As a Black man who has traveled to over 100 countries, I agree and have experienced much of what is stated on this video, especially in Morocco and Italy. Christmas night, 2017, my wife and son had to walk three miles back to our hotel in Rome because no taxis would stop for us. But after thirty years of traveling the world, I’ve learn to expect it. However, what truly breaks my heart is when it occurs in African countries. Most notably South Africa, Botswana and Cameroon, I’ve had wait staff and hotel clerks pass me over to attend to white customers. I can handle racism from whites, Asians, middle-easterners and Latin people, I’ve been dealing with that all of my life. But when people of your own hue shit on you to appease whites, that’s particularly hurtful. But I’d like to end my comment on a positive note; the friendliest place that I have personally experienced as a person of color is The Gambia. Sweetest people on earth. The country is small, the people are poor but I have never felt more warmth anywhere else.

[@stanspb763]

None of those complaints were bad treatment. They could have rolled with it or they could guess it was some sort of slight, which almost assured that it was not. That was their internal demons and not the people who simply pointed at someone unique in their experience. Surely if they talked they would have found no illwill was intended. You probably point at celebrities in your own society. It means nothing in China other than "oh, look" and it might mean they thought the women were beautiful or maybe they were unique because most were overweight which is rare in Asia.

I was about to comment the same thing! I’ve lived in India on and off, and the patriarchal culture makes being a woman a rough experience. I have known many foreign women who have been groped, most of us have been cat called, and if you’re a foreigner....you’re getting ripped off and overpaying. The personal space bubble there is also non-existent if you are used to how far we stand apart in the west. They stand WAY too close. And the cutting in line is a real thing. From my perspective, they do this to everyone....especially if they have one item and you have 20, they walk in front of you. I have had several confrontations with people who felt the need to just step right in front of me, which the store staff found hilarious. It just made me so angry. Now I know it’s mostly cultural. Overall, it’s best to have some knowledge of the country and culture before going, and safest to travel with a buddy...though I’ve traveled solo there.

I am from India, and I can vouch for that. People here, despite being brown themselves are some of the most racist people you'll ever get to meet. However I really hope people are changing, but it will take a long time to change. People here are obsessed with fair skin, so much so that if you do not come under the fair skinned group, you will be looked down upon, and this is something that happens to the people who actually are Indians. We boast about being diverse and shit like that, but the people are so divided, it's shameful.

[@mgheichert]

How many Indians claim to be white unless they moved to the west where they can be given privileged status thanks to Affirmative Action? If NOT for white Christian men, slavery would still be common in most of the world. It was white men who ended slavery in our own countries then FORCED other races and races to end slavery in their countries. WE NEVER GAVE THEM A CHOICE. In INDIA doesn't CASTE still matter? instead of your fellow Indians YOU WORRY ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICANS WITH HURT FEELINGS? All these African Americans complaining about not being treated well but won't move to Africa to FREE the 10+ MILLION African slaves in Africa TODAY . Africans enslaved by Africans , sold to Africans and kept in Africa. Wouldn't FREEING those who are slaves TODAY be more important than complaining about slavery whites chose to end over 150 years ago?

Actually, i traveled in Morocco on my own. I spent a very good time. Even in your own country you have weirdos. In Marocco, when you're a tourist you're very protected, man or woman. If you are bothered by someone, go to the police, but be careful, as a tourist the police can put the person bothering you easily in jail for 3 months for a simple argument with a tourist. So be fair in your complaints. The Moroccan government lives off of tourism, tourists are an asset for the country, so they don't want their people to misbehave. In the airport, they also give you gifts for you to have a good stay ect...i went to Marrakech, ouarzazat, ozode, ourika, the Sarah desert, everywhere I went I was welcomed and spent a great time, one of my best trips. I also went solo in Tunisia, in Djerba, it was an extraordinary experience, the beaches are to die for. People are amazing there too, good memories and same as Morocco for tourist, tourism is a big part of the economy there too, and tourists safety is key there also. I never felt unsafe in Tunisia. I live in Paris, grew up in France and sometimes, i feel unsafe here 😩😩 i also feel unsafe when i go to Germany, where my brother and his little familly live because of my skin colour.

[@littlehouseinthebigapple5716]

@@brianlawson4368 yeah…. There are a lot of different reasons people get treated different ways. It’s not as simple as one aspect. I definitely oversimplified my comment (as this is the interwebs). 99% of the 30 or so black women I personally know who’ve been to Italy had an experience similar to mine. But a couple had a hard time. In general, being a “glamorous “ American is a “benefit”. But look at Oprah, when she’s in Europe she’s often treated badly…. She “looks” African. I am extremely light skinned with a red Afro… I get treated *very well. It’s not a compliment to me, tho… it’s still based on inherent racism. If I am treated like a start but Oprah, an actual superstar is treated poorly, we are still talking about the same problems of racialization. There’s also just random interactions people have that can be nationally based… America is not super popular right now… I’m in Europe several times a year for the past 25 years and I’ve seen a shift in how people react to my nationality over time. Anyway… this is a book at this point. I don’t negate anyone’s lived experiences

[@littlehouseinthebigapple5716]

@@brianlawson4368 I mean, that’s interesting…. I’ve been all those places you’ve been and all over Italy. I really enjoyed Rome and most folks I know had a great time there. But tbh, your comment makes sense sociologically. I usually think that in Europe they have the biggest problems with the “colored folk” they know or are closest to. My German husband grew up being told all the crime in his town was due to Turkish guest workers who moved there after the war. They get talked about and treated like black people in America. In southern Italy they are super close to Africa and so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were more racist towards black people in that region. My sis and I were in Northern Italy once and messed up a train transfer and ended up on the Swiss border. We didn’t have our passports on us (as we weren’t intending on leaving Italy that day… it was before EU) so we were stuck till a return train was coming… till dawn. There was an African mom with her little boy and she got fully searched by border agents… all her bags and things, treated like a criminal when it’s clear she’s just a mom… nobody else got searched and there were like 20 people waiting to go back. But I think what ppl are talking about is aggregate experiences, meaning on average how are people treated in this country. I know the country in a whole has a reputation of being extremely racist to gypsies, but as many many people say, black Americans often (qualified statement since not ALL do) enjoy Italy.

There were around 7-8 people in the buffet getting breakfast, myself included, and a hotel staff comes straight towards me (the only black person at the buffet) and asks: "what is your room number?" I was struggling to remember the room number from the shock and I turned and asked my (German, white) partner who is across the breakfast room for it. She immediately says "oh, it doesn't matter", and walks away.

We visited the zoo, where the peacock was walking around free, cawed at us and wouldn't let us pass, until we had to get in the middle of a group of White people.

[@StephaniePerry]

Exactly!

[@ArabellaCharm]

I hated Australia. The Microagression was through the roof. I studied in Melbourne and worked at Ashley and Martin hair clinic. On a surface level it was ok. However, if you had to interact with anyone they would let you have it! "Yo!", "Are you a gangster?", "how much", "why do you like champagne thrown on your head?" Etc...etc..etc. They call their racism "taking the piss". At least in the US there are laws, but in Australia there is nothing and no one stands up with you. I left and won't look back.

[@tomexlfc]

@@ArabellaCharm In US, there are laws but in Australia, there is nothing?? What year were you in Australia again? The 60s or 70s? And btw, Melbourne is way more diverse and welcoming compared to the likes of Sydney, Tassie, Adelaide, Brisbane or Perth.

[@tdmcclai]

I have a black friend who was actually born and raised in Australia (shocker!) She is now raising two black daughters now and I don't know how they do it. If I have to deal with racism I'd prefer to do in a country where there are more black people to build community with. Once while visiting I was hanging out with her toddler and this white lady came up to me and straight up, "What is she?"

[@belvedere92]

Go to Kenya. I went in 1992 with my wife and son and if you have any interest in the lives of other societies and also in animals Kenya was superlative. At each hotel and safari lodge we will engage the help to understand what their lives were like and they were open with us about the good and the bad. The wild life was astounding. I can never forget that on my first day on safari I counted 30 entirely distinct species of animals. 2007 I visited Ghana and I paid more attention to the lives of the people and their histories. Both countries were exceptional. I live in the Caribbean which has its easy-going charms, little in the way of wild animals, but great sea life.

Several years ago when I was still employed a woman from Hungry joined the staff. She was placed in my team but not assigned to me for training, however the staff member whom she was assigned to (who was white) refused to train her, after watching her just sitting there for several days without being trained, I asked her to sit with me, after teaching her for a week, she confessed to me that she was warned by the folks in Hungry to stay away from and not to become friends with black people. She said I have been in this company for two weeks and was shocked to find that the only black person on the team was the one who showed her any respect.

I left my wallet in a cab in Shanghai once. Went into a hotel that I wasn't staying at to have drinks at a rooftop bar. About 30 minutes later the hotel staff came up to me and asked what my name was ( I still didn't realize I didn't have my wallet) - then the cab driver appeared and handed me my wallet with everything still inside. I tried giving him a huge tip and he politely refused. On the flip side, I had some issues with overzealous vendors in China that left a really bad taste in my mouth. Moral of the story? Judge the individual not the country.

But I remember clearly going into a boutique and ladies laughing at me as I was shopping. But when they find out you’re an American singer, your privilege kicks in! I was like wow, y’all are really out there with the rudeness and racism. I saw how they treated Africans and was appalled. Overall, I loved Italy but these few encounters were unpleasant.
