Ask your coworkers how they feel when they go out and about in BFE Midwest sometime. I'm sure they'll be like "everyone just LOVES me!!"
Nope. Guarantee they're dealing with racism daily. Sorry your barometer is as narrow as your coworkers, I tend to extend my dataset a little wider.
They asked a bunch of people two questions and decided based on whether they gave racist answers. Not exactly a solid study.
Incarceration percentage by race, income equality by race, education by race, there's a lot of WAYYYY better and very measurable parameters to determine a racist country.
Although I've been to India and will say those folks are also racist as fuck.

I don't hear language as crass as yours in my daily life, either.
I'll concede, I'm not on Vital to talk politics or race...you can have this one. I'm done engaging on this topic.
I don't think you know as much as you think you do...if Cambodia is your example of a country that is less racist that America.
America has its issues, and there are racists here, but they are the vast minority of people...but at least in America ALL people-regardless of race-can own property, vote, have free speech, can own guns, ect. ect. ect. That isn't the case in many 3rd world countries around the world. The racism here is a fraction of what others experience in 3rd world countries...
Point being, from a person to person perspective...you have to be a pretty white and sheltered individual to not be privy to the absolute ridiculous amounts of racism there is in America. If you haven't seen it, good for you...but it's rampant and everywhere. I'm white af, and I witness racism of colleagues and friends weekly if not daily.

Never take heed from a man who is not true to his words!
If you'd like to discuss Pulp MX podcasts or Webb being a prick stain, we're doing plenty of that in other threads.
Hmm.
You're both wrong.
It's just not nearly as binary as you tried to make it with your last sentence from the first post, "Next time you want to keep up with the “hillbilly Neanderthal” sport nonsense, remember SLC.".
Because what you did was object to the "people are awful" comments from the media by countering it with "people are not awful", when in reality, neither are true. Two sides of the same coin, both painting a bogus picture.
There's nearly 1% of the population in jail and there are waaaaaaaay more awful people than just those in jail, so clearly I'd have to disagree with where you draw the line.
It's good to be optimistic, just not hippie-spinning-in-circles optimistic.

We should be judged on the merit of our achievement and that’s what happened!
We have a way to go, but I agree that that cheer is a positive indication.
Go get a win Malcom, I’ll be happier than a pig in shit!
I was walking my dog when our small town cop was driving by stopped to talk to me. I've never had any interaction with him other than waving when he drives by my house. He asks me if I've noticed anybody strange walking around. There's been what I think to be a middle aged mentally handicapped guy walk by my house a few times, talking to himself and asking innocent questions, so I say, "Strange how?". He (word for word) says,"You know, someone who (sneers this part) doesn't belooooooong." I look confused for a few seconds and he continues, "You know, black guy. Tank top, tattoos. He's been seen walking around town talking to himself." I said I hadn't seen him, thanked him for stopping to talk, and kept walking my dog. Once again, I believe every situation is unique and shouldn't be covered under "all cops are bad" or the "thin blue line" way of thinking, but a guy can't just walk while black without getting the cops called on him? I'm finding it hard to see it a different way.
Congrats on the podium Malcolm!
That was bullshit
They have things like mid-block crosswalks that you have to stop for, despite stop light cross walks being less than 100 yards in either direction.
Traffic too bad on a four lane? What should we do? Oh, I know, lets make two lanes bike lanes and then everyone should go back to the highway, right?
When I was in car sales there, I had people decide what car to buy based off a goddamn divining stone.
I guess more than anything it's just not for me. But as a white dude in his thirties who feels animosity there as a working class guy, I can only imagine how it feels to be a black man. The whole town reeks of a superiority complex, and due to laws, none of the surrounding communities can expand to within a seven mile bubble surrounding Boulder, ensuring that the people who live there can continue to feel superior with their ridiculously over priced community.

Dehumanizing people who are different seems to be pervasive. Happens on Vital all the time. Happens in the US, England, Japan …….
Eventually, (think centuries) well all be one skin tone, or maybe free to alter appearance at will via biotech, and we’ll find new, fascinating ways to marginalize each other.
