The Progressive Case for Patriotism

What was said

"The best way to measure racial discrimination is through callback studies, sending resumes to employers that are identical except for racially coded names. One of the largest ever callback studies found that Europeans exhibited more racial discrimination against black people than Americans did."

The speaker argues that comparative data shows America is among the most racially progressive societies globally, citing callback studies showing Europeans discriminate more against black people than Americans. He also notes the US elected a black president while most Latin American countries with African-descended populations have not, and highlights that tolerance surveys show America is far more progressive than Africa and the Middle East.
