As I am not an American I cannot comment but in the UK I believe real racism is not as prevalent as it was fifty years ago BUT certain groups portray it as being worse to get government money, increase their political influence or as a shield against legitimate criticism.
A few facts - the UK never had legal segregation like the US
In the US only 8% approx of AfroAmericans marry caucasians in the UK the figure is 48% approx. The UK Parliament abolished slavery in 1807 this was rolled out throughout the British Empire and enforced by the Royal Navy.
This is not to say racism does not exist in the UK it certainly does of all types white on black, black on white and black on black.
