You are led to believe that the N-word is okay, especially if it's called out by someone you know. You are led to believe that having dark skin is a disadvantage and that your physical difference from people around you is a bad thing. I wish I can share more of this, honestly.

    TBH, I'm a dark skinned black women who grew up and still live in the white suburbs of Southern Ontario Canada (not Toronto). The only black family in the neighbourhood. One of maybe 3 at the most black people in my elementary and then high school. Didn't really know them at all. Hell, I didn't even work with another black person until after I'd graduated from University, lived in Japan for a year and then came back here. There was definitely more racism growing up in the 80's but since I hit the 90's I can maybe count on one hand the instances of racism I experienced. Two of those were from black men. I don't fear being pulled over by the police, aside from the amount of my ticket. (I've only been pulled over once and I was definitely speeding.) I don't get followed around stores and I am a person who is very aware of her surroundings. I'm not saying that racism doesn't happen here. It's just not really a part of my daily life. I'm usually helping out my first nations friends for what they go through more. I always looked at it as, First Nations in Canada get treated like Black people in the US. But that's just my personal story. Everyone has their own and should be respected for it.

      The first Nations people are definitely the biggest victims of racism in Canada, I think up until the 1990s they were put in residential schools to make them more "civilized" a very fresh and pressing issue, first Nations reserved and communities are also usually isolated and impoverished and not generally well, other people still experience racism in Canada but it mainly is directed towards the first nations.

      True. I’m Canadian and everyone I know has been taught that black people of colour were pretty much equal. Not exactly equal but we never judged them. Indigenous people on the other hand, we were taught what Americans were taught about blacks. The hood didn’t have black peoples, it had First Nations. I did have a lot of bias and prejudice against indigenous people of colour and it’s terrible. Recently I discovered that I am Métis. My mom was adopted so we didn’t really know much. I was taught my entire life that indigenous people’s were bad, and I was one. It hurt me, but I’m trying so, so hard to learn about BIPOC and my cultures.

    As a black guy who lives in the UK for more than 15 years, the black girl was SPOT. ON. The racism over here is masterfully covert. But there is a lot of institutional racism. Ppl try to walk over you as a black person but as soon as you speak up, they say you're difficult or angry. They also get VERY offended if you call out racism. But the casual racism and microaggressions are very common here, albeit dressed in a polite tone of voice.

Don't even sound like them because other countries lap up the Harry Potter/ dickinson fantasy and the people of the country buy into it too. It let's the higher ups get away with doing whatever they want because they get given the benefit of the doubt e.g a supremely overtly racist prime minister being elected.

    Racism in South Africa is a HUGE ISSUE. Especially in Cape Town & Johannesburg. The white people here are like the USA, there are those that will throw it in your face and still have the audacity to make you the fool... Unfortunately we still have a long way to go. I guess the pandemic is kinda helping (I know it’s fucked up to say), because the old white men running corporates are kinda being phased out, but we still have one or two more generations to phase out before we can finally live in a place that racism doesn’t exist (if we ever get there).

      Whenever I log on to SA twitter and black people raise up an issue, especially regarding race... most white South African people tend to either say we're too "sensitive"," Apartheid ended long time ago and racism in SA doesn't exist", "black people are racist to white people too", etc. or just simply ignore it. The recent trend today is to use the murdering of farmers to sort of steer conversations that are meant to be had. Some people are currently using the loss of farmer life to push the narrative that black people in South Africa are irrational and insensitive and that is not right. To me, it feels as if white South Africans don't want to fight against or understand the problems that black South Africans face but as soon as they are affected, they expect everyone to jump... when they had, in fact, either been dormant or a problem for so long. Both issues should be brought up, discussed and delt with in a manner that doesn't distort the other. Farmers don't deserve to be murdered AND black people in South Africa need to be heard and listened to by their white counterparts, corperations and the government. Whenever a black person is bringing up their concerns, stop using the murdering of farmers as a shield and a defence mechanism but rather hear them out with the intent of understanding and have a proper conversation about it, then when they are done, bring up the issue of farmer murdering, have them hear you out and then have a proper conversation about it. I can't be expected to be out here, advocating for you to live in peace while a large majority of South Africans are not.
      A side note:
      roughly 70-75% of farming land in South Africa is owned by white people in a country has a stagering 92% of its population that identifies as non-white. I think saying farmers are murdered just because of their skin colour is over simplifying, avoiding conversations that are neccesary and those conversations would help with figuring out who is murdering farmers

    Hi!
    So..I have to turn down what was said about Japan. I wasn't born there, but I went there at a young age (4 years).
    I shockingly live in America now, only because of a job my father gotten into. If it wasn't for that, I think we would've stayed.
    Anyway, Japan to me is wonderful.
    My parents never experienced racism and nor have I.
    Matter a fact, I've been called out for being famous or something.
    I've been called very beautiful or smart, sometimes royalty, in which I don't think very often of being called.
    It wasn't hard for me because my parents already took the time to get to know some people and suggested places.
    People at our neighborhood or village knew us for being beautiful and smart, it wasn't a big deal. If anyone messed with us, Miss Kim or as I called her flame of the night would gladly do a checking upon them.
    We respected the Japanese culture and so did they did with our's. It was like we were ment to be noticed together!
    I should say this in the smi-suburb and not the city though..
    I've been to the city and it's a bit different than at home, it's like any city really though.
    I got stared at for the first time there, and I even had my hair touched without permission too. I wasn't used to that.
    It isn't a large problem, butJapanese should get better at respecting guidelines and personal space.
    With that being said, Japan is the best place I've been, nothing was ever wrong there. So yea, that's my experience. All experiences are different! So definitely check it out! :)

    People of color need to have the same respect and dignity as a white person. The color of your skin shouldn’t matter on how your treated as a human being. Everyone’s human and everyone deserves respect

    My very first real encounter with racism was when I was riding with my mom in the car at 12 and we got stopped by a cop. Nothing drastic happened. But it was a wake up call.

      Are you sure it was racism, and not your parents careless like speeding or the such?

      This is called insecurity. Could have been a plethora of things, but you jumped to conclusions that it was racism 😂
