Of course, he who has a peanut allergy garners my sympathy. But he will never garner my respect. You were not meant for this earth and you are on borrowed time
🇩🇰 Filmmaker Nikolaj Arcel is asked why his new movie "The Promised Land" lacks the diversity that the Oscars stipulate and has only Nordic cast members
Arcel: "Well first of all, the film takes place in Denmark in the 1750s."
On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 800 (overwhelmingly “white heterosexual”) men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went over the top.

america is one of very few countries that has even tried to build a multiethnic democracy at scale, & the fact that it has a visible, loud, ongoing discourse about racism is actually evidence of relatively low tolerance for it compared to countries where racial hierarchy is just... ambient & unremarked upon.
japan (lol very obvious now), korea, much of europe, india's caste system, han chauvinism in china, ethnic dynamics across the gulf states.. most of these societies don't even have the vocabulary for the conversation america tortures itself over daily.
america is quite literally is one of the least if not the least racist countries on the planet, & it's not even close.
