American racism is playing the game on casual mode.
EU racism is ranked mode, everyone is smurfing and tryharding.
Show me the most racist American video you can find and I'll show you a Tuesday in Austria.
american racism is definitely not benign, black people lynching still occurs, getting shot or killed, or sento jail as innocent never gets media attention. plus the violence that other POC gets which often ignored by the news.
I can show you countless lynching and hanging from America. Show me that Tuesday in Austria?
Sources show there have been 10 black Americans found hanged in the US since 2024.
Compare the population of the U.S. to Austria.
White, Black, Asian, and Latino males are often found hanging from trees in essentially every single country, males have astronomically higher incidence rates of suicide than women. The only reason it makes news here is because of the historical context for one specific race.
Literally zero cases have been tied to lynchings, no video evidence has ever surfaced, rather video evidence has shown the individuals alone, no physical evidence has ever surfaced. Every piece of evidence points to suicide, even independent coroners find zero evidence of struggle when families have demanded a review.
So go ahead, show those videos of them being lynched and I'll show you an Austrian tuesday.
