Yeah, the other ones are even worse

She's an Australian. She's talking about Australia.

The other contenders are pretty fucking grim too lmao

Who else is in the running? Mexico? The UK? Canada?

Singapore

New Zealand is ‘grim’? Who knew?

I was really surprised by how integrated UK is and how small pay disparities are compared to U.S. I suppose the white pop is trying to change that now though

Who even are the other contenders? Canada and uhhhh Nigeria?

yeah, the lack of places that have succeeded so well as to put the American experiment to shame is...well, a stone cold fucking bummer, really.

The other major contenders are like...Brazil, Canada, post-apartheid South Africa, and uh.

Russia, I guess, as the remnant of am old-style continental empire.

My parents worked there for 3 years - the most egregiously racist and corrupt people and without a shred of self-awareness My Dad had a black engineer from Chicago come to commission some hardware and they wouldn’t check him in at the hotel People literally spat at him in the street

We were listing examples of multi-ethnic societies which Russia just demonstrably is. It is not, however, as you demonstrate, anywhere near egalitarian or cosmopolitan as we might understand it, which is what I think the point of the thread was.

Australia? New Zealand?

India, at times, though unlikely going forward. Indonesia to a degree, but I really have no idea. Cuba?

OMG they literally have race/religious wars in India Individually Indians are lovely people, until they rub shoulders with different religions and ethnicities, then they get very rapey and murdery - often with the full support of local governments Indonesia, by contrast, doesn’t ever - very chill

Italy and Spain if you count all the things that we would just round up to "Italian" and "Spanish" and even then it's not easy.

Hey, Brazil did get it’s fascist out of office and properly persecuted them, so they deserve some points for that

These things are not contradictory they are because of each other. Notably racism as a political force in Europe as taken off as it has gotten more diverse

The two 1619s are one of those things you'd think a writer of fiction was making up - but they're woven deep in the heart of our national heritage, always.
