But you keep missing the point. You still seem to think Katie's article was written as a sort of "I am tired of hearing about racism against blacks. Let us talk about racism against slavic people instead."

That is what you still think this was about. But that simply isn't what she wrote about. I think people especially in America are so hardwired into thinking everybody is engaging in some kind of oppression olympics because that is so common in the US. Thus one reads any topic on race and racism assuming that is the angle.

This piece was in particular about American ignorance about Slavic people. She had every right to correct the false narrative being presented about Slavic people.

And attempting to sweep under the rug all racism not directed by whites against people of color does a diservice to all people. Racism against Jews in Europe e.g. is a growing problem, and the problem stems mainly from other minorities not white Europeans.

Racism in Europe is also simply not centered on skin color. It looks like that to the uniniated, but it is far more about culture. Skin color is often just incidental. It is not like, the more brown you are the more you get disliked. Almost all racist groups in Europe today direct their anger primarily against muslims. All anti-immigration parties are primarily focused on Islam.

The more muslim looking clothes you wear, the more likely you will be subject to prejudice. A light colored guy which looks muslim will face more discrimination than a darker colored person which looks westernized.

Thus the American idea that you can judge racism by the shade of your skin color is just not applicable to European conditions.

And that is just Europe. Racism has its own complexities in Asia. I am married into an Asian-Canadian family and being e.g. Japanese in China is not something you would want to be. The skin color may look all the same to an American, but again skin color is not what determines the racism.
