That's right.

I mean, I think, like, certainly...

like other countries have their own problems.

They, they would call it nationality instead of racism.

So in the UK, they think they don't have a racism problem, but get these packies out of here, you know, which is, you know, so it's like, get these, get these Arabs out of here.

We don't have a racism problem, but I don't want to live next to a, to a Muslim.

You know what I mean?

So I think it's named different things.

Nationality does a lot of the work of racism in other countries, but I would also say specifically in America, uh,

We built the country on racism, like literally.

First, let's get rid of the Native Americans, as many as we can, and push the other ones out into places we don't want to be.

And then let's have Black people do some of the major economic work to get this country started.

And let's bring in some Chinese people to help build the connective tissue in the railroads.

But also while we're here, we're also passing anti-Chinese laws.

So we need them here to build the railroad, but they also aren't allowed to live here, which is a weird thing.

Yeah.

And so it's the country was built on racism in a way that it also wasn't it wasn't that long ago.

So it's not like we can even go.

So that was a that was a millennia ago.

Like in China, you can go.
