Life / Poles are not racist [873]
Sorry, I didn't read all the posts in here, but I'm a caucasian from Brazil and I'm of Italian descent. I have greenish eyes, freckles, dark blond hair and pale sometimes rosy skin. . . In Brazil where the vast majority of the people are either black or brown being white is a disadvantage, I'd say. Funny thing is, I never had any black friends because I studied in very expensive school and lived in white neighborhoods but I saw many on the streets, and those were always shouting offensive words about me, why? Because of my skin color. Now. . . I never really dared to wear a mini-skirt and the likes because I didn't want to see people laughing and pointing at me for being white . . yes I am as white as snow, you can see my veins through my skin and this seem to bother people in my native country a lot. If I'd try to called someone ugly names because of their skin color, I'd be in trouble so why blacks and mestiços can call me ugly because of my skin/eye/hair color? Even though, I don't hate them, I just wonder why is that. . .Jealousy? Do they feel somehow inferior? As soon as I entered a place everyone would stare at me thinking I was from someplace else but Brazil, that's ridiculous, some would try to make conversation trying to speak English with me, can you believe this?! I remember how I used to feel ashamed of being white, but today I love my skin. :)
I lived in Poland over 2 years and I'm very very very happy about the fact that I CAN WEAR A MINI-SKIRT in there, on the streets of Poland because I know people would NOT be shouting at me things like "You skanky white *****". I feel also great here in the U.K as well because most of the people are like me. WHITE as hell!
I'm not racist at all, I just never had black friends and so on, to me they just exist.
Polish people might be racist, just like some Brazilians or Italians are.
I feel good in Europe because I was never discriminated against for being white. In Brazil they would just tell me "The Sun is for all" :(
so that was my 50 cents!
By the way, I love being white and I think white people are so beautiful and I married a blue-eyed blond man from Poland :D (that's just preference, btw)
Still I 'm not racist! See? :)
I think all of us(whites and blacks) can go along with each other, sometimes is possible, sometimes it just ain't. . . that's sad :(
one thing I tell " Never apologize for being white " and racist people are everywhere.
