Uncritical American Leftists (and Europeans when they want to look down on America) say that all the time, holding up Europe as the epitome of what America should be. There’s no straw man there. It’s especially bad when you’re talking to somebody spouting that nonsense, and ask them how the Europeans feel about Romanis. Suddenly it’s not racism, it’s realism.
For the record, I lean left on most issues.
Edit: Wow, there’s already someone saying it elsewhere in this very comment section!
Except you ignore the fact that people in Poland don’t give a shit what color you are, they’re there to buy a product. Nobody goes “oh let’s get the one with the black girl on it”, it’s just the logo. Nobody gives a shit if the owner is black, white, yellow, red, blue, ya know, the way it should be in a world that sees no color, only actions.
“There is no racism in the EU”
Nobody says that. Literally nobody. It’s just a strawman you made up.
Racism exists literally everywhere where humans live.

But yeah the US should try to be a bit more like Europe lol
I think this is preferable to the American version though.
There sure is, but mostly it manifests itself differently than in the US.
“Yanks will try to find racism in fucking blackboards”
WTF is racist about this? Only a white person would decide this is offensive
It’s a bunch of white people profiting off a caricature of a black person. If this was a black owned company, I might see your point.

If the logo was white, and their profits went down, I’d believe you
Fuckin hell, you don’t have to be offended at everything just because your parents were too busy working to pay you any attention 😂
