- Experiences of racism are shared to highlight that fact that there is racism in Scotland. I hope that this video can instigate change within the education system, the way racist crimes are dealt with and awakening to unconscious biases.
This is a time for change and those in power in Scotland including Nicola Sturgeon, Police Scotland now need to make a change to stamp out racism!

P.S obviously not everyone is racist in Scotland and majority of people are nice and it is a nice place to live. But these are people’s experiences and racism must not be tolerated.

European/Western and Asian culture period is entrenched and embedded with racism and colorism. Some countries are more tolerable than others, but ALL have racism. The only place brown/black/African looking people don't get looked twice at or treated differently because of their skin color or looking African is in Africa. Africa is the future for us. Once Africa is strong and respected all other countries will be forced to treat Blacks in their countries with respect. It doesn't matter if they like us or not, we just deserve respect as human beings. When Africa the continent that houses Black people is strong, Black people all over the world will be secure. I really believe this.
True true hut majotity African countrys say nasty things and dnt accept mixed as part of them.
@@tombimashri8149 not true. Mixed race people are more priviledged in african countries than any other society.
@@livingfinance name the countries because in Cameroon mixed people have no privilege...
@@livingfinance depends on the country.. but for the most part it depends.. mixed ppl aren't looked at as being 100% the same way as they are in the states though.
@@MichaelImo because they are not 100%
What I get from this is what I knew all along is that it's better to live in a place where you're the majority instead of being a minority. Visiting these places in one thing but living there? nah.
A Ghanaian living in Edinburgh. Scottish people always deny they are not racist but they are. It's because they are. Anytime you raise the issue they say you're playing the race card. In scottish law, for someone to be convicted of an offence you need 2 witnesses so most racism abuse go unpunished hence less record of racism and because of this they think there are no racism in Scotland.
We see how the world treats blacks, I don't think we should live in any non black country. Integration always hurts us because black ppl have some of the highest morals, & other groups assume having lighter skins makes them better so they treat u accordingly
@Sonic2004 many racist people use the word "race card".
Go back to Ghana.
Every country on Earth has racism.
But still not going to Ghana. So if you avoid living with black people, why should you resent white people that don't want to live with black people?
Thank you for this video i have been researching places in the "UK" to live and i want to feel comfortable this video helped me cross scotland off my list lol......... im so sorry that you all went through this no human being should have to experience it.
You would end up crossing off the whole of UK if you want a place free of racism.
@judithisiuwaasoro850 if we are so racist why do you left wing parasites encourage immigration
the fact that even the lightest skin black person was treated so badly scared the hell out of me.
DG Studios why, are you light skinned and thought you had a “pass”?
@@TuckerTurkey No I am not light skinned.
yes. im sho like huh? they even said something like that to you?
@@TuckerTurkey light skinned women are more likely to be choosen over brown skin or dark skin women so it suprised me. like of course they're black as well, but i dont know just kind of a shock to me.
Know who you are. And how important you are. You don't need their approval to feel accepted and beautiful.
The way I see Scotland, is all this amazing history, I can understand the language (for the most part), it has familiar social/racial issues, but I there's free university education after 3 years of residency (as a foreigner), universal health care, and a safer and more tolerant country than the US. I've been researching it for a while now, and I'm not approaching it with rose-colored glasses, nor this romantic ideal. I think it's at least worth a visit! My only issue with Scotland, is that I'll have to take driving lessons for the left side of the road to keep from killing myself on the road!
This is why African development is so important.. where can black ppl go to be properly socialized and not develop self hate when many of us have to rely on the charity and assimilation into white countries? Most blacks if given a choice probably wouldn't care to assimilate.. our time in Many white/asian countries should be to get education and resources to then go back to black countries so we can develop it for ourselves.. the perceived lack of options means we are forced to deal with these situations.. when I was a child the kids used to tell me to go back to Africa.. and I used to be offended and fight.. if those ppl said that to me today.. I'd say that's part of the plan. It saddens me to hear these stories, but are we going to beg non blacks to be better? How about we compete instead of running away to these countries only to make them richer.. ppl respect power(look at China) and if blacks don't gain solidarity and instead focus on integration with the idea of white charity/white guilt being our primary vehicle then we won't ever have it. So.. instead of planning your European get away, and spending money to make the lives of ppl, many of whom don't care about you, better
... How about you..😬 GO BACK TO AFRICA 😎👍🏾✌🏿🏴
Well said. Go back to the Motherland. We are rich in everything.
yh totally man, westerners' racism towards Asians has really decreased from the last century mainly as a result of their economic growth and i think Africa coming out strong economically would give blacks living everywhere else more validity and sense of pride.
@@jo-lillies7972 exactly.. yet we have whites and asians going to africa to take advantage of this.. but blacks in America are scared to even buy a plane ticket.
@@emmanuelsarfo7396 agreed, economic empowerment is how you get away from these horrible instances.. speaking to emotions is a temperary solution to a permanent problem. If you really care about blacks, then focus on spending your money on black business.
Thank you! We have the most resource rich and beautiful continent on the planet! What is stopping us.
Bruh....that rope story disgusts me....

Good idea !!
Wohòooooooooooooooooo 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
YES AMEN
Why come here if you know it's racist
I don't think changes within the education system is the total answer... it might help a bit. But when I was growing up, my parents taught me to always respect and be kind to other people. I feel like as a society we've lost that golden rule of treat others as you would want to be treated.
Thank you for this video vanessa the stories need to be told
Please leave if you don't like GB
Wow this is shocking. I went to a small town over there back in 1994. I am a light skinned so called black American. They showed me nothing but love. I was warned that the British sailors didn't like the black American Navy men. They referred to us as black bastards. But the Scottish locals were nice to me.
You couldn’t just say you’re black American? Lol smh..
@@shebacynn1320 it's almost as if there are more than one type of black ethnicity shocker I know you nitwit racist
@Marek Cracovia For the record, I experienced "In your face Racism" in America. YES, THE COUNTRY I WAS BORN IN.
I was there recently like a year ago and had no problems with the white people there. And I went virtually everywhere except Aberdeen and most of the Islands.
going to indigenous White people countries and then claiming racism is weird
Are you just ignoring that most these share your DNA
So you think ppl of other races shouldn’t be able to locate to other countries? With that logic white people should leave africa
Im black and i agree
Easily one of the dumbest comments I've seen in a while. Congrats
it’s not weird.. and people can’t help where they were born
I am from Bulgaria, I experienced discrimination couple of times as well. Unfortunately some people are this way and nothing will really change them. Sadly
They dont give a shit, you're white. Maybe if you're Asian they'll somewhat relate.
@Abhigyan Banerjee haven't you heard? Black people can't be racist.
Good
Hi vanessa I have been living in Scotland 17 years me and my friend the only African were on bus going to town after couple of stop one man came in and said I hate those people pointing hes finger at as before we said anything all the people on the bus shouted at him to get off the bus and he did I was sad in the same time happy because the other people defended as after that a lot things happened I just brush it off because there are a lot good people than bad in Scotland. I like what you doing it is good to took about it thank you 🙏🏴
Yes I definitely agree. Xx
You shouldn't tell people to brush off racism as I am sure you don't tell jewish people to brush off Anti-Semitism. The problem is that racism has been brushed off for too long now.
Question, if you report to the police will they do anything?
Police Scotland is the primary sponsor of racism in Scotland. Their policy to deal with the issue is based on " there is nothing we can do".
You need to have two witnesses before anything is done.
I dont know,Im a Latvian 34 living in Scotland with my English wife 31,I never had any problems with racism in Scotland.From my experience in whole of UK, Scotland has been most welcoming!I did experience some racism in Manchester though,not from English but from blacks and pakistanis
Are you a black Latvian?

Am afraid your anecdotal arent relevant to the spirit of this video, maybe you can post your experiences on a video talking about life for former soviets in western europe?
Well done for doing this! So many people do not believe or choose not to believe that racism exists!
No we know because you guys talk about it all the time
@@lovelybitofbugle219 talk about race all the time?
@@4pancello yeah
@@lovelybitofbugle219 is that a problem?
@@4pancello not if you wanna be treated differently.
Not that I think it's the solution, but surely repatriation back to Africa must be considered.
That comment doesn't explain if it would be voluntary or involuntary? Amazed it got a like.
Sorry, what is your point?
@@ednutowaoa Are you saying that Scotland should send black people back to Africa? That's how it reads. And that was my point.
Right. My point is Black Man and Woman in Scotland should consider repatriation to Africa, on their own terms.
@@ednutowaoa But for some of those people Scotland is where they were born, it's their home. In Africa they may not experience racism, but they might face other types of discrimination, as they are not locals. Immigrants to post-apartheid South Africa from other African states have not had it easy.
A lot of the comments here are sad to see , people have had such bad experiences with racism. Scotland as a whole is a genuinely accepting country and wouldn’t put you off visiting don’t let the racist win
when i was younger i used to have a lot of these experiences, but honestly, when I got older, they just stopped. i did a ton of healing in the jungle with ayahuasca and a lot more of inner work especially surrounding ancestral healing and i can tell you that i don't experience this at all anymore. funny how that works.
Wow
Dear Vanessa, can you please link the CZcamsrs to acknowledge them please/so we can listen to their full stories, thank you.
Hey! These arnt youtubers - sorry! But if you check out Instagram you can see the links to all their pages. instagram.com/tv/CBIcpAQJwgo/?igshid=1ltaauv38okiq
As someone who was raised in Germany(and experienced a lot of racism from the kids my age) I think it’s very common in the European and Uk educational system for the kids to be very cruel and ignorant. It is so important to teach the younger generation cause these can become such dangerous and deeply traumatizing experiences for children to deal with.
Thanks for this great video Vanessa. I am Irish Mexican-American and in the late 70’s I lived in Dunoon Scotland when I was a teen as a US navy brat. I went to Dunoon Grammar School and had the most wonderful experience and met so many great people. After summer my Latin skin would turn super dark so the Scottish boys gave me the nickname Toby (from Roots). Everyone had a derogatory nickname so I shrugged it off. Meanwhile, many of the Scottish girls were in love with me and literally chased me down the hall in packs. I was convinced that I was the first Latin person they had ever seen. So you can my experience was a mixed bag but overall a positive one. My sister was born there so one day I hope to take her back.
Can you make a video on the hospitals in Ghana?
Do u have anything to say about the video?
Thanks for this video..... i was thinking to visit this country....... I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN SCOTLAND
Racism is in every country
@@antighaVision
Some are more based in class than in race such as the case with us Hispanics /Latinos not like America 🇺🇸 or Scotland 🏴 or anywhere that isn't Latin America
I can confirm it's a cold shithole
So you're gonna let other peoples experiences dictate whether you visit a country that you've never been to or not. Wow. In that case I guess you should just never leave your home country then.
Yea but is the history in the past you can’t blame all white Scot’s in history is also the English discrimination Scot’s is like joining white train and or black train. Black people judging all. Have to look more history how the North Africa treated South Africa they sold South Africa to Spanish and other euro look in it. Look into the history. Is not just the Scot’s. Irish been discriminated by the English they call them black Irish.
I really like your topic. Keep it up 👍
i am from scotland and i no not all ppl r the same no matter where you go in the world. i apologies for an racism but remember it says more about that person who insults anyone than the person being insulted. scotland be kind!
I lived in Scotland (Aberdeen) for 3yrs I have never experienced that.
@@marumomashebe1404 what is your point?
Thats heavyyy frieeeeddddd
You are truly amazing Vanessa. Keep doing what you are doing🖤🖤
This Broke my heart, I think racism will always exist and be targeted towards any minority in a country
White people make up the worlds minority do they still count.....
@@godwynthegael9912 There isn't a majority Ethnicity. I'm not even sure what you are trying to say.
@@rustyrench4278 like how you changed that from racial to ethnic 👍 again still doesn't change the fact white humans are the worlds minority....regardless ethnicities
@@godwynthegael9912 All races are a minority on the globe. I said ethnic yes but the statement also applies to race. What is your underlying problem with me?
@@rustyrench4278 because as a Evolutionary biologist its infuriating when someone uses race and ethnicity as one when they are not. And no not all races are a minority on the globe....what the hell you even smoking!!
The things that are being said here are shocking. I'm white and scottish and can honestly say i've not been around a whole lot of racism growing up here. I't never really came up at all in EK and Glasgow where i grew up. I've got a number of non white friends from school and work and i understand that because im not seeing it doesn't mean its not happening. I've not seen anyone get murdered or raped either.
I'm just saying i never encountered it.
I love comments like this. Have you ever talked to your “non white friends” about their experiences and listened to them and believed them? Your white privilege insulated you from these experiences. Why would YOU experience it? The fact that you refer to them as “non white” as if white is the insulting. As if you’re either white or non-white.... Most of the world has melanin. You should refer to yourself as non-melanin.
@@srbumblediva you make me feel physically sick. I've not experienced it no. I've been sexually assualted, i've been stabbed. I've had to stand up in court in my catholic school uniform and point to the people that knocked my teeth out with a spring kosh cause i was wearing the wrong colours. Quoting "non white" like im ignorant. How dare you try put me down for talking about skin colour and trying to make me feel bad for distinguishing between races when discussing race wars. I do not and have never looked at a person and saw skin colour in my life. It's just not what im looking for.
What you just did was classic fascist weaponising of free speech. Trying to turn an innocent observation into hate. Fuck you deeply.
@@phdotsco Ignore people like that. They are in fact ignorant and hateful. Whether it's due to personal experience or it's taught. Then you have people who provoke people to promote division on purpose. Where I come from we don't tolerate that shit at all.
You said you never see skin color. People like that are greatly appreciated and a lot more precious in this shit world than you think! Don't let people change you.
@@srbumblediva You're being so hateful and ignorant. Look, I don't know where you live or who you interact with but that might have influenced this spiteful point of view.
Let me tell you something... I've had a black customer treat my white friend bad just because of her own personal experiences and I had to tell the heffer off. I'm also treated badly by racist customers and the occasional prejudice higher up, but guess what? My friends and/or coworkers stood up for me as well. Do I blame _everyone_ who looks the same for the experience of some? No. That's ridiculous.
In my old workplace we've had Haitians, Africans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Germans, Muslims, Christians, Ukrainians, Russians, the list goes on. It was the most homely place I've ever been. I never learned so much from the experiences of other people and learned from their own issues!
Remember, treat others the way you wish to be treated and learn from their experiences. Also, you might wanna encourage others to do the same 👍🏽
@@srbumblediva White privilege in scotland isn't a thing, you triggered snowflake.
Vanessakanbi love your video coming from Trinidad and Tobago bless
What did she say on 1:39?
Racism is everywhere. I'm sorry for the experiences that all have had in Scotland. I can say I've experienced alot of those as well living in America. Especially living in Los Angeles where I was born and raised. But what I have always done is stand up for myself. My father's family was very active in the Civil rights movement. Maybe Scotland might need a movement as well. Maybe you all need to start a NAACP chapter in Scotland. Just a suggestion. I still plan on visiting Scotland one day tho, if I can handle ignorance in the US, I can handle it there too.
Scotland's not America ,the Scottish people are tired of multi culturism after seeing what it's done in Europe -say France so I don't blame them sometimes,
@@moonbase1comein543 Not really, I’ve rarely seen immigrants that don’t share their culture and embrace ours. That’s not multiculturalism, it’s 2 cultures intertwined and invested in each other. This isn’t London, we’re not going to go that far. Unless we let it. And that’s on us.
There is no such thing as racism.
if you want racism to go away you have to have ethno-nations, it's the only peaceful solution
Sorry mate
Scotland is full of racism
Not like everywhere
czcams.com/users/shortsWfpqj382GLs?feature=share
I think everyone is really strong for sharing their experiences. No one deserves to go through any of that. I hope the current and future generations will reform Scotland's society. Through proper education we can work towards eradicating ignorance, assumptions, micro aggressions, white washed history and the many other dimensions of racism. 😤 🖤
I worked in a hospital in Edinburgh and heard patients make comments behind black nurses backs.It wasn’t common but I was shocked after working in London where it’s not really acceptable.
Racism in London strikes me as being subtler and less explicit. Racism really is everywhere
"in London where it's not really acceptable" - Isn't this part of the 'racism only happens in other places' mentality that this video is pushing back against? Racism is not just an American problem, nor is it only a Scottish one, it's everyone's problem.
Every multicultural city in the world believes itself to be "beyond" racism, and in every case it's a myth. The UK as a whole (including London) does not deal with its problem with racial discrimination.
Vanessa, I LOVE what you're doing with your channel. Amazing. Keep it up. X
Thank you for this. It was heartbreaking to watch but well needed! 👏🏾👏🏾
As a black American that has a love for any and everyone. I was raised in the subburbs I am college educated nondrug user and have never been arrested. And I have spent half of my life searching for just a safe place where humans view others as human. And not judge an individual for what is believed by the masses foolish maybe. but I came to this video with hopes that Scottland wouldn't be bad as where I currently live the south in NC. I wish nothing but peace and love to all and anyone on this thread. I will continue my journey to find a safe space.
I'm a historian and never ever heard of that word she said was used during slavery; it's not a word!!
Great video. 😇👍
I have a black friend living in Scotland and she is sick of the racism there.
Oh my!! As a teacher for over 18 years in Scotland, I was badly discriminated, especially by my staff mates.
My story will shock the world.
I no longer teach due to the discrimination encountered. Too traumatised.

I guess the UK had not yet formalized the capacity to integrate all her varied ethnic groups that live within its Land.
I have some scottish + irish ancestry on my Caribbean side. Certain West Indian countries have a history of Scots/Irish/English ppl that settled and some of us are mixed in with them despite our brown skin tones lolll. The Irish were brought under the British caste system tho 2 work for the upperclass European plantation owners. I know about the racism in Ireland as I've lived there so not surprised to hear about the Scottish having these ways. Unfortunately, for me it's weird bcuz I feel a bit of connection to Europe as I'm mixed and have a lot of European heritage but there is a great deal of racism in Europe at the same time. I haven't travelled to majority white countries or lived in them recently. I think if black/brown ppl have the choice, they should consider doing the same + see what other places have to offer, instead of just europe europe lolll. Even w' my large amount of European dna, I don't really claim it bcuz I am non-passing + know white folk mostly see me as brown person. I call myself mixed + don't try to pander, seek acceptance or try 2 fit in w' monoracial ppl bcuz I will never be considered monoracial.
Europeans created their systems + institutions for their ppl 2 thrive + prosper, not really for outsiders that have no cultural ties to the place. Interestingly enough, plenty of my european friends from school would leave europe all the time 2 explore + see other countries outisde europe, whether backpacking or taking a spring vacation.
The most racist place I've ever been to is the UK. Outright racism. Straight up...no apologies. It seems like racism is a cultural norm.
Yh most people in London are non w so that’s probably why
go to london as a white person
The UK is a large place, you got England, Scotland, Wales and even northern Ireland. Kind of unfair to label all of it the most racist place.
Hi Vanessa, I'm glad u decided to this video. I wish I had the opportunity to tell my story too "being Ghanaian living, studying and working Glasgow". Continue doing the great work as usual. Bless.
My dad is from Scotland I’m so glad to see Scotland has moved in this direction! YES!!
my name is Benjamin Lias Shealey and I live here in the US and I know I've never been to Scotland but I wanted to see what its like there because I am black myself and people tell me that it's beautiful mostly white people tell me this and wanted to know from a black \person of color \minority view of it. I remember in middle school another student called me black boy constantly I was maybe 11-13 years of age and I would just get so mad and frustrated about why he would say that and all the teachers would say is "Just ignore it", honestly its disgusting to see this in not in America but also other countries. It's not only being black or a person of color but as a minority that dealing with racism all the time is very exhausting and honestly I just want to be somewhere free it. Have wonderful day and there are people who love respect and care for you don't ever forget that it's very important.
I went to Scotland in the summer with my family. I enjoyed my time there, met so many lovely people, white, Asians who were kind. I hope humans can love each other regardless of the colour of their skin. Thanks for sharing this video.
Racism cannot be stopped. There is no way to just eliminate it. That's like saying you can make it to where you can make people stop being jerks. There is no way, and everyone has a right to be a jerk anyway. The only thing you can do is help develop laws to make sure all are equal and that other races are not treated like sub humans. Racism happens pretty much everywhere you can imagine. You can help educate and it will be up to the people to change their ways.
I live in Ayr Scotland and unfortunately racism is everywhere but I never realised it was so bad and so regular in Scotland.
I’m a black American Clan Campbell descendant. Been wondering this because I’ve been in contact with my Uk/Scott family. Got invited out the check out the country and family lands to learn the history.
You should check it out. I went there and I had a blast, haven't came across racist and I was win multiple different towns. The same things you that happened to these people in this video can happen in America, and we're supposedly more civilized that any other nation (according to other Americans).
Deeply saddened and ashamed to hear this. Thanks for sharing these stories.

As a white Scot from a mixed race house I can vouch for hearing and seeing racist comments flung off the cuff alot throughout my life. I wouldn't say that the majority of people are racist but it's the people who don't speak out loud against it when it happens are at fault. I remember when I was in glasgow after a job interview I heard an alcky shouting abuse at a Muslim lassie just walking past for no reason and no one spoke up apart from me one of the days I lost a little Faith in Scotland.
You should move to south Africa.. you can hate whites there as much as you like
As a black person I’ve been there to visit a friend and it was lovely.
No racism at all , if you’re polite to people they’ll be polite back. Of course there is racism there , but just like anywhere there is racism.
Are you comparing your visit to Scotland with their experience as black people who have lived there for decades?
@@Jeremiah-wl9dm let me guess you have victim mentality.
Put It Out There!! Your Beautiful, Be Strong as your descendants of Queens & Kings❤
I'm glad I didn't see this before going to Scotland last summer. Obviously my experience as a tourist for less than a week can't be compared to someone who lived there. But I didn't have any issues and all the Scots I interacted with were very friendly. Some guys even randomly chatted me up on the streets and we all went out drinking.
Me too, even the bar patrons in Edinburgh were good lads. Didn't give me a hard time about giving them a tip for a Tennent. LOL
keep in mind the role that Europe played in the slave trade, on should not be shocked by that sort of behavior. It has been passed from generation to generation. in 1986 I went to an eight countries tour, I vividly remembered some acts of racism I saw , some of these nations even after 34 years I will never again visit.
What about the Arab slave trade? Or the blacks that sold other blacks??? Just whites aye 🤣🤣🤣
I am very well aware of all of those who were implicated in the slave trade. The trade would have not been fully possible without the Africans themselves. I was commenting on the discrimination suffered by the people in European countries. if their experience was in an Arab nation, I would have come up with the same European argument.

Home education didn't stop antisemitism and it won't stop racism. Harsh Laws will definitely bring changes. A victim of racism needs justice not a pad on the back.
Such a human tragedy. When will humankind just let us be? I am Taino and Borikua American, and I want to find a home in Scotland. Thank you for this insight.
the world hates black people. i'm literally looking for a place to travel to, and there's nowhere that likes Black people... it's sad
Wow!! I was planning on going there for vacation this year to go Cupar or Aberdeen where my Scot anc9came from and moved to the Caribbean; I don't think so anymore as a Mulato ( Mixed race ) person. They sound very backwards; i thought that pathology would be more likely in England though I never experienced that when I was there.

Insightful and instructive video about racism experienced by people of color in Scotland, as also a person from African descent living in Europe, I fully understand and sympathise with these testimonies. Good enlightening for the education needs about respect that should be more taught in schools and colleges. But, personally I think the goal is to prepare a return to beautiful Africa and protect the continent from some foreign predators. It is a duty from our generations.
Excellent work Vanessa as always. God bless you.
Thanks 🇳🇬🇺🇬🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴👍💗
I completely understand when my wife and I went to South Africa the visit relatives we were both discriminate against we went to visit her family her relatives that has a farm in South Africa all of us were discriminated against and we were attacked I spent a year learning how to walk again so I completely understand
You spent a year learning how to walk again? What happened?
@@ajl2232 I'm also genuinely interested in this story.
He lying
That is awful. I'm so sorry to hear that. God bless you!
South Africa?
Sad, I recently had a DNA done and I have 10% Scotland DNA and I know it was directly tied to slavery! I'm in America can't really say that I have experienced direct racism. But indirect racism is so much worst!
thare no such thing as Scotland DNA youre not scottish
@@234cheech I never said I was and who gives a fuck loser reading comments get a life! And you dont know what the fuck I am!!
@@234cheech You never heard of a DNA ancestry test?
Never heard of the black scots ? House of Stuart
@@Chosen1JayD dont need to hear of black scots. I see black scots everyday
What makes me a good demoman?
IF I WERE A BAD DEMOMAN, I WOULDN'T BE SITTIN' HERE DISCUSSIN' WITH YA NOW WOULD I!
Very good Vanessa. I applaud your efforts.
Ancestry DNA showed my Scottish Ancestry, not sure how I feel about going to that family reunion...
So much ignorance. This angered and hurt me. No one should have to "laugh or go insane" about who/what God made them. Here in America, we blacks experience so many microaggressions on a daily basis and are constantly having to navigate them without going off on somebody. I can't imagine someone calling me a coon or n-word to my face. When I tell you it would probably take the force of an entire army to hold me back...
Time to Move.
What I also find interesting is the Irish question, why the question about ethnicity in the Job applications ? There is about 15 options. The problem is sistemic. Nicola doesn't mention the origin of the problem.
I was in Scotland for a few weeks, didn't encounter any racism, but I also wasn't there for long.
If you're black in Britain living outside of London Birmingham Manchester Some parts of Yorkshire you will experience a lot more racism. facts
This makes me very sad
So glad I read this. We love “Outlander” and have often talked about traveling to Scotland to see the beautiful countryside. “F!@k that!”
@@samoday2992 imagine getting so offended that someone doesnt want to experience racism that you call their country a dump, even after they just called your country beautiful, you're not right in the head mate
@@samoday2992 you are pathetic.

Nah Scotland is pretty good overall regarding diversity, these are just a few unpleasant experiences
I just found out in 15% Scotland. 36% Nigerian. Not too excited to be Scotland now sad
It’s so important to educate your children about the world so that they know what their rights are. It’s not enough to wait for it to happen, tell them now. Tell them that their life matters and they own their bodies.
Tell them about the white genocide in south Africa too 👍
I completely understand these guys, I am not black but I'm not English or white, so most of the times they don't see me as a human being and my capabilities, education, and knowledge are being overlooked because of my RACE.
Sorry you feel that way. Might I suggest you migrate back to your ancestral homeland? That will solve that fitting in problem, wont it?
This is a low bar for 'racism'. Some people actually get murdered and genocided over their race.
Gods that’s terrible. Will things ever change
I always find these stories so interesting because there’s a large percentage of black people in the UK who pretend like blatant racism or anti-blackness is strictly an american phenomenon.
Guess they don’t get out much.
Vanessa you are doing great job keep it up
My grandfathers family is from Scotland but they migrated to Canada a few generations ago. My grandfather married my grandmother who is a beautiful dark skinned Polynesian woman and his family really never approved of their marriage but accepted my biracial mom and her siblings because they “pass” for white but never wanted anything to do with my grandmother. My grandfather noticed and he decided they weren’t going to have anything to do with his family anymore and moved provinces lol . My mom married my dad who is also Polynesian so us kids look Polynesian with red kinky curly hair lol. Anywho, All it takes is one generation to stand up against racism. ❤️🙏🏽
Generations have nothing to do with standing up against racism. You just have to stand up for it.
and?
As a black man. You are a beautiful "Chocolat Biscuit." We love ya!
Racist people are evil and sick human being,I am always Happy when people shows a racism towards me because my mother told me that I have something that they don’t have that is why they are showing racism attitude towards me.
All the people on this video are beautiful, confident and positive. Don’t be scarred by the evil in the hearts of racist people who believe in white supremacy. It is time for the Scottish and British authorities step up and live up to the high ideals of the civility we should all live by. 😎
They should move to south Africa if they don't like hurtie comments
Come back home people
I am a Black American who just discovered I am 10% Scottish and am curious is it ok to visit Scotland?
The world is crazy and I don't live in fear but is it worth the effort to go there?
Appears us Black people catch hell all over the world.
Yes it is a nice place to visit
Hmmm
Was planning to go to Scotland for my masters
Am really scared hearing these 😣
Please don't be scared as I live in Scotland and I have never heard anyone being racist, It wouldn't be tolerated in Scotland, I guess you always get some idiots who say crap to others, that will happen in any country.
