    Tbf some people in Africa don’t know what racism is either. In some places white people are not that regular and some kids in the country side never even saw a white person, much less ever faced or understand the concept of racism. If you are somewhat isolated in a comunity you won’t get it until you start watching more problematic Tv or movies. Maybe that’s what this polish person said

    I live in a big country, in a big city, and I don’t get why racism is even a thing, imagine being isolated!?

      Of course, some people in africa experience racism from other black people. It isn’t all white v black, sometimes it’s Hutu v Tutsi.

        Lots of people love to hate other people. Hate releases endorphins, and endorphins feel good. They just need a reason, it doesn’t even have to be a good one.

        “I really hate people who part their hair on the wrong side.”

        “Which side?”

        “Whatever side that the people I hate use.”

        “WTF?”

      When I was a kid we had so few POC in our schools; it was simply because there weren’t many here yet. I had one black person in my grade school and three in my high school. It was just our population then, the area was mostly European immigrants back then. It has changed immensely now, and the racism against immigrants here is pretty vile.
