Try the ethnic cleansing during the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Try the ethnic cleansing going on between tribes in Africa.
Try the Sunni/Shiite/Kurd thing.
Try the Israeli-Palestinian/Arab thing.
Try the roaming Russian gangs beating up darkies.
Hell, Chechnya.
Western Europe's Muslim problem, which, for some reason isn't a problem here.
If America is highly racist, then much of the planet is moonbat sub-human racist. Maybe America's melting pot (stew is a better analogy, actually) is creating a SUPER RACE that isn't really a race at all, it's a culture.

True...I admitted it recently, that yes I am hard on the bigot elements in the country, AND also that some backwater types (i.e. Appalachia, or bible thumpers) are very embarrassing for a civilized country, but really overall the USA is much better than most places.
Only Scaninavia/UK/Canada come across as more tolerant in regards to minorities, ethnicities, religions, etc.
But the US absolutely is not bad on a world scale.

Okay, but that's nowhere near a majority opinion and will never happen.
Plus, that's really not a question of racism. It's mostly the perception of an "illegal" alien receiving benefits to which they are not entitled and "taking away jobs" from "American citizens". I don't agree with that (many illegals pay taxes without being eligible for benefits), but I don't think this fits the definition of "racism".
