The Fame Monster 4,554 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 This is just awful news to me since I live in Finland. I feel that a lot of people here live in their own little worlds which make them very close-minded. People who are highly educated are more open-minded because they travel a lot and meet people from other cultures. Me and my family have always travelled a lot and I've always been very interested in other cultures, so for me it's outrageous that people still get bullied here for their ethnicity. Just awful.

sampool 5,560 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I went to France once and discovered that’s they discriminate towards anyone who doesn’t speak their language, they get extra salty like their fries when you speak in English. Point is, in Europe it be like that sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing in Europe lately is being afraid or against anyone who’s poor. It has nothing to do with skin color. Believe me. In the US someone who is racist believes that a black person is worse just because he/she is black. That doesn’t happen here. But, take a poor African to some European country and suddenly “aporophobia” starts poping up. If a rich black person walks the streets or comes to their country, nothing happens.

Same with any race or country. "If there’s something in Europe is not racism towards black people. The only thing in Europe lately is being afraid or against anyone who’s poor. It has nothing to do with skin color. Believe me": and how would you know, since you're not black? you can't say something doesn't exist when it doesn't affect you at all, you've never lived it, been through it, or felt it. When you make these affirmations, you're doing even more damage to black people, because if we were to follow your logic, black people who say that they experience racism in Europe are lying. "In the US someone who is racist believes that a black person is worse just because he/she is black. That doesn’t happen here.": Plus, your conception of what a racist person is is very limited, racism is more nuanced and insidious than that, and there are a lot of degrees to it. "If a rich black person walks the streets or comes to their country, nothing happens": racism does not have to be exteriorised, people can be racist quietly. And money doesn't prevent you from it. Money makes people treat you better, that goes for all people, but thinking racist thoughts or being a suck-up to a black rich person while quietly thinking the worst of them is still racism.

Many straight up tell you they don't and refuse to pass you on to a colleague that does or something, I've even had this with PayPal.de and other websites. Not to mention rl.

Same with any race or country. There are millions of people in Europe who view black people as inferior, your post doesn't really make a lot of sense. Pretending that racism against black people in Europe does not exist, is part of the problem. You are literally invalidating the experience of actual black people in Europe who participated in this study. You are literally telling the 5800 black people of Europe that participated in this that everything said is unreal and buffoonery just because you said so.
