Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime looked to the United States racial policies and legal models as inspiration, particularly in the crafting of the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler himself praised the United States in his manifesto Mein Kampf for its racist immigration and nationality policies, and Nazi lawyers explicitly referenced American race law as a precedent for their own legislation. So, yeah, historically the United States is different from what Hollywood shows (the shock, I know).
For context:
Not to be that guy but that's literally closing in on almost 100 years ago.
The US might still have race issues but the US is definitely the most racially conscious country you could probably live in at the same time. Most countries don't have such a variety of cultures mixed together.
Just kind of an odd thing for you to throw out in the context of this picture. What about this post makes you think "ah yes, racism!"
Just look at Japan. It's been 100 years since they joined the wrong side of WWII, in part for racist reasons. Today, as a culture and generally speaking, not only are they horribly racist, they don't even acknowledge it as a problem. Even among Asians, they consider themselves the most superior Asian (read: whitest) race. Look at how they treat Koreans or Chinese throughout history.
China continues to try to purge Uyghurs. In fact, anti-indigenous racism seems to be an unfortunately global concept. Rwanda committed one of the worst genocides in history, purging a culture so similar to their own that it defies reason, and could only happen through decades of re-enforcement. A majority of European countries are so culturally isolated from each other than they barely understand what racism is.
A country that understands where the racism exists can take the first steps to fight against it. Most countries aren't even that far.
And yet, countries like the US and Canada are huge melting pots that understand what racism is, and has fought for centuries to push it back. Has the US solved racism? Fuck no! But, the topic is constantly in the foreground, always talked about, and one of the primary drivers of politics.

the most racially conscious country
Just like the politicians who always think about protecting the minors?
If you think pedophilia is strictly an American thing you're fooling yourself.
But politicians don't decide our culture. So not sure what you're on about trying to mental gymnastics into some random topic. The point still stands find another culture with more respect and understanding of each other's cultures.
It's really easy to point out the conflicts but millions of us live everyday together completely fine falling in love with each other's food, music, religion, family.
If you think the US is "racially conscious" then you've just fallen for the propaganda
The US is incredibly racist.
I have to travel to the US regularly.
I'd rather not
It's an awful place, and at its very core it's built on discrimination, exploitation, hate, theft, cruelty, genocide, bigotry and stupidity
But, these things are are somehow celebrated when they should be a source of shame
Ludicrous perspective.
I literally live here. In an area that is seeing some of the most diversity and a ton of immigrants, I work in a kitchen and have worked with people from all over the world from Thailand to Senegal, Venezuela to Iran, India to Australia.
I've had this conversation of American and racism for literally decades in my life of working with these people both having to inform them of inappropriate actions and just general discussions. There are communities from all over the world here.
A huge reason people think the US is racist is because they watch the media and think our constant conversation of race suggests it's a huge fucking issue. Most countries do not have the diversity our government has shown and the rise in racism in the US is because of this bullshit fear of "rEpLaCemEnt thEoRy" from the growing diversity.
Every country has racism, most don't talk about it especially at a level where their government has constant calls to face the music about it.

I do extended stay travel internationally for work. I am frequently in other countries and there is no shortage of their racism and discrimination.

"Can't, pants are full"
I don’t think that China and USA are big friends. Xi Jinping is the pure winner out of the whole geopolitical mess and keeps on damaging the US economy beautifully.
Putin is Putin and he made himself unpopular everywhere. He will never leave his bunkers again.
And Kimmy is just a 50 IQ potato who is happy to be talking to someone so famous such as Trump and probably always asks for a signature on a postcard.
Rich people in each of those countries are closer allies to each other than their own citizens.
It kinda sucks where we are at a stage where all the major powers are turning fascist and authoritarian. I mean whether the Chinese literally take over or not, it just... Sucks right now.
Now drop a big rock on the other side and launch those fuckers into space, chickity-ciao! 🚀🌞
Are you telling me global north now works together with the global north?
