RE: RACISM: A RE-OCCURING MENACE AMONG EMPLOYEES AND BUSINESS CLIENTS

in Project HOPE4 years ago

Hi @franyeligonzalezh

it's true most of the time it's against black people or people of color

I highly disagree. Most of the time so called "whites" are to concern, educated or simply worried to show any sign of racism towards dark skin citizens. At the same time the other way around there are usually no bounderies.

Reality is, that there is very little chance to witness any sort of racism coming to europe (example) as an African, comparing to situation when as a caucasian I would come to Africa (you will witness racism towards you over and over again). And everyone seem to be okey with it.

I even once almost lost a good job, because I called one of my co-worker "black mate" and he reported me. When I tried to explain that this person with few others were calling me "white boy" on daily basis - I was told that noone cares. That they can sue me for being racist and I will lose, but the other way around it will simply not work.

Cheers, thx for your comment,
Yours, Piotr

Impressive, I didn't know that that kind of thing happened in other countries, we are used to other kinds of racism, usually the racism you hear and see most in the media is towards people of color, or at least what I have heard. Greetings!
