Things that are so obvious and ingrained that no one even thinks about them.

Here’s a few:

All US americans can go to Mexico EASILY. You’re supposed to have a passport but you don’t even need one (for car/foot crossing). Versus, it’s really hard for Mexicans, who aren’t wealthy, to secure a VISA to enter the US. I’m sure there are corollaries in other geo-regions.

Another one is wealthy countries having access to vaccines far ahead of “poor” countries.

In US, we might pay lip service to equal child-hood education but most of the funding pulls from local taxes so some kids might receive ~$10000 in spending while another receives $2000. I’m not looking it up at the moment, but I’m SURE there are strong racial stratas.

    One very normalized thing that always infuriates me is the way news headlines report on major disasters. It's always "Plane crashes in China, TWO AMERICANS DEAD", "Nuclear explosions blows up populated city, four Britons confirmed missing", like bitch all the people on that plane and in that city were valuable humans with valuable lives, not just people with the same colour passport as me.
