It's not but I can't say that any other European government or the US government is any different.
I was basically calling both racist just so that's clear. That last part of my post wasn't very coherent. :oops:
There's a certain guy on UG who is always calling Europe 'extremely more racist than the US' because they have nationalist parties and we don't but I don't agree because there are millions of Americans with the same sentiments, they just aren't in an official 'American National Party' (though we do of course have our own share of neo-Nazi groups, the KKK, etc.) The fact is that racism is a huge issue in both societies and really the entire world. I'm not aware of any national government that is really representative of its population.

Not an official source but I chose it because of the chart. The American system isn't very representative of the total population- minorities are primarily elected through minority-majority districts.

Westminster isn't very good either.
