I'm genuinely curious--in what areas is the US lagging the Netheralnds or any other nation in tolerance?

As far as Bill Clinton is concerned, the way he was hounded over his sex life by Inspector Javert (a/ka/ Ken Starr), I'd say he'd be in the "America is intolerant" camp!

Inspector Javert
A Poem
by Meri Gilliatt
Dedicated to the Seine

Inspector Javert with his big bushy hair
and side burns down his chin.
He likes Justice not Mercy
He believes mercy is a sin
He dedicated his life to capturing Jean Valjean
But he didn't accomplished his goal
(there was only one)
So he ended his life by jumping in the river
The cold water made him shiver
We love you Javert!
With your big bushy hair.
Don't do it! Don't do it!
Well, he really blew it.
And wow! What a splash!
