I'm a mauritian citizen and I can tell you that they do it to us too because there is a lot of drug mules coming from the big continent. Do understand that they are doing their job and you are destroying the name of my country by not knowing why they do that. Those guys who are on this video, they do know how the mauritian law is strict on Drugs abuse and illegal substances. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR JOB TOO WHICH IS INVESTIGATE PROPERLY INTO THE MATTER RATHER TAHN MAKING YOUR OWN STATEMENT WHITHOUT KNOWING WHATS IS THE REASON OF SUCH BEHAVIOR.

Was in Mauritius July 2022. I have quite a number of Mauritian friends and colleagues. The country is quite expensive. A taxi anywhere jist keeps calling 2000 MRp and am like seriously. I didn’t have any issue on the airport. My hotel was really cool at Mon choizy, the owner of the resort was really nice with her family, even made me biyrani and was kind to drop me off at an appointment Centre I had… cost of living is extremely high reason a lot of locals run to Seychelles to work.

The lesson I learnt from my bad experience in Nairobi was that one needs to know when and where to go and how to go. And basically be smarter.

I hate to say this since I don't consider myself an emotional person. I"m Kenyan: three friends and myself have been planning for the whole year to spend Christmas week in Mauritius. After watching this video, I'm completely turned off and plan to ask my friends if we can cancel and save money by just picking a resort on the Kenyan Coast which can be just as good depending on the class. I know most people would say it's better to go and see for yourself, but I think I've seen enough. Being on the receiving end of racism is a soul-crushing experience. There are countries in Europe I will never set foot in again after bad experiences with racism and discrimination.

@@georgey-b6080 Only from personal experience. I have never felt more looked down upon, or even despised, for just my appearance as a black man than I did travelling separately in Finland, Austria and Hungary. It wasn't overt or stated directly but a series of irregular incidents in public just added up until I came to the realisation these things were happening because of the colour of my skin. And I'm telling you it's not a good feeling because I felt so powerless, especially since I'm not used to facing discrimination. My only consolation was I was in those countries for brief moments, and couldn't get out fast enough. I also understand there are black people who had good experiences in those countries but personally, I will not be returning even if I'm offered free Champions League tickets in those locations.

Glad you had a more pleasant experience, but maybe you need to use your "pleasant" influence to try to change this narrative for so many others that are traumatized. Also, how about trying to speak to the fact that he mentioned the discriminatory practice of only allowing Nigerians a maximum 14-day stay... in a non-visa country? That can't be "friendly and respectful" in your opinion, is it?

@@LosAngelesMade In the U.K. unfortunately this happens frequently where Africans have more reverence for white people. So it’s not a stretch that this would occur on the African continent. I wish they would get their economies sorted so there wouldn’t be this occurring. There was some clip in the U.K. where a Chinese man got into an altercation with two African women and it got racial. He said you people have everything walk on gold, oil, diamonds and yet you always pandering and begging white people. It ended with him getting stomped but there was truth in what he said sadly.

I dont think we should force people to identify themselves as african if they dont want to, its their loss anyway. The reason why alot of africans dont want to identify themselves as african is because we are the lossing team at the moment, we on the bottom and nobody wants to admit they are part of the losing team. What we need to do is unite as africans and build our households, neighbourhoods, communities, towns, cities, provinces, countries and ultimately the entire african continent. Trust me when we start winning they will want to be african all of a sudden but it will be too late for them based on their current filthy actions and bad attitudea towards us.

Mauritius is the WORST country i have ever visited as an African. I was on a business trip traveling with colleagues from South Africa (all white). On landing from Johannesburg, i was singled out from the Immigration queue taken to a room and interrogated on purpose of my travel. Made to log on to my laptop to ascertain it was a work laptop, my luggage searched by the rudest Immigration lady. That was oct 2019. It took the intervention of my colleagues to have me released. I've never been so traumatized. Listening to this just triggered that experience . Africans do not dare. Hotel treatment mirrors Immigration. Terrible place. Mindset. Just horrible

If your mates are black, they may still experience some racism in those places. There are levels to these things. I don't think there is any country in the world that does not (on some level) believe in racial superiority and inferiority. Italy and Malta are more used to a variety of tourists though, but heard stories of racism in both and experienced it myself in Malta, although a long time ago and not from everyone , so I'm assuming they've progressed by now.

I'm a Nigerian married to a Mauritian woman of Creole /Indian descent. Her mother is Indian and father Creole. What you have observed is exactly as it is in Mauritius. The order of hierarchy is - the French whites (live in exclusive regions such as Le Morne), the Indians come second and occupy predominantly top government positions and the Creole (usually of Afro descent) are at the bottom of everything. Well, at least, they often console themselves with Sega music.

Social hierarchy is not based on race but on money, education and competence/useful knowledge. I am pretty sure people living in Ikoyi and banana island are not racist towards people living in makoko slum. I am pretty sure rich white people in South Africa are not racist towards por white people living in the slums in SA. Not every social discrepancy is based on racism. When black millionaire meet white millionaire they don't talk about race. Racism is for people living on the "bottom" and for prisons not for elites haha. And if you think Mauritius is racist go to places like Japan or Middle east. And I will end it with this, titles and topics like this are helping multiracial elites to keep dividing the common people "peasants". It is one of the oldest game plans in the book, divide and conquer! Turn blacks against whites, turn men against women and turn democrat against republican. Now it will be harder for them to unite. EASY! While people in the middle and at the bottom are distracted arguing about race and who is more privileged they are becoming richer and richer. It's actually embarrassing how easy we make it for them... PEACE! And racism is judging someone solely based on his race. Racism is not one race having more money than another race. Money you have is based on competence/usefulness and not race. Nobody is going to give you money or job because of you skin, that is a fairytale hhh. And when it comes to being treated different by government officials specifically airports and police officers. We have to take it in to consideration and aknowlage that blacks on average commit more crime than other races. I know this is unfortunate for honest law abiding black people, but humans recognising patterns helped us survive in the wild for thousands of years. The best thing you can do as an individual is to "beat" the stereotype and show them you are not part of the statistics. This is how you actually change the narrative in healthy realistic way. Much LOVE to all my "common" people out there!

Upon my arrival in Mauritius in 2019, my experience was marred by an unfortunate incident. While my wife, who is German, had arrived a day earlier, I was detained for a prolonged four-hour period at immigration. I underwent a thorough search, including the removal of my clothes. The situation escalated when an officer even brandished handcuffs, which I found so absurd that I couldn't help but laugh. However, the situation took a turn when my phone rang, and it was my wife calling. As soon as she entered the immigration office, the atmosphere shifted dramatically. Suddenly, everyone became apologetic and accommodating. Despite my attempts, displaying pictures of our marriage didn't initially alleviate their suspicion. It was only when they saw my wife in person that they swiftly released me. This encounter highlighted a disheartening level of racism that deeply affected me.

Most of it was very subtle racism and in all honesty I think that’s worse than someone being out right racist. It’s a shame because it’s such a beautiful country with beautiful views and scenes. Don’t get me wrong it’s not everyone that will treat you this way but I travelled with an English white person and he was treated a lot better than myself.

Very sad to hear this, Steven. Unfortunately, as a Mauritian, I can attest to the small-mindedness of Mauritian people, and how their behaviour many times is based on negative, and outdated stereotypes. I think especially the staff at the airport need to be trained and educated about African visitors, and how to treat them in a polite and professional way. Even as a Mauritian man, If I am travelling alone and coming back to Mauritius, I'm always singled out for secondary screening of my baggage. We have to do better, but it takes a lot to breakthrough the remnants of the colonial mindset in Mauritius. To be honest, what I encourage expats to do there is just build a vibrant community of expats and to socialize among themselves, adding the occasional Mauritian with the right mindset. Most Mauritians are a lost cause unfortunately. As for the Creole population, it's tough but they are finding ways to become successful in specific avenues and industries such as construction.

As a Nigerian diaspora (now a Canadian citizen) I believe the African leadership is responsible for our ordeal when it comes to racism. It seems like no where is safe especially if you are Nigerian or black African. Then, you see our stupid leader continue to run down African countries, while they send their kids to stupid in other countries, where their children continue to experience racial profiling. It's our leadership fault, it's their responsibility to fix this. I've learned over time that racism is more of poverty and negative media than our appearance as black Africans. Take a look at Japanese people, how often do you see them talking about racial profiling in today's world? People of Mauritius do not look better than other Africans, yet, they racially profile other Africans. Think about this folks.

Clearly, you don’t have a clue about racism if you’re blaming the targets of racism. African countries as a whole experience racism from other nations. It’s far deeper than what we see today it goes back to slavery/colonialsim. It’s so bad we even do it to each other.

What I picked up on here was not racism, but rather discrimination. I too am black and from an African country, and let's be honest guys, some of our countrymen are not representing us well out there - mainly drugs, scams, crime and illegal immigration. Mauritius has seen the downfall happen to other African countries due to lax laws and are not prepared to endure the same and I commend them for this, especially as a top tourist destination. This is not to say that western, predominantly white, countries citizens are angels - they are not, but somehow their underhandedness is not so in your face. So my feeling is, as black Africans we have only ourselves to blame for noone wanting us. Unfortunately, Africa is comprised of mainly black people, so I believe all black people, irrespective of which country or continent they actually come from, will be regarded with suspicion. I have also had the pleasure of working with Mauritians and have found them to be super friendly and intelligent.

I’ve been to Mauritius, and didn’t experience any of these things. I had a wonderful time and was treated like a queen. That said, I possess an American passport and I stayed in one of the top 5 star resorts on the island. Many locals thought I was Mauritian, as I have mixed heritage and spoke to me in creole. Because of this I was often asked my nationality because Mauritians don’t earn enough money to stay in 5 star resorts. Lol! I had a wonderful experience overall, and I felt at home and was treated as a local. I did have the opportunity to speak with some Mauritians of African descent during my trip. They all expressed discrimination, especially socially. I wasn’t happy to hear this. There is a difference in Mauritius between blacks of African descent and blacks of mixed creole heritage. With many people preferring creole heritage, as it represents the deep cultural history of the island. After seeing this video, I think being black in Mauritius depends on what you look like, where you’re from, and how much money you have.

Social hierarchy is not based on race but on money, education and competence/useful knowledge. I am pretty sure people living in Ikoyi and banana island are not racist towards people living in makoko slum. I am pretty sure rich white people in South Africa are not racist towards por white people living in the slums in SA. Not every social discrepancy is based on racism. When black millionaire meet white millionaire they don't talk about race. Racism is for people living on the "bottom" and for prisons not for elites haha. And if you think Mauritius is racist go to places like Japan or Middle east. And I will end it with this, titles and topics like this are helping multiracial elites to keep dividing the common people "peasants". It is one of the oldest game plans in the book, divide and conquer! Turn blacks against whites, turn men against women and turn democrat against republican. Now it will be harder for them to unite. EASY! While people in the middle and at the bottom are distracted arguing about race and who is more privileged they are becoming richer and richer. It's actually embarrassing how easy we make it for them... PEACE! And racism is judging someone solely based on his race. Racism is not one race having more money than another race. Money you have is based on competence/usefulness and not race. Nobody is going to give you money or job because of you skin, that is a fairytale hhh. And when it comes to being treated different by government officials specifically airports and police officers. We have to take it in to consideration and aknowlage that blacks on average commit more crime than other races. I know this is unfortunate for honest law abiding black people, but humans recognising patterns helped us survive in the wild for thousands of years. The best thing you can do as an individual is to "beat" the stereotype and show them you are not part of the statistics. This is how you actually change the narrative in healthy realistic way. Much LOVE to all my "common" people out there!

​@@adewaleogunbajo6909I am a black South African, and I am happy to hear about your wonderful experience in SA. The crime situation is complicated, but we are beginning to see some stern action from the authorities, because everyone is complaining about it. We have different categories e.g. syndicate crimes (generally driven by foreigners), domestic violence (within households), contract killings (targeted at certain people in politics and other areas), gang violence in a few known areas in the country, and assaults in places like tarvens, where people get drunk. If you count these out, crime is not that bad. I've leaved in South Africa for more than 40 years, and I've never experienced any crime, and none of my family members. However, we are vigilant and know which areas to avoid.

Thanks for making this video Steven. It shows your maturity as a storyteller and filmmaker. My personal answer to your question is YES!! I visited Mauritius about 5 years ago. Even though I travelled on a European passport and was travelling with a group (I was the only black person in the group), I was profiled, singled out, separated from my group and subjected to a series of questions that bordered on suspicion as to my intentions. It took the bravery of one of my fellow travellers (white person) coming back to where I'd been detained to inform the officials that I was part of their group. Only then did they let me go. There were other incidents during that same trip that space will not let me recount here. I like to think of myself as open-minded and not one who quickly pulls out the racism argument when treated unfairly while travelling. But Mauritius showed me her colours and according to Maya Angelou, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Having said that, it is a beautiful country with lots of good points. All I can say is good luck to other black travellers intending to visit Mauritius.
