Column: If America isn’t a racist country, what about Hawaii and its institutions?

In his Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s joint address to Congress on April 28, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who is African American, proclaimed “America is not a racist country,” although Biden did not say it was. The next day, Vice President Kamala Harris, when asked about Scott’s assertion, agreed with him but also noted the “history of racism” in the U.S. and its contemporary prevalence. Biden also responded to Scott by remarking, “I don’t think the American people are racist. … I don’t think America is racist.”
