I don't believe so. President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has it better than some white guy working at Comcast.
I get the point you're trying to make, but using a head of state of a nation of impoverished people dying of Ebola as an example isn't really fair. He wasn't even at the G20.
I'm not European so my experience is obviously not completely representative. But being black and visiting Austria a couple years ago wasn't a very fun experience to say the least (aside from it being a beautiful country). I can't speak for the rest of Europe (I'm sure there are wonderful places that are accepting of all or most colors of people) but I would love to move out of the US one day.

Well for starters the Black population in the USA is very big compare to the Black population in Europe. And Blacks are everywhere in the USA, from towns, to rural, suburbs and in Cities. In Europe they are mostly in Cities living in some immigrant neighborhood. And no matter how many times Blacks keep saying that the shooting was racist and all that, we all know that kid (I will call him a Thug - either Black or White or Latino - like me) was shot because he was struggling with the Police Officer. It wouldn't matter if the Cop was Black. He is reaching for the gun and you better shoot it him off. The Cop did not say some racist thing and shot him. He was acting in self defense. But people can't past seeing skin color. Yes there are many injustice in the Black Community I know… but this is the wrong case to bring up it up.
That's not the only incident of racist cops though. There are tons of cases where there is absolutely no doubt about them being racially charged confrontations. Where if a white person had done the same exact thing they'd be treated like an actual human being. But lemme not go off topic.

Why are you sure the Cops were racist though? Not every Police issue is racist. Did the say the N-Word or what? He is saying that Cops are beating up whenever they get 'frustrated' with the Victim or perpetrator. This things tend to happen, because of resisting arrest and struggling with the police, that is when the victim gets attacked and beaten by the Police either fairly or unfairly. No matter what color of their skin. This happens in other countries with Police Brutality. They could be of the same race.
I am sure this White guy was treated with respect... I can also google more cases. You want to try?
I also believe the Michael Brown case was not based on any race bias. He reached for the Police gun and then the Cop retaliated. There was no race issue here. People here doing the most to place the race card on this incident.
I'm a brazilian and I heard we and basically the whole latin america is treated like sh!t in the US.
I am Latino and I live in NYC, USA.
The only people that have giving me Hate tend to be mostly from Blacks. But I did get Hate from Whites when I was in Virginia in some rural area though. I went with my friends to do some Water Rafting trip. They did not like that we spoke Spanish.
Also I was in California in a museum and a Mexican American did not like that I spoke spanish and he insulted me and my family and call me a 'Wetback'. Even though I did not cross no river to get to the USA
You can't really compare.
I think the average American would be in a total shock when he lived here but most race jokes get laughed off like it's ok. We've seen it in the media as well as every day life.
Like watch this bit from a Dutch tv show:
People in The Netherlands have very dark humor but I can see how people would be offended.
Race jokes are made the entire time here but none are serious at all EXCEPT when it comes to arabs.
People loathe arabs here. A lot of them who come here finish a lower education or none at all which idk irks the rest of the population cuz they often benefit from the government... They often end up in the poor neighborhoods and the cultural differences are just really big. Then the national Central Agency for Statistics found that there is a strong correlation between criminality and non-western immigrants which gave them a stigma.
I think a lot of white people get raised with the thought; always be aware of arabs. So yeah that is kind of sad
We have like an anti-arab party in parliament now (3rd biggest) and tv channels that make fun of arabs all the time.

Dan cringing so hard cause he KNOWS would this been US TV they would have been lynched after the show
He's must be thinking to himself "let me stay out of this mess, I wanna be able to go home".
Im of Italian heritage and when I was in germany with a few of my girl friends (they are white but look like an arab/latin mix, not white at all, strangely enough) and we asked directions people straight up ignored us. they were so incredibly rude. That was in Düsseldorf. I hear good things about Berlin though. People of color or who are latin & mixed approach me more than whites.
Even when you are a native ppl in Düsseldorf ignore you because they are rich and so above everything. Ignorance is common sense there.
In Berlin they are stressed, big city, no time for you if you are not HOT af or they simply couldn't help you anyway.
