It should not,but as has been observed,[by Americans] in the US everything is about race.

I'm not sure the 'why' matters too much,but the 'what' does.

Lest you think I'm being self righteous:

when I was about 14,my Canadian-born mother observed that the y reasons Australia does not have the same racial problems as the US is lack of numbers of black people in the early days of settlement. We also had the white Australia policy until 1972.

We DID however treat the indigenous people far worse then the US. EG we believed for many years that we had succeeded in killing ALL of the aborigines on the island state of Tasmania. In some places , Aborigines were hunted and killed for sport. (last recorded incident was in 1920)

No, it is not. Everybody knows Bill Clinton was the first black president.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

I'm not claiming to have made it up. I heard it from a comedian somewhere.

Yeah, well, I got it from John Hodgman, and he got it from Toni Morrison.
