:conf: :conf:
that's the moroccan flag
the whole indian/pakistani conflict isn't really based on racism, but more on the territorial conflict over kashmir (disputed land situated between india and pakistan). i guess you can say that religious differences (hinduism vs islam) are at the heart of that one. |

for having lived in two countries , here's my input :
-canada : there's no apparent racism in canada , no one will refuse to serve you in a restaurant because you're black/asian/arab/whatever. the only form of racism you might find is in the employment market (except the low wage jobs).
-morocco : as much as we keep on crying because we're victims of racism in other countries (specially europe) , moroccans are unfortunately racist too , specially towards black people from sub-saharian countries :( |

| There's alot of talk about that people with foreign names have much harder to get (good) jobs in Sweden than those with "Swedish" names. Even if they have a medical degree or whatever. |

Bull . There is a lot of anti-pakistani sentiment in Norway, especially Oslo. You are right though, it seems they're more against foreigners, in general, than a particular group. |

Pakkis. That term just cracks me up. I think there is going to be some form of racism everywhere. People are afraid of things they don't understand and there are a lot of idiots out there. |

| Being originally from South Africa, I have a pretty good idea on how racist a majority can be, but I'll tell you this after only 3 years in the UK, they arent far off :rolleyes: |

I never got why people are racist. I understand stereotyping, but hating someone just because they are a different race is pathetic. In the USA it seems that people tend to be more racist if they live down south.
PS: I don't condone stereotyping, I just understand it. |

England is a strange place in terms of race and religion. Where I'm originally from, there are practically no ethnic minorities or people of any religion (other than Christian, and even those are few and far between). But then after going to uni, I've lived in a place where there is a large variety in race and religion. It's been one huge learning curve for me.
I was completely naïve about racism until I started uni. Only then, after meeting people of different races and religions, did I see the effects of racism for myself. It's quite weird actually, being in what's called a "white country" and walking along the street having racist remarks being shouted at me by a group of black kids. Still, life goes on. :p
The strangest thing of all though to me, is how somebody's race seems to be such a big deal to everybody except white people. I mean, just listen to black people or people from Pakistan talking to each other, having a general conversation. The number of times that they refer to themselves (in a non-insulting way, of course) as "******" or "paki" is gobsmacking, but I've never said to my white friends, or heard any white person, call someone else a "white boy". Lol, I've been called that before by some of my mates at uni, and that's just how it is, it's just their way.
Still makes me laugh though.
:haha: |
