"Denied the right to vote in a world where anywhere else they would have been denied membership in the human race."

Latin America had slaves too bub. And they were variously better or worse about it than the US (Brazil had slavery longer for instance). But yeah the racism was more or less the same, not horrifically worse.
As for women we got suffrage for them at a good time (beat the UK to it haha), but we were far from the first. So again, super mega wrong.

If I can be frank here... its a hallmark of being smart if you think of a concept like "US having women's votes when no one else did". And then go "Hmm, did we? Let me go see."
And its a hallmark of something else to just state it without doing any research, or even thinking about it.
