Hi I’m from Europe and unfortunately in the past few years I realized how much racism there is in the world which really messes up my mind since that concept didn’t exist for me as a kid and I thought it’s normal that people look different.
Having very pale skin and not having visited too many countries I was wondering if I might encounter any problems in America because of my skin. Can I just talk to anyone or will people reject me because of my skin? (I have blond hair too)
It’s sad to me that some people divide and label people based on their appearance or where they come from. My wish is to just connect to people regardless of how they look and see each other as a person instead of “black”, “Caucasian”, “Asian” etc.
Ok, that’s an admirable wish but then you definitely shouldn’t go to the United States and might want to avoid humanity all together. Humans have a tendency to want to categorize and classify and quantify things.
I don’t think that’s too much to ask for. If humans really wanted ending racism they could do so
Maybe, but we’ve strayed pretty far from your original question which is the only thing that actually fit this community’s rules and I suspect that was disingenuous.
Yea I don’t know why some people online are so rude I’m just trying to ask genuine questions…
If all humans wanted to end racism we wouldn’t need to because there wouldn’t be any. Insofar as some people are racist and you can’t control the actions of others, no one can end racism just by wishing it so.
I respect your color blindness and sense of equality, but I’m afraid this leans towards wishful thinking.
