I maintain, however, that racism in the US Sunbelt is much, much more virulent and dangerous than European racism. First, most Europeans would be quite surprised that white Americans view Mexicans as nonwhites --it's as if Spaniards, Sicilians and Greeks were billed non-Europeans by the rest of Europe! So far, only post-fascist Gianfranco Fini has called Sicilians "Africans".... After all, Mexicans --unlike Muslim (North-)Africans-- write and speak a European/white language (Spanish) and are overwhelmingly Catholic.

Oh give me a break. Northern Europeans have looked down their noses at Greeks and Italians for decades. It wasn't Spain and Greece that were the founders of the EU, it was the nordic powerhouses like Brit and Germany with the Latin country of France thrown in as the token. You forget the US apes the biases that Europeans have toward each other.
