“The US is the only country in the world that classifies its citizens.”
That is not quite true. But I have noticed that traditionally “white” countries are the only countries that have large amounts of “races” in them. Most other countries in the world are mostly “mono-race”. Though many of them have conflicts between religious sects and tribes, most of which outsiders wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between.
How many non Mexican looking people do you see living in Mexico?
It’s not what people look like but their ethnicity. We again are the only hyphenated country. You don’t see Russian-Germans in Germany. You don’t see Turkish-Italians in Italy, etc. I’m talking government designated peoples as in the US.
