Are you saying that Muslims are automatically seen as non-humans by “most Americans”?

This is ridiculous. Why would I care in the least about the prevailing religion in a country or region?

I never said it wasn't ridiculous.

Ask yourself what proportion of the American population the 45th president was pandering to with his 2017 Travel Ban [0].

It's incredibly depressing, especially whenever I visit friends/family back in the midwest. Like going back in time.

The US is the least racist country in the world, evident by the most multiculturalism found anywhere. There are rural farming towns with more religious and ethnic diversity and equality than Amsterdam.

You think there are rural towns in the US with 180 different nationalities living there? I would love it if you could name one.

Of course any claims of the US being "the least racist country" are obvious bullshit. Nobody believes that.
