And like I said, to me it seems like many Americans discriminate against other Americans even without having a different background.

They could both be American for many generations, both are Christians, both are fans of the same football team but they still separate each other solely based on their skin color.

And this discrimination purely based on someone’s appearance is what seems so weird to me and that I haven’t noticed to this extent here in Europe. Of course people like this will also exist here but it seems very rare where as in American culture it feels like it’s integrated into normal every day mainstream life to have stereotypes based on these “races” and to differentiate between races like “black people”, “white people”, “Asians” etc. in general.

I mean I could somewhat understand if it was related to religion, rituals etc. because those things actually affect someones personality and culture and that this can naturally clash (different personalities and cultures) is pretty obvious. But it being related to appearance makes no sense to me.

No you’re understanding me right, I just tried to not use harsh or direct language to not offend anyone. And I don’t wanna say “Why are many Americans racist towards other Americans” because imo that’s racist to say as well. I tried to be more considerate.

It’s only that to me it felt like this genetic superiority and separation is more extreme in American culture than in Europe. Like I said it feels like it’s almost a mainstream trend in America to make this identity about “being black or white” in so many aspects of life which I just don’t see in Europe even in more diverse places.
