The notion that Asia is the most anti-black country is so odd to me. Like even if people were foaming at the mouth racist and saying slurs to every black person in the street, I don’t see how that’s more racist when black people make up a tiny percentage of the population and most countries there have little history with black people, whereas black citizens make up a significant portion of the western countries, and multiple (particularly angloid) countries had laws specifically targeting black people, and they still target them today. This isn’t mentioning the endless pro-destitution policies the west imposes on Africa.
One of it is (mostly) opportunist racism whereas the other explicitly incorporated anti black racism into countries’ very foundation
Honkies in America legitimately believe that because it’s socially unacceptable to shout a slur at a black person that all racism has been alleviated from society, we are now systemically equal, and no white person has racial biases anymore because if they do, they’ll get called out by “anti-racist” liberals. Right?
You see, a lot of countries don’t have large black populations and haven’t developed cultural conventions, laws, etc. around incorporating black populations into their societies. It’s because these societies are inherently racist and definitely not because they didn’t participate in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
