Ironic that you criticized the comment for hyperbole and then use the straws an fallacy to try to shoot it down. The comment did not claim that all 350 million people are racist. You just acted like it did so you could criticize it.

And yes, the US is an amazing country with far fewer racists than ever before. I agree with you there.
