This will shock people, but America is not all that racist by world standards. Talk to someone from Asia for starters.

I’m not aware of anywhere with no racism. Humans are tribal and broad stereotypes are intellectually lazy but easy.

I’m not shocked. I also don’t believe that “not as bad as…” is the same as “not a real problem.”

Getting stabbed twice in the side missing a major organ/artery isn’t as bad as getting shot twice in the heart, but both are very serious and painful.
