I can tell you that I rarely encounter racism here in my hometown or in my travels. Sure it's there, just not anywhere near as bad as the media exaggerate it to be. The real caste system is based on money here. Don't believe what the media says, racism is nowhere near that bad. The United States is a wonderful place to visit, the people are overwhelmingly friendly, curious about you, and genuinely giving here. There are many, many beautiful places to see. Too many to name here.

Interestingly when I visit Mexico, racism is right out in the open. Its origins date back to when Europeans settled MX and established a caste system based on skin color. The lighter colored European born people are at the top. Those born in MX to European parents are next. Mixed blood mestizos (European + Indigenous Native Mexicans) follow, and Indigenous Native Mexicans are considered last. Mexican people (including religious clergy) will tell you this openly without regard to insult at all. But it's still racism nonetheless. Here in the United States, people will speak in hushed tones about the topic. So you have a noticeable contrast.

@PatKirby If Spanish caused the caste system , they should reduce it through their religious teaching .
If it is related to politics , then the divisions should reduce .
Politicians won't do it because they thrive on division ,
and maybe spanish thrived on division as well .

Only purity exist in countries like sweden or finland . No other races or castes are there .

But it do not work for big countries , there only giving legally equal status , or religious equality can reduce their differences .
[image deleted]@PatKirby I think with things like the WEF , their agenda basically for world control, Questionable elections, the (IMO) abuse of the issue of climate change by many in power to use it as a tool for other agendas , it’s not surprising people are up in arms.
Might want to be mindful of the upheaval there. Just saying.
