America is not perfect... But I still think it will be hard to find a better situation for yourself in another nation. The grass is always greener on the other side, or so it seems.
I understand that you don't understand the history of racism in the USA. However, when you say the grass is greener theory, you ignore the primary reason why your ancestors immigrated here. The world today consists of winners and losers. There's no such thing as a game with just winners., As a result, your ancestors most likely immigrated here from Russia because they were denied certain opportunities or necessary resources because they weren't born in the right family. For you to tell me the grass is always greener is a spit in the face of your ancestors that immigrated here because they were nothing but Russian serfs in that country. As a result, your ancestors woudln't have been better off staying in the USSR than moving to American. I don't think this is true at all Asmodeus. However, when you tell me "the grass is greener", this is exactly what you are telling me. You don't understand that African Americans and Native Americans were pretty much the exploited serfs in this country. Honestly, I don't expect you to understand either, but I still like you as a poster lol.

Yall do realize the planter class came to the colonies because they weren't either a "Tudor" or a first born right. America is the Land of Opportunity for people screwed over in their home countries lmao. Why else would a person willingly leave his family and friends forever?

I understand the history... But that was then, this is now. The USSR does not exist, slavery has been gone for longer than that. You wish to move out at this current point in time, not in the past. At this current point America despite its flaws is one of the more strong and stable countries in the world. Many others will not likely provide the same level of opportunity for you. Certainly if you want to leave America out of spite for past grievances then it is your prerogative. But today America is still likely going to have the best chances for you to find success. There is no utopia without discrimination, no utopia that is a real land of opportunity, no such place exists in our current world. So if you look beyond the righteous indignation you have over the past, you will see that America even with all its flaws is likely the best place for you to be.

I don't think you understand what the purpose of racism in this country is. If you think racism is an exceptional individual shouting the nword or an occasional racist cop then you have it all wrong. Racism is exclusively economics. Our founding fathers were white supremacists that made it clear who they wanted to prosper in this country. The ruling elite made every point to keep whoever classified as white and others at the bottom. This meant stealing land from minorities to put white farmers on them, running minorities out of towns through lynching and rioting when White Americans deemed them an economic threat, enslaving 13% of your population and doing a **** job with reconstruction because that would mean taking land from white people, racist discriminatory legislation, immigration quotas for countries not considered "White", and much more. As history progresses, the USA eventually ends slavery, passes civil rights, and much more. Now you are a spot where a majority is at a higher spot than the other races because they have benefited and are still benefiting, from the oppression of minorities in this country. The simple term for this is "White Privilege". I have figured out that white americans foam out of the mouth when they get accused of this. SJW Liberal af or Conservative, they all get heated when confronted with this issue. For racism to truly end, acknowledging White Privilege is the first step. However, I don't White Americans to do so and I don't blame them either. Nobody wants to lose in this world, so I'll stick with the system that helps me win. The reason I mentioned the USSR is because every country has their own "White Privilege" system in which one group or the majority of the population gets screwed over for a small or majority group of people to benefit. Your ancestors recognized that they were getting screwed over in the USSR, so they simply moved to a different country where they weren't on the screw over list. That is why I am leaving the USA.
