I never feel qualified to get into those discussions, because I've never seen or experienced racism--let's face it, I'm one of the "privileged." I firmly believe that people should be treated like people no matter what they look like; and despite my lack of experience with it, I'll never deny that others do experience these things.

I am curious about the last sentence of your secret. By it, did you mean that, no matter if the viewpoint is racist or not, it is only accepted if it's from an American? Or did you mean something else? (I'm sorry if that was worded poorly; I couldn't figure out how else to ask that question.)

I think they meant that the discussions they've encountered have involved issues of race as viewed through an American lens; the US has a particular history of oppressing certain racial and ethnic groups in specific ways, and other parts of the world do not share that same baggage, so discussions of racism against, for instance, people of African descent in Scandinavia or Japan would look very different than discussions of racism in the US.
