Eh. I've seen the term used before but labelling UK racism as more polite isn't the right word for it. More passive aggressive and disingenuous? Sure, but categorising it as polite risks portraying our racism as lesser when really it's just different. There are surely better ways to highlight the difference in racism between the US and UK than using levels of politeness.

As a mixed-race person born in the UK in the early 1960s, my experience is that racism in the UK has just gone more underground in my lifetime. Laws introduced make the blatant and open racism that was once an overt feature British a now potentially criminal offence with according punishments. However, this doesn’t mean it or the racists have gone away. They just have to be covert, clandestine and closet. With the recent arrival of refugees and asylum seekers on the South Coast, “clandestine racism” which I think is a better term, barely remains clandestine. “Polite” is, in my opinion, the wrong word. There can never be anything polite about such a disgusting and destructive trait.

Well it wasnt a reality for british people. The rich and ruling class made money off the back of slaves; many would have had them on foreign shores; but not the normal british people. Where as in america, slavery was very much a part of the culture; even though most americans disnt have slaves; the culture and cultural affects around slavery and race related social hierarchy were in effect on the very building of america. To imply that as a population, there were similar links, and affiliations and impacts, related to historical slavery; that is simply fanciful.

The US is a more racist society then the UK. That's not even a close call. However, it is true that on times we don't recognise that racism, especially at the moment. Our national prejudices are writ large, xenophobia and racism played a massive part in Brexit. But generally, it is more polite, less in your face and less aggressive. I always find it odd when people in the UK say they prefer American racism because, "you know where you stand', as though the more subtle, more "polite" racism doesn't exist.
