Americans (and Europeans) are very used to the idea that no matter your race or creed you can be just as American as anyone else. We many times forget that not every country in the world acts this way. China being one of them.

Thats nonsense, even if you ignore the past problems we had with race and creed like the genocide of native Americans, enslavement of Africans.

Today Americas police and prison system has institutionalised racism. USA has camps they keep Mexicans in and separate their families.

China and Russia do these things too I know but that doesn't white wash what we do.

As long as your race is white and your creed is western. I would say the same thing about china as long as you are Chinese.

I almost did a spit take there. America's short history includes genocide, enslavement, de facto disenfranchisement, economic discrimination, and/or dramatically unequal jurisprudence levied against basically all non-Europeans.

You could say that this is somehow improved since the civil rights movement, and you'd be right, but its legacy as a de-facto patriarchal ethnostate looms large to this day and if this is the beacon of inclusion and harmony that the rest of the world aspires to that's a sorry situation indeed. The US line of "all men are created equal" should have come with a footnote explaining that "some are more equal than others."
