Not necessarily true. In South Africa and Australia/NZ especially there is also a significant amount of racial prejudice. All that aside though, this is a great vid.
I did forget about S. Africa. Austrialia & NZ, I did not know. I am kinda not suprised. How do you know, do /did you live there? I have always wanted to go.
not true. there is racial prejudice everywhere. it takes different forms because of different histories that people in different places have to come to terms with, but it is a long way from being an american monopoly.
but your experiences are not the experiences of everybody in those continents. i'm glad you had good experiences, but there are many who have not, so i think it's a little irresponsible to make the generalization that nobody in asia or europe is racist. (especially europe. i'm just really, really baffled by that statement. where in europe did you live?)
I lived in Neaterclean,(I do not remeber how to spell it.) close to Frankfort. A big army base. In Japan, I lived on Okanawa,Japan. I had no problems in either place. Not only that, I have a few friends who are African, who lived in Europe. It all depends on who is looking at it.
again, it's great that you had good experiences, and that your friends did too. but if things are so incredibly not racist in europe, then why, for example, is france having such a difficult time "dealing" with its immigrant population, and its muslim population in particular? why the riots? why the extreme paranoia around religious artefacts in schools, if everybody in europe is completely comfortable with everybody else's culture?
I agree, unfortunatly, racism exists everywhere, I believe the only thing we can do is raise cultural awareness and remind people just how alike we really are. ONE LOVE <3
