  • Possibly because Americans as a general group are more diverse than any other country and so run into the “doesn’t look like me, might be scary” conflict more often…

    That being said, every country has this. From France giving their black players a whole bunch of racist shit, to the Greeks killing refugees that don’t look like them through negligence, to the Germans who still shit all over the Romani people for having a different appearance/culture.
    It’s not a unique feature to the US.

    As for using colors to describe people based on their skin tone… Every language does it as far as I can tell. I don’t understand why you find that odd. It can be a useful descriptor and if you want to be shade specific, you’re more than welcome to.
