Racism isn't just a US problem....

...It's also a Spanish problemOn Tuesday, they were showing the France v. Spain game on a big screen in Sol, a big central plaza close to us. I convinced Amy that we should go see the last ten minutes of the game - we left when it was still 1-1, but arrived as the plaza just as France scored its second goal

That's what my dad always says. When he comes back from traveling, he always points out that though Europe and the US both have race relation problems, the major difference is that the US chooses to address them and Europe does not.

Americans do tend to have an exaggerated view of most of their problems. Racism is nasty here, but it's even worse in most other places. And I think in Europe it's especially bad with regard to the growing Middle Eastern/South Asian population.

then again...

Is it racism when both people are white?
isn't it more like nationalism. Not the good kind like 4th of july barbecue patriotism, but the bad kind like the Nazis.

Henry is a player for the French team, and he's black. So, yeah, racism.
