Most countries don't divide people by race. Even in multi-racial countries.

Why do we refer to a segment of our population this way?


Because it replaced less savory terms like "negro," "colored," etc., at a time when folks wanted to be able to trace their roots to somewhere specific (difficult to so with the slave trade of course).

Look up the etymology of the term.

I've been to several. Ask an Egyptian what race they are. They won't even know what you're talking about.

Ummmm.....most countries have a racist history FAR worse than the USA, bruh. Like, not even close.

And very few of them did as abrupt a 180 on race relations as this country did.

Another white kid trying to save a race; but systematically keeping other races down with what he thinks is right and his ideology.

Ask a Kuwaiti what race they are. They won't even know what you're talking about.

Then ask them the proper place for a person in their country who is not a Kuwaiti.

The exact same applies in Egypt. And most middle eastern countries.

I'm not even going to ouch a good portion of the asian countries.

The Mongolians had very little racial problems cause they just killed all the other races they rode up on.

Nothing is wrong with black. It's a description based on factual skin color.

None of those enslaved a race for 400 years. You have to go back to Moses for that.

I guess that it's hard to classify one pain as worse than another, but none of those countries aside from South Africa systematically and legally enforced racial discrimination for decades.
