Tell me something I don't already know. A year after the race riots that crossed the country, I still have the pleasure of hearing how racism is much more of an American problem. It exists, sure, but the differences in addressing the issue are about 40 years apart. The main similarity that I see at the moment is that some people in both America and Europe are obsessed with immigrants and preaching the same kind of hatred.
Most European Union nations are doing little to report incidents of racism or discrimination, the EU's racism monitoring agency said Tuesday.The upside here is that there is at least a recognition that the problem exists.
The agency gave EU governments poor marks in its report for 2005 on the state of racism and xenophobia in the 25-nation bloc, concluding that the EU as a whole must increase efforts to combat discrimination.
digg this!
