Reply to comment by 3wteasz in Racial diversity in top tech & biotech companies [OC] by teamongered

You say that American exceptionalism is an issue, but then proceeded to complain that we expose our racial inequalities. Wouldn’t the latter be an example of the opposite of exceptionalism?

Speaking of which, yeah sure Americans may think they’re the best, but Europeans think they’re better and smarter than Americans. You’re not any better than Americans in the “thinking you’re better” department and you guys smoke too much. So get off your high horse.

Sorry my man, I am not on a high horse for pointing out that Americans are on one.

Also, you're good at mixing up stuff and twisting words. I first complained about these graphs and about this constant need to point out racial differences and then, after being approached by this other dude with his exceptionalistic argument, said that his exceptionalism, the way they implied that the US society is without flaws, makes it hard for him to see my point. So I don't get your argument..

Edit: also, I hate speaking about "Americans", because my Mexican friends are totally different than the typical US-American we are talking here and I don't want to generalize in that way.
