The MAGA cult

Without question.

Again, my point is that you seem to conflate the two (white supremacy and racism) in your initial post—you mentioned the uptick in black support for Trump, and you clearly articulated in your last sentence of that post that “racism is part of the problem”.

I’m simply pointing out that racism was a larger “part of the problem” than you seem to acknowledge, and that it wasn’t restricted to white supremacy…instead it was pervasive among all Trump voters.

Sorry, i'm not combining the two. The last sentence of my original post was just acknowledging that racism, outside of white supremacy, is part of the prob, sorry if my post was confusing. And yes, racism is a huge part of the problem, but that wasn't the question.

Yes, racism is endemic everywhere because the the colonial cultures that dominated so much of the world used it as a measuring stick. It's as much a learned behavior as speaking English.

There was no colonialism in many non-white countries, like visit asia or many arab countries in the company of a black person. In some countries you'll witness racism just as a white person. Do you feel non-white racism in asian countries is "imported" due to the era of colonialism and from western culture? Prejudices have to come from somewhere, so maybe i'd buy that.

I don't know exactly where the racism in so much of Asia comes from. I know what you're talking about, though. I have a half Asian grandson and there have been a few uncomfortable moment in interfamilial relationships. I hadn't ever given the origin much thought but it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't stem from the attempt of cultural preservation in the face of the various Mongol khans willingness to stamp out such root, stem and branch. That's totally off the top of my head but it would have made me paranoid.
