Not that other countries don't have racism, but American sheer dedication to it is impressive

Racism isnt a matter of intelligence, but of social programming. It's In-group versus out-group dynamics and often has little to do with race. Very intelligent people get caught in the trap though less intelligent people get caught easier. You see this in church scandals all the time. People say they would mob justice a pedophile but when it turns out it was the pastor at their big mega church who very tearfully asked god for forgiveness, suddenly it's not so bad. Because he's our pastor, not like those sick Catholics, ammiright?
