No where has no racism, but you can not deny that there is a very, very, loud race war in the United States. Americans are obsessed with race. On both ends of it. I believe Europe also is battling this.
There is no Russian word for Racist or Racism. The early Soviet Union’s ideals were very loudly anti-racist as they considered racism to be a “direct result of capitalism and bourgeois immoral”. There was a time in the USSR when using a racial slur would get you thrown in the drunk tank or fined.
Many black Americans traveled to the Soviet Union during the 30’s, the Black Panthers were a Marxist-Leninist organization, even prominent American black figures like Tupac, Mike Tyson, Benjamin Davis, Fred Hampton, and Paul Robeson, were communist-affiliated. As well as Marxist-Leninist revolutions in Africa and the global South.
There is a lot of carry-over into Russia of Soviet ideals and attitudes. Modern Russians attribute the word “racism” to be strictly “discrimination against African Americans”.
I do think though that modern Russia has a larger discrimination problem now than we used to have, but we aren’t as racially diverse as some of the West. It would be pretty stupid for some dude in a Siberian village surrounded only by ethnic Russians to have a problem with Black people
There is no race war going on in the usa. Racism? Yeah of course, you don't cram hundreds of ethnic groups together and not get the occasional scuffle.
I want to say the n word just because i’m not allowed to
