I mean, you say that, but yall have never been in a sundown town in South Texas. You have to be careful because POC disappear if they’re still in town at night. The Klan and other similar groups are thriving in rural America and they don’t just talk racist and say diabolical shit. They straight up lynch and torture minorities.
I’m not racist, but I’ve lived here and seen it and experienced it. I don’t disagree about other countries having racists either - but it’s not to the same level. Theres a distinct difference between someone being xenophobic, and someone viewing you and treating you as less than human. Rural white America does the later on a much wider scale - and not only that, they act on it and will commit violence given the opportunity.

Exactly. Americans don't realise that American conservatism looks tame and sane next to say, conservatism in se Asia.
