On several recent trips to an African capital city I couldn't help but be riled by the huge numbers of Caucasians entering into and taking advantage of the country.

They have the best lifestyles, cushiest jobs and are largely treated as 'gods'.

I Contrast this with my experience in Europe where despite being a professional and a law abiding resident I'm still greeted with jibes such as: 'go back to your country', 'leave our jobs alone' and 'you're not welcome here' among other profanity laden insults.

The juxtaposition of these two realities in my mind seems to be pushing me towards aligning my sentiments on foreigners in Africa with some of my European 'friends' sentiments on Africans in Europe.

I know the downside to the perpetuation of this prejudice but it's something i can't quite help. I find myself frequently needing to convince myself logically that my experience needn't taint the fact that anyone has a right to work and live wherever they please should they fulfill the requirements set by the local authority

Anyone felt similarly or have any thoughts on this?
