  Only Americans can be racist?

    We don’t even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.

      Eh, I’ve traveled a lot, and while people in places like the US west/east coasts tend to be a lot less racist, the entire middle/south of the US are just as racist as most places in Europe and Asia. Growing up, I was sold the narrative that European countries had little to no racism, and the US is the problem. But racism is everywhere, and not just the mild racism that the US coasts get, but like, openly telling a stranger to watch out for <insert racial slur> because they are going about ruining <neighborhood/city/country/etc.> I will say that anecdotally, the US west coast is the least blatantly racist, but you can see systemic racism literally everywhere.

    Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere

      Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn’t have a progressive spouse/partner, they’d both be racist.

  As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas

    This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse though. Progressive Southern woman’s options are pretty much:

    A) Be celibate B) Move somewhere else C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive

    Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

  … maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.
