Racism in the United States is astonishing. As a non-American, until Obama’s time, I used to think that, there was just some institutional racism left over from past decades and a few extremists in the South—but not much else. After Obama, it’s incredible how most white people have become extremely right-wing extremists, all because of a single president of mixed descent. Now, the problem seems enormous, and a solution doesn’t appear to be anywhere in sight.
We were racist long before Obama.
Racism is just tribalism evolved.
This is reductive.

And what country are you from where racism is not an issue?

No really, where, because a non-racist place to live sounds fantastic, especially nowadays.

You somehow failed to understand their comment. They very clearly write that they thought it wasn’t this bad until Obama became president and they (the person you replied to) learned just how bad it actually is. And a lot of countries are way less racist than the US. They aren’t saying there is no racism where they live, which again is weird how you don’t seem to understand.

So both things you said are fully because you failed to read something that shouldn’t be possible to misunderstand because of how clearly they are written.
