I mean yeah thats a good indication, but thinking about it, many asian countries also have this same feeling. So is it a westernized thought process or just "people are stupid as fuck" problem. I lean on the latter.
It's a racism problem, which one might argue is people being stupid as fuck.
It's a capitalist problem. As long as the billionaire class keeps us fighting a culture war amongst ourselves, we won't realize that the actual war is a class war against them.
There are only two classes. The billionaires and the rest of us (that they call "labour"). If you can convince the labour class that they are divided by race, religion, etc.. they'll be too busy blaming each other to come burn down your mansion.
