No no. You're confusing the facts.
I asked (that's not a statement fyi): Race is less an issue in the US than it is in England?
You responded (and I still don't know why because I wasn't talking to you): Really? Hmmm?

Then I said: I still think it's less a force in the UK than it is in the US.
To which you responded: Not so much less, just different.
I said: If neither of us has sources readily available, then I suppose it's rather a matter of subjective opinion, isn't it?
You said: Not really. There is material to read, official reports ( I linked one from the UN the other day). Also, I had the privilege of knowing for a few years Brits of various caste, class and ethnicity when I was in college and during my early job career in NYC.
Then you said: Yes, really. That UN report said there is racism in the UK. Ground breaking research, I tell you. It makes no comparison to racism in the US whatsoever. I have anecdotes too. I'm not offering some people that I knew for a few years as proof of anything.
So to be very clear, no, I didn't make a statement. You interrupted an exchange between myself and another poster with a drive-by, throwaway link that didn't do anything close to what you think you did. You added in an irrelevant anecdote for good measure. Your "facts" are merely your opinion, so be very careful about projecting your shortcomings on me.
As far as the second link you provided, all it does is prove my point: Personal accounts and statistics suggest that even if things have improved, and even if police brutality isn’t “as bad” as the other side of the Atlantic, the UK still has plenty of work to do in addressing its racism.
In any event, racism of any kind in any amount is unacceptable, so it's not a very important distinction anyway.
