People from the U.S.A. are waking up and come to r/europe to post about how tolerant their country is. It’s probably the same people who, under the statistics about the high crime ratio, incarceration and infant mortality write “it’s because of the rappers, blacks and Hispanics”.
Let’s see. Does the National Review have anything relevant and accurate to add to the discourse on race?
>By any genuine measurement, America is the most tolerant place on earth *. . . followed by a bunch of deliberate misinterpretations of the research.*
Yep, pretty much what I expected.
How do I know they’ve deliberately misinterpreted the research? Because they never give any information that would let the reader check the studies they’re supposedly citing. For example: “Research from Northwestern University comparing conditions in nine countries — Canada, the United States, and seven European nations — found that racism in hiring practices was far worse in Europe than in America.” No year, no author names, no journal name, nothing. There is no way to figure out when, which countries specifically were involved, or how they measured racism in hiring practices. The next sentences (in this same paragraph) cite research from a different, but still unidentified source.
Actual journalists know that they are not scientists. Journalists will contact scientists to make certain they’re interpreting the results and conclusions correctly. In the article, they’ll often quote those scientists’ statements from those discussions, giving their names and links to their research. The National Review didn’t do this.
>“Europe has long been suspicious — even jealous — of the way America has been able to pursue national wealth and power despite its deep social inequities,” Robin Niblett, the director of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, told The New Yorker’s Robin Wright
lol, sure we are
Damn.. Who tf wrote this crap..
“Race” isn’t really a thing in Europe. National origin is.
You mean the America where there are thoughts for secession from both sides of the isle because half of the population supports an openly racist party that refuses democratic participation to several groups of the population for racists reasons?
America is tolerant indeed. I have spent over 6 months there and I don’t remember a single tiny incident at all. Most of it was in California though but yes it’s a much more tolerant place than Europe for sure.
Nation review is basically fox news level propaganda, stop taking them seriously.
Turns out people that live in a walled off country, reviewing and accepting asylum applications like they are CV for a business enterprise are more tolerant than people living in countries that were left to deal with the spillage of refugees from countries that were destabilized in a useless war from the tolerant countries.
Who would’ve guessed.
Honestly the US is probably the least racist western country out there. The UK and the US are often painted as racist countries but it’s just because we’re all engulfed in their media sphere of influence and they are pretty self deprecative.
I asked my algerian worker what his experiences was in France and let me tell you that he did not paint a pretty picture at all. I lived there too for a little while and regularly consume their news so I kinda get it too though.
Well it is good that they believe that they are more tolerant than Europe while officers separate kids from their parents who have lived and worked in US for 30 years. And they don’t bat an eyelash. Of course and we are jealous of that
Oh this is gonna be good…A paper on the failure of European assimilation policy vs their more successful American counterpart. As an immigrant from India I can’t agree more with the article given how shifty a time Germany did trying to assimilate my cousins ass vs America were the whole family basically ended up after that failure of a time.
This gonna be a good comment section so time for some popcorn.
