Before I left the US, things were backsliding to the '60s.
Nooses all over the place, racist commentators, race-related massacres, and the return of Whites-only bathrooms.
Blackface performances are also making a comeback. Just ask DHS.
The racism of the justice system is being addressed, but that condition is hardly a product of modern times.

The UK has race relation problems as well. Their problems are on a bit of a different scale than American or South African race problems, so it's kind of like apples and oranges. Maybe there is a website or organization that has crunched the numbers, so perhaps the OP should consult them instead of us.

1 month in South Korea: No nooses, no gunfire, no death threats, no Aryan Brotherhood. So far so good.

Now if the question was which is more racist the US or Europe, that would be a whole different ball of wax.

How can you compare? The U.S. is significantly different in different places. New York vs. London? ALL of America vs ALL of Britain.

Britain kind of strikes me as an equivalent to say New York State. So obviously New York State would be less racist than all 50 States combined on the whole, as NY has a long history of dealing with a lot of different people, etc. So if Britain would be like New York State, then Britain would be less racist than the U.S. as a whole.

If you compared New York vs London, then who knows, maybe similar? Not sure.

I've lived in New York, and if you are white, you probably aren't going to be a racist KKK guy, cuz you'd get your ass kicked on a daily basis every single time you stepped outside of the house if you exhibited those kinds of strong emotions/feelings. When I lived in NYC, the KKK tried to come to hold a rally, they were booed and told to get out of the city by blacks and whites combined. Plus in NYC, you just find that you'll be working together and everything else all the time, particularly if you are in Manhattan. When people become co-workers and you really get to know them, its not so easy to hold a bunch of racist views.

I don't know what London is like to live and work, as I've never done it before. But I didn't see anywhere near as many African-Brits as you see African-Americans in NYC. So I'd think the exposure of living and workign together wouldn't be that high.

Then again, there are plenty of other NON-NYC cities where you have both a lot of black and white and they seem very segregated - Detroit, Atlanta, etc. It creates a more 'us' and 'them', but there are SO many exceptions.

This is one of those questions, that is really really subjective.

most of the blacks in spain probably cross through the Portugal boarder, themselves from North Africa I imagine. You are right though, they are totally removed from mainstream society: at least the chinese and indians in places like Barcelona have restaurants, tourist shops convenience stores or something or other. but you are exactly right, they dont aspire to be anything even resembling multicultural or integrated. The spanish wouldnt have it any other way i get the impression.

In Rwanda there was no racism.
The rebels would kill you if your nose too big.

The Government forces killed you if your nose was too small.

However in Lilliput we open the egg at the narrow end.
