Is direct racism outside the U.S. legal?

Question

First off, some aspects of racism can be very indirect in the U.S.--and sometimes direct. When I say indirect, I'm referring to institutionalized racism within the U.S. In some other countries, if they don't like you or refuse you for a position or seat at restaurant or schooling, they tell you up front. They don't have you go through a process and then you get crapped on--they waste no time. That is what I mean by direct. Do their laws do anything about this? It almost sounds to me like the law does not enforce law on the maltreatment. Some example, parts of Latin America, Europe, this can happen anywhere outside the U.S.--and even inside the U.S.-- even though we have laws--but theres still some shadiness behind it.

Answer 1

Your question doesn't make any sense.You can go up to a White person an call them white-trash or a cracker, & you will not be charged with hate speech.

Answer 2

This question is not easy to answer. All I know is that right wing extremists (****sts) can be allowed to stage their marches side by side with left wingers who normally protest against them. As I've understood it, this is allowed in the name of democracy. In Africa we have mostly tribal power feuds and wars which have been common eversince several tribes have had to live and be governed within the same boundaries. Racism on the streets, workplaces or social places will not be allowed but we have undercover tribal wars (which can be seen as a kind of racism is) that are launched away from the majority of the people i.e. guerilla type).

Answer 3

I can give an answer about my country.

In Italy discrimination for racial, ethnical, sexual reasons is a crime.
AND THIS is true not only for an employer or services, but ALSO for activity by private citizen: eg in renting an house, the landlord is free to choice his counterpart , but he can not refuse for racial reasons (I admit that problems of evidence could arise).
This will represent a criminal offense and the offender can be prosecuted.

And you can also begin a civil suit.

It s also a crime to spawn racist theories and to push other peoples to commit discrimination. It is highly debated how and whether this latter crime clashes with free speech right and a similar ban can effectively fight racist ideas

Answer 4

The USA has no say over the laws of any foreign country.

There is rascism directed against Jews all over Europe, and these are countires that routinely bash the US over racial matters.

Most of the World indulges in racist bahavior to some extent.

Answer 5

Depends on the country. A lot of countries are so little diversed, that when you insult someone, you also end up insulting probably one of your own family members or even yourself.

Answer 6

In many places, yes. Also, in many places it's effectively legal due to lack of enforcement, despite official policy or laws against it. For more details it would be necessary to know what specific area you were looking at.

Answer 7

Depends on the country.

Answer 8

In other countries the word RACIST don't even exist, anyways the U.S. can not pass laws that will have efffect in other contries.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Racism is not a law. It is an attitude. Acts steming from racism may be illegal.
