Does you think Martians are racialist?

Lets see. Japan. You cannot even be a Japanese citizen last I heard unless you were of native Japanese stock. Japanese from what I understand have no love lost for Koreans, Chinese and so on.
China - Thousands of Chinese born citizens were killed or run out of the country for having Vietmese blood in them. I think we are VERY tolerant compared to China.
Rwanda - Millions die because of a slight ethnic variation.
Uganda - Whites and Indians were forced to leave nation. Non-Blacks are not welcome at all.
Somolia - If you are not Black you are not welcome there.
Sudan - Arabs form upper caste. Black islamics tolerated. Black Christians are victem of mass genocide. Being White or Asian would probably just mean a quicker death if you tried to move there.
Viet Nam - Hmm no non-Asians living there far as I know. Maybe a couple runaway Nam vets. However children produced from American soldiers during the war recieve extreme racial prejudice. That's people that are at least half Vietmese.
Zimbabwe - Being White can get you killed in this nation. Gov sanctioned theft of property is rampent. Racism is publicly promoted by Gov.
Cameroom - No Whites there. No Asians, no Indians.
Greece has a Black population of what? Hmm Asians? Indians?
Bangladesh, Iran, and most of the rest of the world.
Most nations do not have to face this question much less answer it. Some because nobody in thier right mind would live there. Many though are because they are nations closed to people not of thier majority ethnic group. Extreme racial predjudice is the norm in many of these nations. Within the last 20 years there was a small war between two ethnic groups on a Pacific island. Cyprus has seen Greek vrs Turk battles many times. In Bosnia, Rwanda, Eithiopia and many other places folks were killed each other over mild ethnic variations or religion. The equivalent in the US would be for Irish and British descended Americans to have a war.
There are some exceptions but except for Western nations not many countries will allow anybody to migrate there. If they do they are often quite picky about ethnic heritage unless the imigrant is filthy rich.
Among Western nations, the UK seems to do the best at handling aculturation. Most UK minorities become British in a short time, though the UK seems to be suffering some problems as of late. France and Germany are in danger of outright hostilities between races. Italy is swamped with Armanians and is struggling with issues stemming from that. Canada seems to do fairly well. There does not seem to be a great deal of racial tension.
So I'd give the US a C+ or a B- when it came to racial harmony in comparision to the West. An A+ when compared to the world in general. A D when compared with English speaking nations.

If you want the real truth then no the USA is not even close to being bigoted as many other nations are. Most of Europe is far more predigest than the USA. Naturally they say they are not but just take a look and you see that they can't even put together the EU. French hate English, English hate french and so on and so forth. Look what was going on in Ireland for so long. Serbs and Croats don't like each other. So many problems that the USA does not have. Travel the world and you Will see that most nations are much more of a problem than the USA. The reason people get that impression is because of the media. Nearly everything that happens in the USA is broadcast all over the world. Naturally the news media will tell all the bad and very little of the good. Ignorance is the main reason for people hating each other.

No but I believe that Martians would feel you are being very racist because you choose to point them out over any other group. What about Kryptonians for crying out loud. You really think Superman doesn't think he is better than anyone else - why are you allowing the media to distort your views. Everyone knows the Skrulls and the Kree from the Marvel Comics Universe are very racist (the Kree are really terrible - those bastards).

I have lived in USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia and find the Saudi's the most racist, especially the lesser-educated ones who don't travel much. Those countries which have an open immigration policy, will probably be less racist than those which are closed. Martians are most probably very racist, since they don't travel so much.

Racism exists all around the world, in every country. Maybe more in some countries than others, but it's everywhere and I don't think the USA is worst with racism.

No. The Rwandans killed every Eruopean in their country and the Rhodesians are still murdering whites. No campaign of murder like that in the USA, yet.

Because we are in such a "melting pot" of different cultures yes there would be more racism here opposed to any other area.

You bet they are. Whenever we go there, they make us sit in the back of the space ship.
