it's honestly amazing how quick a lib will start to call for death camps when homelessness is mentioned. is it different in Europe? serious question, does the presence of some kind of real social safety net mean that people are less bloodthirsty to their neighbors just for being poor?
Europeans will pretend racism is an American phenomenon, despite the roots of it coming from Europe, until you start talking about Roma at which point they become as racist as a klansman.
I think it is that racism is so baked into American society that it is hard to miss I mean a nearby country club, which cannot be turned into public housing fast enough, had to be sued to let in Irish Catholics in the 1980s so it is harder to deny here. As aresult more Americans are aware of their racism than Europeans.
