i think the difference is there's at least an idea in america of "black american" being an existing and legitimate concept (i'm not talking white supremacists, i'm just talking among the average person), regardless of one's idea of what such constitutes. There's an an idea of "indian american" or "asian american" or the like. There's no such thing as "black hungarian" for example. You can be black and you can be in hungary, but no one will ever validate your existence there as part of the country or a legitimate member of their culture. Also other countries are just straight up more openly racist. See what middle-easterns or what south-east asians have to say about africans half the time. America is certainly segmented into a lot of sub-cultural spheres, but each of these spheres recognize the other ones exist, which is I think why the culture here is so unique versus other ones, where instead there's a blanketed, concrete definition of culture, and anything under it, no matter how well in-grained in the country, is foreign.

This is it!!!!!!!!

This what ive been feeling since i moved here

Like there are definitely black people here, more than any eu country that isnt uk or france but it felt different like no community. Everyone either assimilated into whatever immigrant background they have or into the larger white culture

This what separates america from most countries, there are legitimate ideas of each group and the way that intersects in the history of the country

There’s a broader understanding of the culture of each group and how it relates to americaness smth you’ll rarely find in many countries where 2nd-3rd generation in people still view themselves as more whatever place their ancestors came from

In my experience there are less day to day micro aggressions

In the average mid size city, not even mega ones like nyc or Chicago, black culture is available and to an extent acknowledged

Sense of community etc

Can't front. Feels like we're Saiyans in the namek saga. We're done being slaves and being unappreciated. We're on the brink of fulfilling a thousand year prophecy and hitting super Saiyan and overthrowing frieza

After that a wave of super Saiyans will emerge all over earth

First of all, i think you will find racism everywhere in the world in some type of way. People tend to categorize themselves and 'the other'.

Then bout Europe: Most of the black people in European countries from old colonies and African refugees. There is definately a lot of racism against black people, but it's more hidden and sneaky. Violence is much rarer (for now). People will be less racist in your face, and more behind your back here in Europe compared to the USA, it seems

This is purely a feeling, i don't know if it's completely true, but it indeed seems to be the case that people from the Middle East have to deal with racism more than black people in Europe. It has a lot to do with islam, a cultural clash, while most black people from colonies kinda made the existing culture of the country they live in their own (def not completely tho)

Most Western European countries multicultural, and while there is racism, people can def express their own culture if you know what i mean. It's not that they go up in the primary culture of the country completely. Many European countries have a way bigger modern left wing too, which is usually more open to other cultures than white conservatives (which dominate the US)

Eastern Europe is another beast where there is barely any diversity. Neo-nazism is bigger too. Same for southern Europe. Italy, a beautiful country btw, is the cradle of fascism. They also have to deal with more African refugees, and theres a lot of xenophobia. I honestly don't know how bad those Africans had it in their own country, but as a refugee it's hard to live in countries like Greece, Italy, France (Turkey too if we count them). It's not for nothing most refugees cluster in the wealthier Western European countries (who still have a lot racists but def less than in the east/south)

You don't know S***. They distance themselves just like the Asians, they don't want to live amongst us.
The dumbass Italian government even tried to give them a proper apartment in the past and the gypsies would go back to living in trailer parks. Plus they only know robbing as a way of life, they just don't belong in a civilized society and they don't want to either.

This that backwards euro mindset

The most enlightening thing is seeing some young european preaching progressivism then when it comes to gypsies go “but no they really are less than human srsly guys in an objecive way”
