Failing to care is failing to recognize it as a problem.

Its not just white people. And its not just America. People of all colors are racist everywhere in the world.

I mean you're not wrong, but in the context of Ferguson and Michael Brown and Darren Wilson and the ongoing media shitstorm, focusing on white America and the orders of magnitude by which our particular brand of racism extends over most other types of racism in the developing world is not missing the target.
And if people like derpcake actually said the same things in real life as they do under the anonymity of internet message boards, the problem would be so much easier to manage. We would know who the enemies are. We would know precisely where the problem is, even if we don't know quite how to deal with it yet. If people were actually that honest about their racism, I doubt we'd have much of a problem at all.
