As a society we waste an inordinate amount of time on the trivial: There is no organized, institutional racism in the United States.
Zero, none, less than none. I would and could argue that we as a society have gone to extraordinary efforts to ensure that that is the case. I then would and could point out that many of our efforts have been misplaced and occasioned more harm than good in the cause we were trying to fix.
My Spanish relatives laugh at the efforts of the Anglo's trying to make themselves feel better about themselves by denigrating their own heritage. Who does that?
Human nature is tribal and small; mean, nasty, brutish and short.
