    So you vote for different people. There’s these things called “Primaries” and “Campaigns” where you can contribute before the general election to get more amenable candidates.

    The main reason we don’t see these better people is because people choose not to participate.

    You realize that times have existed before now, right? The entire concept of racism in America comes from the European idea of “Noble Savages”. Not to mention the slave trade was a Dutch concept that was imported to the US for a huge profit.

    The idea that somehow everyone else’s hands are clean but apparently everyone in the US is somehow tainted is a ridiculous passing of the blame so you don’t have to consider the actual cause, rather than a nationalist one.

    Granted, you are talking about how European ideas are xenophobic, so displaying your own is a point in your favor.

    Do they have little flags attached to their names, like that one 4chan board? Maybe just the loud obnoxiously Americans do that, or you associate anyone loud and obnoxious with being American.

    Either way, race has been a huge issue since before America even existed (they mostly imported their racism from Europe). I won’t deny that quite a few loud groups use race as wedge issue these days, though, no matter their political spectrum.
