But not all ethnicities have been subject to the same levels of discrimination, oppression, slavery...
If you're talking about sheer numbers then the highly populated countries like the USA will produce high numbers of sufferers and being english speaking it's easier for the information to get to us.
Some countries suffer very little racism simply because they don't allow other races in.
Some small countries have severe racism but the numbers are low due to the low population.
What I'm trying to say is racism is a global problem

I lied second and last post
Saw this today and to be quite honest I wasn't going to post but
For all the peaceful protesters upset about being lumped in with the rioters, looters and lawbreakers.......
Its like all the great police officers getting lumped in with the few bad ones, isn't it?
and a quote from me
You cant stereotype members of the public but you can stereotype all police officers!
Laters...

'Some countries suffer very little racism simply because they don't allow other races in.'

Why would anyone want to come here we're overcrowded, intolerant, expensive, dirty, polluted, housing crisis, austerity, our police force full of racists and the weather is better elsewhere?
I'm going for a little rest Mal

Hi Mal,
I didn't suggest the ' American dream ' was an equal opportunity scheme.
I gave some of the reasons I think inner city blacks are held back from being successful.
There are far more poor whites in the US and assume are held back for the same reasons.
But millions of blacks and minorities succeed to high levels despite any racism.
The levels of academic achievement of the Asian communities in the US is amazing despite any racism.
I think racism is often used as an excuse for failure and lack of ambition.
On the vid I mentioned, he spoke of several polls taken of young blacks who were asked if they thought racism affected their lives and the majority of them said no by a ratio of 60- 40.
Disaffected young blacks with no education or jobs were asked the same question and said no by a ratio of 70-30.
This issue is far more complex to be solely attributed to systemic racism.
