It kinda sucks where we are at a stage where all the major powers are turning fascist and authoritarian. I mean whether the Chinese literally take over or not, it just... Sucks right now.
"Can't, pants are full"
Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime looked to the United States racial policies and legal models as inspiration, particularly in the crafting of the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler himself praised the United States in his manifesto Mein Kampf for its racist immigration and nationality policies, and Nazi lawyers explicitly referenced American race law as a precedent for their own legislation. So, yeah, historically the United States is different from what Hollywood shows (the shock, I know).
For context:
Not to be that guy but that's literally closing in on almost 100 years ago.
The US might still have race issues but the US is definitely the most racially conscious country you could probably live in at the same time. Most countries don't have such a variety of cultures mixed together.
Just kind of an odd thing for you to throw out in the context of this picture. What about this post makes you think "ah yes, racism!"
Just look at Japan. It's been 100 years since they joined the wrong side of WWII, in part for racist reasons. Today, as a culture and generally speaking, not only are they horribly racist, they don't even acknowledge it as a problem. Even among Asians, they consider themselves the most superior Asian (read: whitest) race. Look at how they treat Koreans or Chinese throughout history.
China continues to try to purge Uyghurs. In fact, anti-indigenous racism seems to be an unfortunately global concept. Rwanda committed one of the worst genocides in history, purging a culture so similar to their own that it defies reason, and could only happen through decades of re-enforcement. A majority of European countries are so culturally isolated from each other than they barely understand what racism is.
A country that understands where the racism exists can take the first steps to fight against it. Most countries aren't even that far.
And yet, countries like the US and Canada are huge melting pots that understand what racism is, and has fought for centuries to push it back. Has the US solved racism? Fuck no! But, the topic is constantly in the foreground, always talked about, and one of the primary drivers of politics.

It‘s funny because historically America has always been the good guy, and Trump is the only anomaly. This is clear by the fact that the US is currently not involved in any proxy or trade war with any of the evil dictators on the other side.
Very sharp analysis by the cartoonist, they really must have a strong grip on reality.
