]

Because we're so politically correct that non-issues become huge issues.


I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, but often people inflame dumb stuff. I was scolded for describing a man as 'black' the other day. F*ck off...

[YIAMSOMEBODY]

Probably because it's still relevant. It's not as open as it was back in the day, but to deny it's here, that would be stupid.

Well, the only people really talking about race in America are the left. They have an unhealthy obsession.

Wouldnt it be easier to just pretend it doesnt/didnt exist?

[makimakiBB]

[Lpenny]

Why do other countries give a phuk about what goes on in the states?

[Drufeus]

seems like race and religion are a big issue over the world

[LI0NBRAH]

I am indian and let me tell you, being indian is actually a great thing. we have beautiful people and we have ugly people. just like any race. I for 1 am a great person, have great friends, and i take care of every one that is in my life and i am glad to do it, and for that i have people that love me around me. also, indian parents are one of the best parents you can have. sometimes they can be really strict, but they will take care of you no matter what, and they will buy you what ever it is that you need. as long as your not a selfish ****head. Also, we all have great jobs, lots of money and a family that we all love and take care off. suck my dick op suck my dick.

lol it's what we do in other countries and things seem just fine. Feels like the more you talk about it, the worse it is. In Canada, we just sit down over some Tim Horton's and Hockey Night in Canada and just pretend like it never happened srs. Sure, there are still some racists here and there but it would be even worse if it was a constant topic of discussion in the media here.

Because America has a ton of every race of people in it. You will not find such ethnic diversity in any other country in the world. You mix all those people together with their different religions and ways and there is bound to be an issue.

In an NHL game in London, a black player had banana peels thrown at him.

But Europe is so much more "enlightened".

not the one i was at

[elperfecto]

Numerous reasons OP.

Some blacks want to take advantage of their great grandparents misfortunes, and they want a piece of the pity pie. Instead of taking some personal responsibility, they choose to attack the white man and say we must take care of them financially.

Black Panther Party. These guys are the epitome of racist clowns.

When immigrants (particularly of the illegal persuasion coming from our neighbors down south) hear that we are "land of the free", to them that means they get free stuff.

There is a clear political divide among the races. The democrats essentially bribing minorities for votes is the root cause of this problem.

So many other reasons.

[elperfecto]

Oh, not to mention terrorism. There is a section of this world that hates us for just being American. Nothing we can do about it except deal with the reality of cowards breathing the same air we do.
