Americans have had guns since its birth, even if they live in one of the safest neighborhoods in the world. White suburbans buy whatever they think will keep them safe, even if the most dangerous thing they did in the last decade was drive to Target. > And why are so many people still talking and being unhappy about race and ethnicity if that's a total success? Because people who are citizens are being shipped to Texas even with their papers? A friend of mine was called the N word to his face by an ICE agent. Why would the existence of racism in the U.S. be evidence that immigration is bad? That's evidence that some people are racist and will blame all their problems on people that don't look like them. Nobody is denying that. > Japan has a great cultural soft power too, however I don't know if many people would tolerate life in Japan That supports what I said. They are a famously homogeneous culture that is difficult to live in, but still draws admirers through soft power. If you care about the values of your culture, it would behoove you to be seen favorably, and not run by fickle children who think 5% of the population is responsible for all their problems. |

Like any other country. And "white Americans" are right to be somewhat cautious, USA is a dangerous country indeed.
> Because people who are citizens are being shipped to Texas even with their papers?
DEI and so on predate Trump and the current ICE behavior. A lot of American culture revolves around racism, not just white-on-others. It mainly appears that everyone is racist (or, "race-realist") against other ethnicities. Even "I don't see race" types of behaviors are denounced by activists[0].
As an external observer, it seems always bizarre to me that Americans are so upset at the "n" word (it's not even allowed to SAY what it is! Unlike other four letter words which are used profusely), while black music is full of it and black people use the word to call each other out.

What if the values of your culture are what makes your society fail? South Africa is a good example of rosy-glasses rainbow socialism gone very wrong. Maybe the Europeans and the Zulu should have stayed appart? Non withstanding the Indians who stole 30% of the GDP. [1]
