1. [+344, -9] Why is racism so rampant in the US?? What makes them think they're so better than everyone else!!! It's so frustrating.. Do they think pretending to beat someone and then apologizing makes it go away? They meant to antagonize people.

Having lived in many countries, including the US, racism is rampant everywhere. US simply talks about it more and there is a social stigma against it. In most countries racist and sexist remarks are normalized part of everyday conversation. Random racist comments make the news in the US and therefore internationally, but in other countries? Life just goes on. 

That doesn’t justify the treatment of BTS though. It’s just a comment on the state of discussion about racism around the world.
