Not saying that racism in the US is justified but can we please give the US some slack?

Uh, no. The idea here is to put the same kind of pressure on the UK to drop its state-sponsored xenophobia, not to cut anyone slack for this.

Look at most news today, what is the US known for? Karens? Most point to the US and laugh, most of its people are racist right? We're all white supremacists, right? That's the point, the US has become a laughing stock and scapegoat for the rest of the world. Of course, some are justified though, the fact the government building was not well defended and a bunch of people was able to get in is very laughable.

I don't think you read the title though, it states that I am not justifying racism or any form of prejudice. This meme was simply based on a photo I found showing cities and towns where most Muslims in the UK live, and towns and cities where a lot of rape has happened, the person who created the image tried to overlap where Muslim immigrants lived and rape, so yeah, correlation ain't causation.

Phobia is an unrealistic fear. People losing their heads for expressing their freedoms is very justified. Your thoughtless inability to discriminate outside of "white people bad because they have institutional power" is so showing. Surely you should replace what you think is ill with something preferable, not everything else.

Must be webster adding their liberal spin lol notice nothing about intolerance here.

SKULLFORD, READ YOUR OWN SHIT

Phobia has ALWAYS meant an aversion to something.

Did I say aversion or intolerance in my post? Who can't read lol

There is infinite space between those two words.

I would like to avoid getting my head cut off so I guess thats decapaphobia. You got me there! Xenophobia is generic and does not apply to most Americans, but Islamophobia would. I guess I've learned something today :)

Racism is hating people for their race.

Not wanting certain cultures to proliferate is not racism. Latinos are very compatible with the American ideals, we would just prefer they came here legally and we don't need to invite the world.

If all the people come here who the hell is going to fix the countries the people are coming from and why would they want to come here if the country wasn't great?

Legal immigration reform keeps getting held up BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

So WE KNOW it's nothing to do with legalism - you just don't like immigrants.

I'm staying out of this argument but I should let you know that I am NOT on Bradford's side, my post simply states that there are other racist countries against immigration too. The USA is not alone in this.

The fewer the better. Ideally it should be zero, but no country should be trying to excuse themselves for slow progress just because progress is slow in other countries too.

So you are more morally superior because you consider other countries racism. Its like a high horse measuring contest with you dorks.

What needs to be reformed? People can come here legally. We let a million people here a year legally. I have no problem with that.

Also I'm not a politician so I don't really so anything lol

Maybe if people like you with your bleeding hearts didn't want open borders and people on the other side would stop hiring illegal labor something might improve.

Republicans AND Democrats TOGETHER were ready to support a bill of reforms that EVERYONE AGREED NEEDED TO BE MADE and it was YOUR faction that blocked it.

Not the two parties. Not one party. Just the anti-immigration faction that the Speaker of the House happened to represent at the time.
