In fact Canadians and the British and even the French think that the USA is a more racist nation than they are.
Your problem I think lies in how you define racism. You limit it to bigotry. In the USA, Canada, the UK and France. What is more important implicit bias and institutional racism. Open bigotry is the province of the sad and the pathetic and so can be ignored.
All the laws and constitution of the USA. Canada, UK and France (which explicitly prohibits any mention of ethnicity or religion) do not protect against implicit bias or institutional racism. Because if it did we wouldn't have all of these demands for diversity or movements like Black Lives Matter, or even the assorted ethnic based caucuses in the House. Or the many ethnic movements in all 4 countries.
I do not care what they think if I know what they do and have defensive tools to use to fight back. That is all I care about/
