usa is very racist
Lostpoet · M
@MartinTheFirst How many minorities do you have in Sweden?
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Lostpoet 🤷‍♀️
Lostpoet · M
@MartinTheFirst Not many it's race relations are harder when you are living and working next to one another.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Lostpoet I don't find it hard at all.
@MartinTheFirst I get the same feeling /they still see races and not people and when you comment that is where their thoughts go immediately
Lostpoet · M
@MartinTheFirst That's because most people there have always been swedish so there wouldn't be much race related aggressions. I don't think the US is very racist given the size of our country and all the
Culture differences.

@Lostpoet "It's not racist because there's history behind the racism" is not a very strong argument

@MartinTheFirst it's not my argument my argument is that we are so diverse and close to one another that racial tension is bound to happen. I live in Utah so it's not nearly as bad because the LDS population is like 60% but I can understand racism in states like Arkansas where it's 50 50

@Lostpoet If you're diverse and close to one another then racial tension should be less prone to happen though.
Lostpoet · M
@MartinTheFirst That's true I guess. But I don't think racism is as dramatic here as you probably see on tv.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Lostpoet I don't watch TV
Lostpoet · M
@MartinTheFirst then it's not as bad as what you read online.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Lostpoet It's not as bad as the people I meet online?

Stop mansplaining me poet, I'm not retarded.
Lostpoet · M
@MartinTheFirst But the people you meet are just a small portion of the general population.

@Lostpoet sure, from my very limited experience, alike the experience of any other person that has ever lived, I make my conclusions...
