The global population would be considered far-right by american standards. Particularly on LGBTQ matters and racism.

Racism is probably true, but the vast majority of the world is strongly ethnically homogeneous within country borders, so their racism isn’t as politically charged as ours is, because it’s simply not a matter of domestic policy for them.

LGBTQ matters have varying degrees of acceptance around the world and Europe and the collective west are in front of it all, but that downplays the fact that LGBTQ acceptance has been rising nearly everywhere in the world with the exception of fundamentalist religious states.
