Everyone always says don't judge a race/ethnicity/group off of one person but then they show this one ignorant, disgusting lady and the thread title blows it out of proportion. Yes, racism still exists and it always will, but the days of it being a major global issue where the lives and well beings of minorities are actually threatened are over.

We don't even talk about racism here. It's accepted. We've grown used to hearing "Moroccans are scum", "Black Pete is tradition", "White people first", "Gypsies are lazy", etc. Don't get me started on how black athletes are treated in Spain and Italy. Racism against black people is a form of comedy in Europe, whether we're talking Sweden or Greece. There were violent racist attacks in Greece last year btw. And Nazism is widespread in Europe and they're very active, especially in Russia.
