J Legend X Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Yes but isn't the UK racist too tho? like... the world is racist no matter what people say...
SimpleKindofLife Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 I always hear this about Switzerland. Definitely not visiting there ever.
SpaceMan Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 I mean Switzerland is full of white people what does she expect the clue is right there

She didn't say it wasn't. A black person who is currently in Switzerland is expressing discomfort at being treated differently on her own twitter account, and ATRLers have to run in here to be combative.

Peep Show Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 As a Swiss person (with Albanian parents) I still get treated pretty badly by xenophobic people, and I was literally born here, so they're obviously racist as well. It's mostly the older Swiss people though.

Solaria Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Switzerland is an isolated country that does not have an history of coming in contact with a lot of other cultures. It’s inhabited by the whitest people possible if that’s even a thing. Makes total sense she doesn’t feel comfortable there. White people who are uncultured act like theyre in a zoo when they see a black person walking down the street, it’s disgusting
Sugar-Rush Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 But ATRL told me that only Americans can be racist and that Europe is a paradise of racial equality.

I had a few black & asian people at my school and everyone seemed comfortable with them, never saw them get treated differently (one of them was my best friend, so I would've known). My 7 year old nephew also has a black friend, so for newer generations it's clearly not a "zoo" type of situation. It's mostly those ******* boomers.
Beyonnaise Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Not a lie in sight. Europe is and always has been an extremely racist, anti-black continent. Edited May 25, 2022 by Beyonnaise

LeMésTragique Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 Switzerland is a sheltered, mountainous country that always kept distance from its neighbors.
ATRL Moderator Azulito Posted May 25, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted May 25, 2022 She didn’t say they were racist. It’s sad that people still treat black people like zoo animals in 2022 though.
Carter Posted May 25, 2022 Posted May 25, 2022 is this the girl who had black/white face for her album cover lmao?

A black person would not get stared out by half the train/bus in the UK. Both times I've been away to the continent with my bf who's mixed we've felt really awkward on public transport because of the stares from everyone. But then maybe I'm in a London bubble All countries have issues but I can definitely see where her shock would come from Edited May 25, 2022 by AM98GJ
