As another white African, I feel similarly. I feel very African, and it is part of who I am. My family has been here for about 400 years, but I still also feel I have an additional "inherited" European culture. And this mixed culture is confusing but interesting at the same time.
I lived in the UK for 18 months, and I adapted well there, but I still felt like an outsider. I'm thinking of moving to Germany for a while to see what that's like. I'll probably come back though. Home is home.
- _nalply 8y agoI'm afraid you'll find Germany even more different than UK.
- executesorder66 8y agoI'm not looking for a place to feel at home. I'm looking for a place that's different, but not incompatible. And I like learning about the small differences in culture. And my family is originally from Germany, so it might not be more different.
- pjmlp 8y agoAs someone that has moved a bit around, one eventually feels outsider everywhere, even at Home when among those that never traveled abroad.
