You still see white faces in high places. That's why Europe and America are Israel's greatest supporters - they want an ethnosate in the middle east.

That's why you aren't going to ever see an Ethiopian Prime Minister. Now you're right, race isn't exactly like it is in the US. It actually reminds me more of colorismo in Latin America, where racial prejudice is based more on how dark your skin is than being clear cut along racial lines. Light skinned Asians get to have this privilege in the racial majority.

But there is a racial component to Israel's apartheid regime and its unlimited support from Europe and America, and you have to acknowledge this.
