Food for thought - Germans see you as Halmitic race from europe settlers.
Italians see you as illegal immigrants.
North Americans see you as non-human apes.
Japan see Africa as continent in need of help. So as China.
China see you as black faces with bad luck.
US see you as primitive and full of disease. They also see Africa as a jungle full of wild animals.
Australians see you as primitive.
Koreans see you as people without water and basic amenities as depicted in the movie shooting stars.
Some people see Africans as fraudsters especially Nigerians. Also see Africa one poor country.

I just talk say make I remind you ni ooo. No pun intended.

NaijaNaWaa:


Not only Japanese. Americans and Europeans (UK, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, etc) too. I've experienced that a lot. Right from the airport coach to city trains; they never sat beside me. It embarrasses me. Who else has experienced it?

Btw, I'm not foreign based. I only travel and return.

A simple example...in the UK, a group called the National Action which hates immigrants has been unable to hold marches openly because the government no let them

50 years ago, in the same UK, groups like the National Front, which were anti-immigrant.(and from which National Action is descended from)...could march and say what they wanted to say, and no one would do nothing.

There is room for improvement though. I didn't say it is uhuru yet.

JaskanFactor:
just dont believe anybody who tells racism is not a life threating ordeal.
Dont take lightly cause your career, and very life depend on it
YouTube search for experience of black Americans and west Indians with racism, dont listen to the experience of ass licking sell-out materialistic Nigerians. Cause if you listen to Nigerians you will not get a sense of how dangerous racism is to every aspect of your life.

And usually the European cults and individuals that are hardcore racists are usually also witches and satanic sects.
Examples the Nazis of old and thier moderns day Neo Nazi cults are deeply into witchcraft and Satanism.

So that anytime you experience racism, beware not to let them make you angry, they act calm whilst making you angry cause they are witches who want to steal your energy. Always maintain a good steady deep breath when around them , or going to be around them.

Dont listen to the opinion of Nigerians who will sell thier mother for visa about racism , internet search the experience of black Americans and west Indians

Shame on you fking sell-out Nigerians forever ever, where ever you see fellow Nigerians their behaviour towards fellow African is often worst than even the racist , i disown you people. Overtly materialistic shit people , listening to opinion of Nigerian about racism can put your life in danger, cause they love to lick oyinbo ass. This is why black Americans and west Indians hate Nigerians, and Nigerians are gona get into serious trouble before they learn what side the ground is on.

ghettochild:
It's common here in SA...
Our brothers are the reason.
Infact when these lots have nothing on u...they'd simply just tag u a drug dealer..
Another systemic discrimination is the non renewal of permits... and as it is currently Zimbabweans are also feeling the heat.

I'm in the US, based in the Northeast. It's here. My friends with black boys have to have the conversation with their sons about how to interact with police. It's sad to have to discuss. And also to remind them that though they may live in the same neighborhoods and go the same schools as some of their friends, at times they may not be seen or treated the same.

My niece was telling me the other day, that she's not pretty and her hair's not pretty. She's 9. Was confused and then she explained that a white girl in her school told her that her skin was dark and hair wasn't soft.. blah blah blah. Adults can manage, understanding that we need to manage, but if you live in areas that are not predominately black, children can bear the brunt.

nairalanda1:


Yeah and there were laws in the past too.

Just that people did not follow them at all back then

But compared to times past, racisim has dimished. At least as a black person in say the UK, you won't get denied accomodation by a landlord so long as you got the cash to pay.

XtraFortunes:
The tribalism in Nigeria is worse than the racism in America.

Like somebody said sometime ago it is better to live in an advanced country with racist than to live in an under developed country like Nigeria with tribalism

Even me I have become tribalistic as I can not be friends with a Fulani man as I see all of them as killer herdsmen now. Will you blame me? After seeing Fulani herdsmen kill, kidnap and rape people with non of them brought to justice by government.

Nigerian based abroad, please share your experience with racist or when you are being discriminated because of your color.



Note: This is not an Anti Japa thread.

Skyview01:


As much as I despise racism, some of the rednecks may have a little justification for racism and if I may play the devil's advocate for a bit. Their country is developed, they've managed to build a working system through sheer hard work over the years and some of them have never had contact with blacks before. Also, there are some places where blacks are always in the news for the wrong reason all the time.

What exactly is the reason behind tribalism? All the tribes in Nigeria are equally backward with very little to show the last time I checked and we are the same fvucking black skin.

Why exactly does one backward tribe think they are better than the other backward tribe? it's the same shit in different toilets.

I apologize for my frankness.

sonnie10:
The one I don’t understand is, when people see you and smile, are they

Smiling at you?
Smiling for you?
Smiling with you?
Smiling about you
Or just smiling?

They do these a lot here and it makes me quite uncomfortable.

planetx:
I doubt if most of them downplaying racism and defaulting to the issue of tribalism have ever traveled out of Nigeria before.

Very good question. All the white/black people there were astonished. Some had their mouths open and the others were giving him that 'wtf' look.

I simply asked him if he was on meds that he skipped that day that made him think he has a green colour. He never turned up for work again after that. I still wonder what happened to him. That was about 15 years ago.

Billygee2u:

I have long stopped commenting on Nairaland because of miscreants and bigots that full Nairaland .
Before you remove the dust in someone's eyes, first remove the log of wood in your own eyes .
Before, talking about racism and discrimination in abroad, first deal with the tribalism, ethnic bigotory and discrimination in Nigeria.

TheCongo2:


If someone never experience racism in the west it could be for any of the following reasons :
1 - The person is extremely lucky
2- The person never amount to anything
3 - the person has no notion of subtle racism or everyday racism.

IjeBos:


Sorry. You should hone up on your US history. The US was developed on the back of African Americans. And because of systematic racism, blacks generational wealth was destroyed. Google the "Tulsa Race Massacre" or "Black Wall Street".

TheCongo2:


The Canadian Governement recognizes that minority face subtle racism or everyday racism daily. And you are here telling the world that you have been living in Canada for 4 years without experiencing any racism !!! Something doesn't add up somewhere.

May I please ask what you do for living?

Raalsalghul:


Smiling is obligatory for them.

They might hate your guts and still smile at you.

Earthquakes:
Nigerians have no moral rights to discuss rasism when tribalism and religious war is our Succour here.

By the way a year in Canada, 2yrs in India, and few in UAE never experienced it first hand

falopey:

Forget what woke politicians that strive on racial division for the sake of winning elections tell you. I have been in the US for seven years. I have never experienced racism for once. Of course you will get whatever you’re looking for if it’s racism you look out for every day you step out, you will get it
