Does not mean that racism doesn’t exist.

Correct. Racism is the belief that races exist. Hence it is not applicable / not a suitable allegation towards my comment. And yes, bigot might be a better allegation, but it still isn't a very suitable one. I gave you my answer to your questoin why you ("y'all") are being lumped in with all the idiots. Take it or leave it. But I'll elaborate a bit:

It's a general problem and while people in your country aren't born less or more dumb or evil than elsewhere in the world, your country surely has taken the lead in tearing down the thin veil of civilization in favor of totalitarianism and institutionalized mass murder (i.e. capitalism). This is not a problem isolated to your country, we have the same bullshit and fuckheads in Europe, just currently less morons in the average population who drank that cool-aid. Tendency is not looking good though. If people are fed up with the D.S. in general, it's in part trying to avoid looking at the pile of dung on their own doorstep, and in part because of the attitude of superiority coming from "murica". Also reflected by way overproportional flooding of irrelevant bickering from your country in international news.

A large portion of the humans suffering from murica's (wannabe) exceptionalism live in that very country. My personal aversion to "murica" (which I use as a pejorative term to distinguish your country from the continent of north america, having three countries) is that it's a waste of my time to argue with people where the brainwash / brain damage has been done, even if it's not their fault. If we still want to salvage anything from this mess, we need to focus on the people who can be reasoned with. And currently, there are not many of that type left in your country.

And im from the U.S., you think you’re being smart telling me about my own country, but you’re not.

Again, you misspelled "D.S.". And honestly, I don't care what you think. We have bigger problems in the world right now, thanks to toxic masculinity and some shithead billionaires running your military.

They just talked in circles trying to justify their prejudice and huff their own farts. The irony was almost worth it.

I still don't know what D.S. means... 🤷

The divided states. They appear to believe that's some controversial insult. As if Americans actually hold the unity of states as some sacrosanct. Boom, gottem!
