I am sure our democratic system will sort this sort abuse out right away...but in reality most people in this country won't bat an eye at issues like this or mass incarceration unfortunately
As an outsider the ubiquitous racism in American culture seems obvious. It's just become political correct to not actually speak about it.
I mean, it's not like Americans are rounding up brown people in lynch mobs anymore (or at least not as frequently), but that most racists today don't outright try to kill the people they despise doesn't mean they're not racists anymore.
Of courses there's widespread (systemic) racism. And sub-conscious only in the sense that people don't care to speak about it, because they know it alright.
