Of course, all Europeans/everyone else just have passports.

America just haven't figured out that system yet.

This is a thread discussing a rule concerning the US.
If you live in another country, your experience regarding getting an ID is entirely irrelevant to this thread.

Yes. It is a US problem. US state agencies have been racist (as a way to hide being in open class warfare against the poor) from their inception. The country was built on invasion and slavery, and grew more progressive about human rights over time.

The US has been in a "pretend we fixed it all so we don't have to fix anything further" phase for decades now.

The current (class warfare strategy) is passing harsh laws that are difficult (occasionally impossible) to comply with, and then selectively enforcing them using skin color and wealth.
