I will never deny the UK/US's roles in global empire/exploitation/colonialism and its lasting effects on indigenous populations. I have not lived in the UK, so I cant really comment on any racism there, but here in America there undoubtedly is racism as we have hundreds of different ethnicities here in vast numbers crammed in close together in neighborhoods, but since the 1980s there have hardly been any instances of people not getting a job or being denied entrance into schools based on race; on the contrary the affirmative action programs have largely evened all that out over the past 40 years or so, and you will find all races in all positions basically, except for obviously President (tho soon I think Kamala will be President). And when it DOES happen, the guilty parties are sued to the tune of millions of dollars for violating civil rights of individuals and blacklisted all over the media.
In Malaysia or Guyana, the racism between the Chinese, the Tamil Indians, and the ethnic Malays is so thick --even with politicians openly making anti-INdian or anti-Chinese comments and daily stories in the newspapers that would appall you -- you can cut it with a knife. Compared to that I think the UK and US are far less racist nowadays.
