It is a hybrid nation comprising off-spring of people mostly from Europe who were trading human beings in the most cruel way from Africa. By Industrial Revolution they have developed into a rich country with out values. Human Rights and its advocacy is a mere hypocrisy which is exposed in its conduct in Iraq, Vietnam and else where in the world.
They now suffer from insecurity that they would be outnumbered by new settlers. They have to develop genuine human values to stand up to the New challenges.

It not a racist land because of todays generation more inspite of it . Its because of its history and past that older generations view the following Extermination of Indians Well they were not Christian .Slavery Wasn't our fault . Jim Crow ,Worlds largest conspiracy theory . Older generations never look at its past as wrong at all ! The past is what makes you the present ! And also I will say that different lands have different history with people and America is much much more racist for a Black man than an Asian man or Latino man .On the flp side England treats White Americans just like the USA treats black people ! Yes kid you not ! Black Men in England have a higher rate of intermarriage than any minority group in the states ! Austrialia also has a race problem but it is largely affects aboriginals not Blacks who visit or live there from the states . They get treated better in Australia than in America . South African Apartheid was aimed at natives Black Americans were exempt from it during that era ! Yes I kid you not ! So there you have it !

Not all Americans are racist

Americans are born and lead to believe they and their country is the best country on Earth. White Americans hate everyone that is non white even while pretending to tolerate or like other races, deep down they are bigots. Other ethnic groups in America are also racist because they are exposed to the racist programming of American society. I saw a cop pull over an Asian lady with three kids and saw his hand on his pistol while telling her she was pulled over. What the **** is this Asian lady with three small children going to do to him? If he pulled over a white lady he would not have his hand on his gun, but I thought it was pretty ****** up that he had his hand on his pistol while pulling over an unarmed Asian woman, I would think if that was a black male he would definitely look for any little excuse to arrest him.
The thing about racism in America is that people are politically correct, they do not tell you what they really feel and hide their bigotry, in the old days white Americans were racist but were not shy about telling you to your face. Now because of lawsuits and the fact that America is more diverse(despite the diversity this country remains as racially divided as it ever was before) people really do not tell you how they feel for fear of retaliation, so very few people in America are open about their racism but in certain situations they will treat you like garbage because you are a different color, race, or religion than they, someone told me racism in America is under control, what a crock, the people just keep their racist views to themselves, but deep down America is a very racist country.

I am an "American", as are people from Canada and Mexico, not to mention South and Central America. I am not racist, yet I do realize it is a serious problem here in the US. Still, you make an amazing generalisation in your question by labeling all of us as racists.
In your travels you have obviously missed nations such as Turkey, England, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Italy and Germany. Actually that is quite a list to have missed for one who has travelled to many parts of the world. Every nation mentioned in that list has had major issues with racism and especially racism aimed at immigrants. Perhaps you are only referring to acts against a particular race. If so, then that my friend is also a form of racism.
Oh, and Fozzie...other countries do indeed ahve our problems. Western Europe and England are struggling with immigration and illegal entry from most of Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia. Turkey is struggling with many issues with those of Kurdish descent. In fact we, in many ways, have it much easier. Thus far we have avoided the violence many of these countries have seen.

I hope you realize that not ALL Americans are the way you are describing. From what I've seen, every country and every nationality have people who DO fit that description, but you can't really generalize like that. Not everybody fits into that mold. Could it be that since you were "looking" for racist people, you ignored the ones who aren't? I guess that would make YOU a bit of a racist, too, huh?

"every country in the world has "illegals" and they are kind to these people and and understand that we are all humans nand have the same needs!"
No, they do not! Africans who are trying to enter Spain illegally, and are caught, are held in containment camps.
A major issue is illegal immigration from Africa across the Mediterranean Sea, especially via the Strait of Gibraltar, where thousands of people die every year in attempts to reach Europe. There have been suggestions about establishing immigrant centres in Morocco, or elsewhere in northern Africa, to give information and protect the people risking their lives to reach Europe. Southern Spain is a major region of entry for illegal immigrants. It is estimated that about a million illegal immigrants from Africa live and work illegally in this area.
The European Union is developing a common system for immigration and asylum and a single external border control strategy.
In France, helping an illegal immigrant (providing shelter, for example) is prohibited by a law passed on December 27, 1994 under the cohabitation between socialist President François Mitterrand and right-wing Premier ministre Edouard Balladur. The law was heavily criticized by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the CIMADE or the GISTI, left-wing political parties such as the Greens or the French Communist Party, and trade-unions such as the magistrates' Syndicat de la magistrature, who alleged that this brought France to the dark periods of Vichy France during World War II.
In October 2005, dozens of Subsaharian emigrants died trying to bypass the Spanish enclaves of Melilla and Ceuta. Morocco's authorities decided to expel all of them, leaving hundreds stranded in the desert near Oujda (border with a zone of Algeria loaded with landmines) and south of Morocco, without water or food. This raised a public uproar in Europe, although Morocco legitimately pledged that Europe's 1985 Schengen Agreement compelled it to provide Morocco with funding to cope with the emigration influx.
Once in July 2004 and a second time in May 2006, Hellenic Coast Guard ships were caught on film cruising as near as a few hundred meters off the Turkish coast and abandoning clandestine immigrants to the sea. This practice resulted in the drowning of six people between Chios and Karaburun on 26 September 2006 while three others disappeared and 31 could be saved by Turkish gendarmes and fishermen, the whole series of incidents added further strains on Greco-Turkish relations.

Racism has been a problem for a long time in america. Therefore everyone has experience built up.
Americans are good at what they do.
true we all have the same needs, but do we really need a tv? nah, we just need food, water and shelter. These can be found in many places of the world. It comes down to money. protecting your wallet is a huge motivation everywhere.
by they way, racism is not limited to "illegals", and not all people against "illegal" immigration are racist.

I hope you're not judging Americans from the idiots that sit on YA and spew vicious rants about immigrants here. The fact is that a far larger percentage of Americans have internet service than any other country, so there is a lot of trash out there clacking away at their keyboards. I have also lived in a few different countries, as a foreigner, and I think that in general, Americans are more accepting and welcoming of immigrants than in many countries. We have a lot of faults, LOTS of them, but I don't think that this is one of them.

we were all created equal and with the same stuff. nobody is above anyone and nobody is a better person just because they have better stuff. As far as racism goes its pointless. if u heard the Seinfeld guy said the n word on national TV to a black person u think racism is stupid. I'm black with white and any other race of friends so y cant we all get a long and except that just because someone comes from somewhere else that doesn't mean u have to treat them different. Besides we're all gods children so y do we fight each other.
