Agreed. Especially as a Jew, the growing brazeness of Nazis in Europe makes me very wary of Europeans making critiques of the American racial landscape (which, granted, is ugly and not likely to improve soon).

In my lifetime, we've gone from the top rated show on television being the Dukes of Hazzard to legitimately discussing the retirement of the confederate flag. Gays can marry, Americans are actually giving a shit about women's soccer, we've had two female secretaries of state, one of which is running for president for the second time and a trans woman is on the cover of Vanity Fair.

Never say never.

Not to nit pick (because your point is well taken), but don't forget Madeline Albright! She was a trailblazer. (Unless you're forgetting Condi Rice, because you're trying to block her out.)

Condi was one of the lizard people from V. She doesn't count.
