Can you provide some examples of racism? I am aware of some against Gypsies 40-50 years ago, but it is gone these days. Even that, it was against the culture, not the people, Gypsies going "modern way" were fully accepted, but traditions like kid marriage or living a nomadic life in carriages was not.
- yakshaving_jgt 2y agoIn this case I’m talking about overt, vocal racism against black and brown people in Poland and Ukraine where I have lived for several years. That isn’t to say that I think central or Eastern Europe are outliers — I have personally witnessed at least as much racism in countries considered to be more progressive, like Sweden. The point is, to say it’s virtually nonexistent is plainly untrue.
