      It’s really not that complicated. If a typical organization is presented with two equally-qualified candidates, one of whom is a minority (of any kind, not just a racial minority), the organization will hire the non-minority candidate nearly every time. DEI policies exist to combat that sort of institutional bigotry.

          Britain, Canada and the United States have really gone off the rail.

          I have been to Britain. I can honestly say Britain is probably one of the most open-minded and tolerant countries in the world.

          You said both these things. They make no sense together and seem to show no awareness of the context of your comments. Are you an AI?

          Racism as a tourist is very different than racism as a citizen. And racism presents very differently depending on your race. You’re not white, but the racists in England and Canada (and probably France, but I don’t have experience with that) will treat East Asians, South Asians, brown people, and black people very differently. They might even like you if you’re a tourist - they just don’t want you to live in their country.
