    Hollywood did not hire people who weren’t white, unless they were black and used for a black role, and not always even then, for a very long time. Even today there are representation problems in Hollywood and in other media in general. In other words, America is racist, nice of you to notice.

      As somebody who immigrated to the US, I came to conclusion that a lot of the world is far more racist. US is just openly fighting that so it is much more visible.

        The US is probably the least racist country or at least a top contender.

        People don’t get that there’s going to be problems since we have sizable populations of people from pretty much every country

        The US openly fights racism like you said

        We’re very vocal about when the US f’d up in the past

        Our news is broadcast and talked about everywhere since many parts of the internet have a US bias

        And the US cares about trying to have a semblance of equality
