I do believe this to be true. Which is why, and I say this as an European, the discourse on "racism", ethnicity and xenophobia is very different in EU and USA.
Or, it SHOULD be, but online it's a mess and some people (both European themselves and Americans) use US parameters to discuss xenophobia in European countries and NAH. WHAT?!

What annoys me so much is how a lot of Americans (and fellow Europeans who spend too much time on US social media and just parrot stuff blindly) take Europeans saying "your US-centric racism/xenopohia issues don't exactly apply in my country/region we have different issues than you" to mean "lol we don't HAVE racism problems here".

There are also a lot of online Europeans who flat out say that racism is an American thing and we don’t have racism here. So I can see where people get confused.

+1. Yep. It happens. Usually it's racist/xenophobic Europeans who do that. Often it's people who just want to point out that "our racism" is different than "American racism TM" (which is true), but they do it very clumsily, thus ending up denying the existence of xenophobia as a whole in their own European country.

Shit is complicated. And discussing these issues on shitty SNS like twitter isn't doing anyone any favour. :/
