The MidEast is especially prone to conspiracy theories ; gives them an excuse to not be introspective and admit to their faults.

Not remotely close to the US. The US (in general) does acknowledge their terrible historical relationship with African Americans and Native Americans.

There is also plenty of people who will chastise the US for its foreign policy. Even conservatives (in general) wouldn't support blatant racism and sectarianism , which is why Trump came in for a lot of heat from even conservatives for his soft criticism of the recent march.

I would imagine (from what I've read, although how much of that is deliberately narrowly focused I don't know -- fake news?) that limited parts of the US (or the US populace) hold attitudes similar to those broadly held in the ME.

Ah. Yeah, polarised views on some issues are unlikely to permit clarity on others.

I feel like one of those circus riders, going round in circles with one foot on one horse and the other on another. 'Cept mine are hobby horses (some might say high ones, at that).
