The US has a much higher tolerance for what in Europe would be considered pretty blatant racism.

Please expand. Nowhere in Europe has anything resembling the 4/5ths rule or Griggs vs Duke Power, no European country has a visible minority community as large as Blacks in the US, and no European country has a policy of discriminating on the basis of race in university admissions, to the best of my knowledge.

Not to mention, if The Golden Dawn tried to start a political party here, they would be laughed off the stage, not given 21 seats in the house.

I think the OP should point out to some actual studies about how much more blatantly racist Americans/America are/is than Europe/Europeans.
