More racist: United States or Europe?

So watchu talking about?



To be honest, those people probably just saw you as an American, and if they were interested in knowing about the States it's probably to see if the idea they have about it is really the truth. Remember, us Europeans have been getting a steady diet of Bush/Palin/Romney, read crazy stories about anti-abortion extremists, Creationists, NRA and shyt, so some may want to know how fukkups like those are even possible. If you're colored, they're more likely to ask YOU about it, because those things are (rightly or not) generally associated with white americans. It's like it's actually "safer" to ask you than a white american.

To answer, first of all it's stupid to compare a continent to a country, but I the impression that some people really believe Europe is a country

So obviously you have VERY different realities, due to some countries being closer to Africa/the Arab world, some countries having a colonial history, some countries having better economies than others. I think you will encounter some "light" racism in looking for a job/appartment, in certain bars or whatever, but the guys who are full-out racist (not many) are out there in the open. But to be honest, I've been in Europe (France, Belgium, Italy, travelled to Spain, Poland, Estonia, Croatia, Netherlands, UK) for 16 years and only have like four-five clear racists events, and that shyt wasn't even threatening, just annoying.

I think a BIG difference between Europe and the US is that even through slavery, the Black Man has been part of the scenery for centuries in the US. GRanted, through slavery and discrimination, but Black people were always there. On the contrary, there were like NO black people in some European countries until like 30 years for some, even less for others. So even though there is racism in the US, i don't know, I get the feeling that it's different than here where the fact of being black is still very much a novelty. Not sure if my point is clear tho.

i was in norway with two black friends(americans) and 2 white guys (americans)usually the white guys would get all the questions about america and how it was like when it came to politics,living conditions,they asked the black guys about rap and "gangster shyt" lol they kept talking about 2pac and biggie

Another interesting fact about russians is that the majority have mongolian blood somewhere down the line from when the Mongols ran through russia. This is why russian women have a real distinct asiaticesque look compared to western europeans. If you are brolic in europe i think you'll have a lot less problems with demonic bigots then if you look fragile and weak.

The bolded. You have to realize most of the racists are cowards, and they look for prey. Odds are if you are built like T.O. or Ray Lewis, nobody will try, where as if you're built like Stephon Urkel, stay in tourist areas, or get your knife game up

P.S. Russian women should have a thread on the real. My first white chick was a Russian I think it's a three way tie between Russian, Italian, and Romanian for GOAT white women:

Ethnic white women Got me thinkin' about going back to Costanza next summer
