Americans do a lot of stupid things, but they are most likely to be self critical in this space. I think this meme should talk about Western Europe instead, because they have many problems, but they are so often never willing to accept criticism. They're quick to call the US racist, but in my experience, Europe has so much racism it's crazy it's viewed as this anti racist place.
I (a US citizen) literally didn't get a job in Germany because one member on the team objected because I didn't speak German yet. The company is "English first" and I worked in the US division previously. So yeah, Europeans are certainly as capable of being racist. And they didn't even try to hide it!
Ah yes, the English language speaking race
I see you deal in absolutes. The person wanted a fluent German speaker despite being an English first company. Put it together in your head.
