....I love this site, but many people here seem to have not travelled very much.

Yes, the US and its dominant (not for long) culture may have plenty of problems - but the more I travel (60% international travel yearly) the more I see that people in ALL countries (and all walks of life) display the same attitudes and violence that some think only occurs in the 50 US States.

I speak Korean and the comments I hear when walking around Seoul with my black coworker is astounding. The things said behind his back would cause riots if said in NYC....of course, he is sadly used to it by now and we mostly laugh (although I suspect it hurts him more than he lets on) about this crap.
