It just goes to show that modern societies still have a long way to go. It's sad that modern societies have not been able to accept diversity in the 21st century.

I think we might be better than the US. But then again, the US is so big, it would vary so much across the entire country!

to be perfectly honest ur never gonna find 100% tolerance, not in this generation or the next. There are still going to be arrogant individuals everywhere. No matter where u go there is always a bad apple. UK or US.
