A friend of mine in South America was talking about it the other day. She was saying that while racism does exist where she lives, it's treated and received with significantly less violence. She heard about racial tensions in America, and the crimes committed, and she was shocked. To her knowledge, that had never happened where she lives.
I don't know enough about her local history to make any kind of argument, so I just let it go. But it did seem strange to me.
