@@calm123 Maybe it's because they have experienced intensively and violently the intrusion of foreigners like the mughals. That's why they didn't influence the south of India so intensively.
It was never about the colour of skin …a few Indians will be racist or whatever “ist” as long as you are different. Not always negative. If someone was Caucasian .. you should see how much the same pple do a 360 and suck up
Gandhi himself used to request the British in South Africa to treat Indians better than South African blacks because Indians were less dark AKA brown. So in his mind white was the best and dark skin worst. Go figure...
@@utopiac679 you will find racist people in every culture, but we need to educate our people, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims. Of course my Sikh friends are lovely people.
@utopiac679 Sikh people can be racist too. You talk as if people are stupid. I recall being called the n-word in college by a Punjabi Sikh on the elevator after our college course was over. This was a class on Sikh culture and I got along extremely well with our professor and had a deep interest in it. The rest of the class were Indian descent students likely taking it as an easy elective. Anywho, the one that called me an n-word gave a fake apology the following class saying that he grew up in the hood and has baby mothers while laughing. I didn’t say anything and just brushed him off because I knew what he was doing. He thought that because I was the only brother in class that I was an easy target and he had a group to back him up (pretty weak if you ask me). With that, he figured that if he could elicit a negative reaction out of me that he and his mates can lie and say I was the aggressor thus getting me kicked out of school and trying to get me arrested. I knew what his game was as he didn’t want to see me getting the same education as him let alone excelling in a course about his own culture. I play chess not checkers and wasn’t going to let him rob me of a degree and a good future. In short, your assertion and projection onto the Hindus as far as racism goes is disingenuous at best. At the end of the day he was just a fraud in terms of his Sikh culture and faith. He was nothing more than a devil wearing garbs and at best a “cultural” Sikh. People like him need to really learn what it is they believe in.
As an indian with black complexion, I've faced passive racism all my life growing up in northern parts of India. After moving to south India, I kind of feel at ease. Even last month, when I was visiting my hometown, some guy told me something about my colour. I couldn't say anything back. It just made sad. And these encounters are hard to forget. Anyways, kudos to you. You hamdled those 2 racists with grace.
One day somebody on the road gave me advice which has stuck with me forever. They said "never let things outside affect your inner peace". It sounds simple but is the most powerful when you apply it in real life. Had a bad day at work? Had somebody call u ugly? Had somebody who insulted you? Has somebody who bullied you? Don't let it ruin your inner peace. When you leave from there Just remove it out of your mind. Live in the present. Just consider it as secondary moments in life because your inner peace is priority.
@@abdixplorer If you seriously believe that then you suffer from some sort of persecution complex. They realized they were being offensive only towards the end and they were embarrassed when they realized that. Maybe one of the guys was having fun at your expense, but it was good-natured ribbing from his POV. They kind we do among friends, because they were being friendly in their own way.

I'm Indian myself (Punjabi) and guys like the ones at the start make me ashamed of being Indian. I believe it comes from their self hate. They themselves have felt inferior to white people for so long and still do, that it makes them feel better about themselves if they look down on others. We're definitely not all like that. Some of us know the truth about our history and don't feel inferior to anyone. Therefore don't feel the need to look down on other's. You handled the whole situation with class tho brother. Take care 🙏🏾
@@Hellotherepeopleofthew cut the crap. You know how racist our people are. All my friends and most of my male cousins/brothers all like to look down on black people. I argue with them all the time about it. Indians have had their minds colonised just like our land was. That's why light skin is favoured and dark skin isn't. Until we recognise and diagnose the problem it can never be cured.

I just watched all the white guys travel vlogs. This is so so different than theirs. Its crazy how racist these Indians are while they too have similar skin colour.
I am an Indian, when I see videos of my people facing racism in foreign land, I won't even think about supporting them in the comment section. Because I am a dark skinned guy and I faced such racist comments from my own people. I would comment, " this is what you've been doing to dark skin guys in your nation, now just get bullied by the real whites".
@@Dickos12The beauty standard is white. The cream of the crop here is white which is the upper class. It also has to do with Africa‘s image. Everyone knows that europeans are wealthy, so they are treated with much warmth.
The whole world is taking about the gang rape of a Spanish tourist that was traveling on motor bike with her husband. They tied her husband up and 7 men gang raped this poor woman. So disgusting!! They had traveling thru Nepal and Pakistan and never had any problems until they came to India!! The PM brags all the time how great Indians are and he even said that India was the first country in the world to successfully transplant an elephant head onto a human body. He said Indians should be very proud as they are first in the world because of their religion. You can Google this, as these are all Facts. An average of nearly 90 rapes a day were reported in India in 2022, according to data from India’s National Crime Records Bureau. That is equivalent to a rape every 18 minutes. And these are just from the ones reported. We know that there are many that go unreported!!! Women are not treated well in India. Look at the PM himself...he abandoned his wife on his honeymoon night and never divorced her, she has had to live in poverty while he lives in the upmost luxury with his Nepali Boys and peacocks. This is how women are treated in India from the very top! How do you expect change??? He is worshipped instead. This is India. They may not feel SHAME but the whole international community is talking about India's past time. Where cows are better protected. Sad. So much religion with building so many temples and statues.....but look at the real nature of the country! SHAMEFUL! And the North are very racist against the South who are proud of being Dravdians. The North was invaded by people from peoples from Turkey and Iran, so they have lighter skin. That is also how Hindi is connected to Persian and is an Indo-European language. The South, the Dravdians have their own language, which is the true indigenous to the subcontinent called Tamil, which is one of the oldest languages but the North tried to force the South to make Hindi the language for all of India. This is because of the Hindu Right wing who are very powerful and want to make India a nation of one religion and one language, their language, Hindi. And because the South objected to Hindi, you will see a lot of very racist comments for the South because they have darker skin. The reason India is so successful is because of the South, they create all the wealth to support most of the States except maybe Maharashtra. Yet, the folk in the North have very respect for the folk in the South, and also bring up color and the comments used to be very nasty as YT could not decipher the language and the words used to mock the South because of their dark skin. Ever since the current PM has come to power the attacks on minorities has increased ten fold. Last year thousands of Christians were slaughtered in the State of Manipur. The government refuses to release the exact numbers of Christians that have been killed. When you have bad leadership at the top it filters down to the bottom. If you travel through the South you will see a big difference. The South is very friendly and they smile and are kind. They also don't scam you. However there are folk that have moved from the North to the South so you may encounter them. But generally in the rular areas you will not encounter them. The PM has instill too much false pride and so this creates arrogance and they feel they can say anything even if it is nasty. Now, a lot of folk in the North are not literate and so they lack etiquette to be able to talk politely. A lot if it is ignorance. They have forgotten about the dats when the British would put up signs in front of their buildings, saying "All dogs and Indians are not allowed in the building". India is doing well because Biden pulled all their manufacturering from China and moved it to India. Trump did pull manufacturing out of China but refused to put it in India abd instead moved it to Eastern Europe. He said he didn't trust the leadership as he didn't know if they might get upset about some religious matter and disrupt manufacturing. But Biden and the Democrats want to help Indians come up. But the funny thing is the indians loyal to the PM, denigrate Biden and the Democrats all the time as being weak. They will rather support Trump in an election as they admire him for being so strong. And also because Trump put a ban on all people from Middle East countries...ie of that religion. if i say the religion that YT will get up even if it is true??? Anyhow i hope that explains why you receive the kind of treatment where you are at in India. Instead of trying to progress and do better, they are building more and more temples and statues!! Everything here is fact, and a simple search on Google will confirm everything! Good luck.
These two people that sat next to you are bigots. They said you got lice in hair because you got curly hair. You should go and get a thorough shower. Then their bad english was used to package some insults with some praises, Shameful people, its really insulting to associate with such people as i am Indian myself.
@abdixplorer yep curly hair people get lots of stereotype in india irrespective of color because they associate it with lice. But people in india do not shower and keep clean, the icecream you got was out of an extremely filthy bucket and every indian household has decades old beat up buckets and they shower out of them too. I mean some of them.
@@abdixplorer Yes, there's no excuse for their words and their behavior. Many Indians are treating those restaurant guys with kid gloves. They deserve no sympathy. They were absolutely rude, racist and out of bounds. I am sorry you have to share this world with such ignorant people.

You handled this soooo insanely well. My blood is literally boiling for you. I dont think I couldve stayed this calm. Im amazed how well you handled this, its says a lot about you as a person. I hope you can keep enjoying your travels without these types of encounters. ❤

Loved this video my brother… you carried yourself with so much dignity among such shallow and empty people… it takes bravery and guts to being civil when others arent… one love.
Shallow and empty people ? What is going on under the comment section of this video they don't know the word is bad or why it's bad , and accepted it is when he told them .
They were just trying to be friendly in their own clueless way. I did not detect any malice from those two. And when they saw he was offended, he said they were are same, his brother has curly hair, he looks good/handsome etc. They were good folks, just not sophisticated. Probably from the village. The only racists I see are those in the comments sections. From sweden to africa.

I was an international student in India (pune) from 2013 up to 2018, indians from pune are generally peaceful but things can go south if you are not careful with them ,indians especially the poor ones are not easy to deal with , arguing with an indian person as a lone foreigner can result you being lynch by a mob.traveling india alone is not a good idea. I hope you are safe brother.

@@RajendraAJS I sublet a flat from a guy from India who seemed very nice. I found out too late that he lied about everything and I had to move as quickly as possible to get away from a neighbor who was completely psychotic. One of the last times I spoke to the Indian guy he was "you can't trust someone from India too soon." This is what someone from India said to me about his own people. I should have listened to him before I moved in. I have friends who run an ashram in India and we both agreed that Sikh drivers are more honest and kind. A female coworker dated an Indian of he Brahmin caste, she said he was horrible-5,000 years of inequality in India isn't going away soon.
I'm mixed race White/ Black guy. 5 Years ago I lived in New Zealand for 1 year. the only times I've suffer racism, was from the indians. I love travel but trust me. I will never go to this country.
Sorry for your experience. Not all Indians are like that. Indians get racist remarks too from foreigners that's probably why they said that. But I am not one of them.
What about people from where you are being racist towards Indians. I'm Indian from Northeast region and my husband is black from UK, he half lives here. Not all people are racist. I'm sorry that you met some bad ones.
None were trying to be mean or racist to him they were trying to have fun with him in their own way, problem is communication gap and media portraying funny characters just the way he looks in india. We are not racist, we just find this funny.
@Aurora01001 yeah ig everyone has their own experiences but there is still racism there, for example a lot of people in north india wouldn't want their kids marrying someone from South India mainly because of their darker skin, racism is also much more prevalent online between indians which may not seem like a big deal cause its just the internet but its not something to be proud of and its still wrong
Honestly, being a dark skinned indian, i do face a lot of racism, including from my friends who make fun of my skin colour... Its unfortunate that people think that theres something wrong in being dark skinned when they dont realise that all are god's creations... Indeed these people who make fun of people in such diabolic methods are intellectually ignoramous. They do not realise that whatever color be the skin, underneath that, the flesh and blood of a human are always red ...
I am in South Africa. Plenty of Somalians here recently. We treat Indians well here but I couldn't imagine of going to India for three reasons I can immediately think of as a black person. Vloggers really take you places. 1) Traffic 2) Suspicious food 3) Racism I'd rather go to Ethiopia.
Being in India is life on Master Difficulty. If you were not raised there, that environment would most likely be hell. Especially coming from the U.S. Everyone in India has chapped assholes & smelly pits.
If going to India as a Black person an Indian tour guide is a must. Limited racism, respectful. They treat each other like crap so unless white you get lots of dead stares.
Im there to travel as a black person honestly I didn’t experience any racism honestly, they’re kind, but « tour guides » are the worst kind of person bruh

As a black American who loves to travel and experience different cultures and people, one place I've never had any desire to visit whatsoever is India. I'm fascinated by the Hindu religion, aesthetically it's incredibly beautiful, but I would never step foot in the country it comes from. It honestly just seems like a really backwards place. I'm sure there are a ton of good people in India but the racists are much louder. It doesn't help that a lot of them bring their racism to America.

Bro, I consider you as American as anyone else aside from the natives. There's even lecturers and professors saying there was ENTIRE tribes of black people in the Americans before the European invasion and gncde. So, you are as INDIGENOUS to the Americans (all the Americans by the way) as anyone, if not MORE. Stand on ten toes.

@@abdixplorer Hi, I promise you they were not really being racist. Racism is the concept of feeling superior to another race. They were ill informed curious people trying to prove themselves to be very well informed about the world. 99% in India have no idea that negro is a bad word now. Please remember negro was a harmless word up until a few years ago ( not talking about the n word, talking about the word negro, used to refer to the negro race). In India almost all people think of the word negro as a word for the word black use in the context of race. I promise you this. They meant no harm. In fact, if you did not react the way you did, I would not have thought that word negro would be so hurtful to black man. Please remember the n word is a racist word outright, as in the racist slur in the US, but negro really simple refers to the African race. I am an American who was born in India so know very well where they are coming from.
parents in india DO NOT TEACH their kids how to be a good person and humanity and morality, schools teachers also do not do that. How will most indians learn morality and how to be good. They only learn how to earn , get degrees for a job, and religion gods rituals etc.
@@abdixplorer hey, its really sad to see that you had to experience such form of racism, i am an indian so let me tell you something that would make you feel better- actually these people don't have much social sense, if you interact much with them they assume you are friendly and start bullying or harassing, even indians dont interact randomly with anyone. the communication gap makes everything even more confusing and it gets difficult to confront such people. they cant say this shit to another indian because they know they'll get mobbed and beated badly. my advice- do not interact too much with strangers, only interact if you get very good vibes or with other travellers. i can take a look and tell that these people are not much educated, they have grown up learning stereotypes and probably these scums would never even realise what they just did. for such people, foreigners are more like aliens. nothing can ever justify their behaviour and comments. i hope you take care of these points, it might help you in your journey.

I don’t think I would ever eat street food, not only Indian street food, but any other type of street food, because I am OCD and I don’t trust the hygiene when it comes to street food, and even most restaurants that exist, except for maybe Dutch and Icelandic and Norwegian restaurants that have real good hygiene! I have only ordered factory-packaged products so far! But from what I have seen in videos, in India they don’t even wear gloves, whereas in other countries that have street food they usually wear gloves, so I have to agree with op!

Go to the Caribbean specifically Guyana and Trinidad. There you’ll met a ton of people of Indian descent who love black people as they live among them. They’re known as West Indians, and they’ve been living there for over 200 years.
The lie detector test determines that is an lie.. Those Indians from Trinidad and Guyana are the descendants of these same Indians from India and for the most part they still have the same racist mindset as their ancestors from 150+ years ago.. They only difference is that they speak English not hindi and there is no offical caste system...
They live amongst each other and some of them mix and have kids but I would say it’s far from the truth to say they love black ppl many of them stick and breed with their own

it wasnt the owner, it was other customers trying to make small talk - then one of them says his hair look like they have lice in them, that he should wash them. his friend realizes its not a nice thing to say so he tries mitigating by saying his own brother has curly hair and telling the other guy to stop being weird. there wasn't really any racism here, it was mainly ignorance. these guys probably never saw a somali guy up close irl.
In North of India, I gotta admit that many people there are racist but if you go to South of India like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra it is less racist and there are more friendly and open-minded people compared to northern regions of India.

This infuriates me and brings back so many memories. I was working in India a few years ago and the same thing happened to a colleague of mine. I am of Mexican descent; my skin is white and my eyes are hazel. I was treated like royalty, but sadly my colleague is Ethiopian (who looks very similar to the Somali gentleman in the video) and they treated him like he was garbage... if they weren't insulting him, they were pretending like he was invisible. We were both in Bangalore to train local engineers and sadly enough, the group he was training was pretty much insubordinate. I was very upset and couldn't wait to go back to the US. In the 21st century no one should have to put up with this!
Am sorry he had such a bad experience. In an office environment atleast, they should have been professional. The team leaders or managers should have pulled them up for their behaviour..
What my caste system has anything to do with you ?? I don't blame indians for this behaviour toward b lack people because 25 + yrs ago indians were literally g e nocide by African nation special eastern African nations, and many middle income indians works in those countries and they had very very bad things experience, so it has become like mindset that African are dangerous or uncivilized people and its true in many sense like what happened in south Africa 2 yrs ago with indians and what happening with indian buisnessss in india i don't blame, you as African naver try to change that and here playing victim cwrd , just last year 100 s of indian ships were captured by Somalia and this guy playing victim card 😅go to America for that, and if you have eyes then look closely no one is offending his they are just asking me inocent questions, why Play victim card , calling black people black in crime now ??
@abdixplorer, I'm from India, and I truly feel that you were not treated justly. I'm sorry this happened to you. Stereotyping someone based on race, creed, class or culture is by no means forgivable. I'm sorry this happened to you once again. Stay real my Brother. God Bless.
There really is no country quite like India to push you to your limits in terms of the staring, questioning and giggling you get. I travel there regularly for business and sometimes I just thrive off the alienation I feel as it feeds my strength in myself. Other times however I just do not want to step out of my hotel room. Ive had similar situations to this, speaking in English then someone says something in Hindi I don't understand and others laugh. Clearly a joke directed at me. Don't let ignorant people spoil it for you.
Even though I've have never been to India, this is how I've always traveled, but yeah it does mean that some days, I'll just stay in the hotel and chill. In my mind, centuries of traditions do not move out of the way because I stepped out of the taxi cab. Keep bossing it!!
I know exactly what you are talking about. Funny thing is they act so polite when they are over here in Australia, but you get to see the true colours when you go to the motherland. Most self conceited nation on earth.
@@YouMeChai Please read my comment again as I do not see where I have "assumed" anything. I am simply expressing how it is to be different in India. To be a Gora, Gala etc unfortunately does mean you have a different experience of India than an Indian will have. I have had some amazing experiences in your country also. I have traveled to 81 different countries and India is the 1 place that I tell people they must visit at least once for the sheer intensity of it. Sometime I love India, other times I cant wait to get on the plane. Often depends on what my mental state is like when I arrive because the constant staring, pointing, questioning, name calling from annoying young men can really wear me down.
I am a black woman (African American) not very dark just brown skinned and I married an Indian man whom I have 3 children with and we got into a heated argument one day and said black people come from monkeys. I was so hurt I couldn’t believe what I was hearing
I'm glad you pulled the plug ASAP. The minute you noticed they were racist, the one on the left was grade A racist. The opposite one was pretending to be apologetic, but he's a sneaky racist too. In fact, the whole place had a bad energy. Anyway, I'm proud of you. Keep calm and curry on
As an Indian I am absolutely disgusted and disheartened that you had to go through this kinda treatment! All I can do is, Hope that you encounter some kind souls along the way if there is ever a next time! Nothing but love for you man!
You are such a kind and educated young man. My blood was boiling watching those psychopaths trying to ruin your meal and smirking like true devils. Anyway, they will meet their own karma sooner or later and learn the toughest way, because what goes around comes around. All the best my young felllow.
@@lindar6326 You are very ignorant. All of India is not poor. There are rich areas, sky scrapers . etc. Watch vids. modern India. You will be surprise. A country with the 5th largest economy cannot be all poor.
Bro , i am so sorry that you had to experience this in india. A lot of south african students study in my college. Hope you have better experiences elsewhere.
For all the haters: here are some facts about India. 1. India is a wonderful country! 2. By far the cleanest country in the world! 3. We don’t scam people. It’s a myth. 4. Rape is almost nonexistent. 5. Corruption is even lower than Scandinavian countries. 6. Street food is the most delicious and safest to eat in all of euroasia. (Yes Asia and Europe are the same continent. 7. The streets in all India are very quiet and pleasant 8. English speaking countries are jealous of our accent especially Americans. Indian English sounds identical to British English and Indians do not sound like they have a hot dog in their mouth when they're speaking it. 9. The water from the Yamuna river is safe to drink and very tasty. 😋 10. India was the most powerful nation in military and riches. No other nation could outmatch it. Until this tiny island from halfway across the world conquered us and stole 55 trillion dollars from us. (We demand reparations immediately!) 11. White western women go crazy over Indian men. We are their fetish. 12. It is everyone’s dream to come and live in India permanently especially people in the western world. The world is jealous of our clean and safe country! 🇮🇳

India is the most racist country towards us blacks. Obviously not all of them are racist but most are. Over here in the uk / london ive had more racist experiences with them than any other race.
Indians are racist to each other who are you? LOOOOOL these guys don't leave each other. It is a part of the caste system they invented and made a part of Hinduism.
In the UK, the most racist people are non white immigrants, Indians, Pakistanis, africans, carribean people and above all muslims as they will engage in violence especially sexual violence against native white women...
I have had these types of experiences in nearly every foreign country I've visited, where some local have the audacity to either mock or insult me. You are wise, in that the last thing you want to do as a foreigner is to start fighting people. Those people are cowards.
It's not about racism, Indian have a fascination with white skin. It's cultural in india to prefer light skin as better than dark skin. Alought india has mixed of all skin colors , typically mother's would tell kids not to play in the sun so that they don't get tanned. Hence therefore my lots of Indian friends were called black when they weren't actually black just more dark brown then rest. Greatest thing about racist is they are everywhere.
But you Somalians never regard yourselves as BLACK...However, the rest of the world is NOT color blind.They see you, they see Black...and treat you accordingly just like in this video.The Somalian in this video got reminded that he's BLACK.
As an Indian, I’m sorry for your experience. You handled it like a pro. It is coming from a place of insecurity and a mindset that’s stuck in the 12th century. Same people will go gaga if they see a white person.
Salute to this handsome young lad for handling the situation with respect and class.

I feel so bad for this bro - the hurt look his face when they were saying 'worms in the hair'. I went to school with Indians and they always treated me respectfully . I felt the animosity immediately and from the cook, the waiter - its like they all went into south mode! I have seen other vlogs and how the Indians fawn over white people and the difference is shocking.
Maybe he tried flirting with one of their women or one of the local women flirted with him or hugged him, we don't know the full story. If the latter it's not his fault, but in Punjabi culture the woman is never at fault for cheating, it's the guy she cheats with who is at fault. It's kinda like the Albanian honor code, that the woman cannot cheat, only the guy who pursued her is guilty of cheating.
Here a little video about black guys punching randomly white women in the streets of New York.. Oh !!! those poor weepy black men.. th-cam.com/video/NhPdXaTF67U/w-d-xo.html

I am an Indian woman. I am extremely sorry about your terrible experience in India brother. Please forgive us. I am apologizing on the behalf on my countrymen for mistreating you. This is the reason why foreigners dont want to visit India. We have a lot of shallow and mannerless people in our country. Sorry bro. By the way i love the Somali culture.
Shutt up dude this type of guys only post bad things about India. Remember there are 28 states , 141 crore people with different traditions and culture

@@Kingofnothing-n3b just visit south india . Like kerala, Goa, Tamil Nadu, karnadaka, etc I'm from Kerala You can see the vlogs of foreigners when they come to Kerala. Actually, there are different places in India and the people are completely different. Example We Keralites are few who know Hindi here the language is Malayalam as well as in Karnataka where Kannada is spoken, Telugu is spoken in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil in Tamilnadu Similarly, the looks and tradition of all of them are different. Hospitality is more in South India because I am a teenager who has traveled all over India and in my own country in North India I have experienced some racism especially from the locals. But when I was in south India I never experienced any racism and the people there are very friendly.
You can buy skin whitening kits from the pharmacies in India. They even ran TV adverts where a dark skinned Indian man couldn’t get promotion until he tried one of the kits, he then went for another promotion having become several shades whiter and got the job. None of this is common knowledge in Britian. I have been visiting India since 2000, I was there for a month last February, I don’t judge.
skin whitening in India has been huge for decades now. its screams internalized racism. even koreans are obsessed with white. both countries have skin whitening practices. the witer the better.

I'm sorry you came across people like that while you were trying to enjoy your meal and experience. As you were staying super cool and polite, my heart was breaking for you. I hope they were just really stupid and learned from you and your visit. With that ...This is the first of your videos I've come across... Can't wait to check them all out!! Thanks for sharing!
Proud to be african becouse in africa we dont judge someone by his skin infact there are handereds of thousands of indians in our continent and they are living comfortable even sometimes richer then locals and no one says anything to them.
It’s so sad. Black people are for everyone but everyone isn’t for black people. I love watching travel videos and I’d love to go and explore all cultures and countries but this behaviour isn’t right or fair
Most south asian countries are like this. When the british colonized india, They putted it in the indians mind that they are inferior to the British. So slowly over the years South Asians developed the mentallity of white skin being more beautiful than dark skin. But as a Pakistani, believe me they are not racist. They will treat u like their own brother or sister. They just say these words or comment on ur skin as a joke, they seriously don't mean them
You didn't deserve to be treated that way, brother. Their behavior towards you was just totally uncalled for. Being an Indian person myself, even though I was raised in America, I would've just walked out myself. But I like how you handled, educated them, kept your cool. You said it best, "Hopefully they learned something from you cause' next time they better be prepared to learn the hard way." In the end, every country has its good and bad apples. You still have a long way to go, brother. God bless and stay safe!!😊🙏
First. Your truly very handsome. I’m sorry the experience was had. I will be solo traveling there. India is one of my favorite cultures I have so many Indian friends since Highschool here in America. Thank you brother for your vlog stay proud and black.
As a Indian really really sorry Brother for the Bad Behaviour I feel very ashamed for such bad behaviour even though we Indians are Black too love from India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇸🇴 🇸🇴
Indians are insecure about their skin color kuz I’m keep seeing them advertising whitening products to make your skin lighter like why don’t you appreciate ur own skin and love the way god create you like who are they tryna impress the whites, I tell you they never be white and have respect kuz if you hate yourself so much don’t respect others to like you
You are a strong and clever man and i respect you alot. Sadly you met some very uneducated idiots so you tackled that on a good way brother. Great to see you in a crazy country such as india. I had some crazy times my self over there. Respect. Hope we meet some day on our travels
The way you dealt with everyone being so awful just makes me respect you more and watch your videos. Rise above their terrible behaviour and be proud for the man you have become. ❤
Wowww!!! I am actually shocked this is terrible I’ve watched videos were a white person has gone to India and they are all smiles and shaking hands but in this video I can even feel the negativity from just watching it tell yea what mate you handled it like a boss!!!!!!

I LOVE your hair!!!! It's so full, healthy and gorgeous. Brilliant afro. I've been trying to get my hair to grow longer so I can have a big glorious fro like yours.
You work hard, save some money and decide to travel to a foreign country...With eagerness, enthusiasm, excitement and optimism you wish to discover and explore the country, its culture and people....but when you actually go there you are unpleasantly surprised with such horrific encounters...I mean this is just sad and it spoils your adventure! I'm Indian myself and dark skinned and this is the reason why I hesitate to travel abroad, particularly in countries where the majority is light skinned
I understand bigotry and racism in India all too well, even among their own people. But, one word of advice for anyone heading into a foreign country. Unless you have distinct business in a foreign country, I don't care if it's Norway or Myanmar, if you don't speak the language, fluently, you're setting yourself up for a worse experience than you may have otherwise had. People are far more likely to have a more neutral, if not civil, approach when there isn't a language barrier. That's not always the case, but if you're fluent in their language and culture before you get to a place, you'll have a much easier time navigating the land AND the people. Despite their reservations, predilections, inherent dispositions or biases. Psychologically "most people" are less likely to challenge you if you can communicate with them on their terms. Consider that before taking that trip.
@@jackspratt7264 That's true however there are plenty of liberal places in countries, and more liberal (as in open, welcoming) countries where English is spoken by many. As ironic as it may seem for some now I'd argue come to Germany for example and the Rhineland region or Berlin where no one will likely care how you look or give you slack. Especially some areas being generally more tourist focused or friendly. Point being it helps to speak the language definitely, but I don't view it as such a hard requirement or strong suggestion in some places that are, I guess, used to international traffic or impacts and people. And to be fair for most tourists who do not intend to invest a lot of time into a culture, language and nation and intend to repeatedly visit, learning a language there fluently just for a potential impulsive one-time visit isn't feasible.
@@Unknown-ek1ox I disagree. It's the same with fighting. You may NEVER get into one in your entire life, but if you are versed in hand to hand combat and you should find yourself in that position, then at least you'd have a much better chance to defend yourself or even prevail than if you couldn't even throw a punch. It's the same with learning to swim or skill set like that. You may not have pools in your area or an ocean or swimming hole, but if you should ever find yourself in a position where swimming is the difference between living and dying, best to know the basics. Same with short trips and tourism.Learn the language, regardless of how "impractical" you may think it is. It will make everything more manageable and give you more of an equal footing in a place where everyone else can communicate with ease. Places are about the people, if I go to a place and I can't communicate with the people, what am I doing there?
@@jackspratt7264 Let me put it to you in my own view: I'm interested in visiting several places on this Earth before I might perish of old age (hopefully old age). Some of these include South Korea, Japan and maybe Ukraine. Maybe the US. And England again. US and England are covered, I speak English relatively fluently even if sometimes specific words slip from my mind but then I can usually find alternative descriptions. Then what is left? Ukraine, South Korea, Japan. All three places with distinct cultures and languages. As a European Ukraine hits home the most and I find their culture and hardships interesting enough that I could envision investing more into them and learning the language to a sufficient level. I could imagine travelling there a few more times than just once in my life. This is where I'm ready to invest. What is left is South Korea and Japan. Two unique interesting places I however just want to see or witness maybe once in my life and then maybe see if I want to invest more or not. It just wouldn't be feasible for me to learn three additional languages to a fluent level. One language alone takes many years and ideally repeated written or verbal interactions (or trainings) to get right. It's just not feasible for a lot of people to learn the language of all their travel destinations to a fluent level. At least not in any small time frame. Especially for one time visits or tries it's easier to try your luck with English if enough (even if not all) people speak it around more tourist friendly destinations. Again mind you I'm talking about impulsive or limited tourism, not moving there fully. It's ideal to know the language well, but again I think not feasible for all or everyone depending on their stay.
@@Unknown-ek1ox If you say so. But I maintain that the greatest sign of respect you can show a people whose nation you're visiting is that you took the time to learn how to talk to the people. Traveling isn't just about sight seeing. There are humans there that have cultivate the land and made a society. Even if you're going to only be there for a brief time or just once, having the ability to communicate not only helps you, but it makes it less difficult for the locals to interact with you. And these days, you can learn a language efficiently enough in one month's time for you to be conversational, at the very least, for free on your cell phone. To me, especially given the convenience that the internet provides in helping one learn a language quickly, there's really no excuse not to. To me going to a foreign country and not being able to speak to the locals is like going to a foreign country with no spending cash. You're automatically at a gross disadvantage. And it's only going to cause problems when that thing that you didn't equip yourself with ends up being a necessary component to your safety, comfort and ability to navigate the environment with purpose and ease. If you can't spend 4 weeks learning how to communicate wherever you're going then, I don't know what to say.
Not a single smile from anyone he interacted with until they were being weird and racist. The people absolutely hated this man before he spoke a word.

@@utopiac679 you will find racist people in every culture, but we need to educate our people, Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims. Of course my Sikh friends are lovely people.
Shut up!
@utopiac679
Sikh people can be racist too. You talk as if people are stupid. I recall being called the n-word in college by a Punjabi Sikh on the elevator after our college course was over. This was a class on Sikh culture and I got along extremely well with our professor and had a deep interest in it.
The rest of the class were Indian descent students likely taking it as an easy elective. Anywho, the one that called me an n-word gave a fake apology the following class saying that he grew up in the hood and has baby mothers while laughing. I didn’t say anything and just brushed him off because I knew what he was doing.
He thought that because I was the only brother in class that I was an easy target and he had a group to back him up (pretty weak if you ask me). With that, he figured that if he could elicit a negative reaction out of me that he and his mates can lie and say I was the aggressor thus getting me kicked out of school and trying to get me arrested.
I knew what his game was as he didn’t want to see me getting the same education as him let alone excelling in a course about his own culture. I play chess not checkers and wasn’t going to let him rob me of a degree and a good future. In short, your assertion and projection onto the Hindus as far as racism goes is disingenuous at best. At the end of the day he was just a fraud in terms of his Sikh culture and faith. He was nothing more than a devil wearing garbs and at best a “cultural” Sikh. People like him need to really learn what it is they believe in.
Yes Gandhi was a racist
As an indian with black complexion, I've faced passive racism all my life growing up in northern parts of India. After moving to south India, I kind of feel at ease. Even last month, when I was visiting my hometown, some guy told me something about my colour. I couldn't say anything back. It just made sad. And these encounters are hard to forget. Anyways, kudos to you. You hamdled those 2 racists with grace.
One day somebody on the road gave me advice which has stuck with me forever. They said "never let things outside affect your inner peace". It sounds simple but is the most powerful when you apply it in real life. Had a bad day at work? Had somebody call u ugly? Had somebody who insulted you? Has somebody who bullied you? Don't let it ruin your inner peace. When you leave from there Just remove it out of your mind. Live in the present. Just consider it as secondary moments in life because your inner peace is priority.

The whole world is taking about the gang rape of a Spanish tourist that was traveling on motor bike with her husband. They tied her husband up and 7 men gang raped this poor woman. So disgusting!! They had traveling thru Nepal and Pakistan and never had any problems until they came to India!!
The PM brags all the time how great Indians are and he even said that India was the first country in the world to successfully transplant an elephant head onto a human body. He said Indians should be very proud as they are first in the world because of their religion. You can Google this, as these are all Facts.
An average of nearly 90 rapes a day were reported in India in 2022, according to data from India’s National Crime Records Bureau. That is equivalent to a rape every 18 minutes. And these are just from the ones reported. We know that there are many that go unreported!!!
Women are not treated well in India.
Look at the PM himself...he abandoned his wife on his honeymoon night and never divorced her, she has had to live in poverty while he lives in the upmost luxury with his Nepali Boys and peacocks. This is how women are treated in India from the very top! How do you expect change??? He is worshipped instead. This is India. They may not feel SHAME but the whole international community is talking about India's past time. Where cows are better protected. Sad.

And the North are very racist against the South who are proud of being Dravdians. The North was invaded by people from peoples from Turkey and Iran, so they have lighter skin. That is also how Hindi is connected to Persian and is an Indo-European language. The South, the Dravdians have their own language, which is the true indigenous to the subcontinent called Tamil, which is one of the oldest languages but the North tried to force the South to make Hindi the language for all of India. This is because of the Hindu Right wing who are very powerful and want to make India a nation of one religion and one language, their language, Hindi. And because the South objected to Hindi, you will see a lot of very racist comments for the South because they have darker skin. The reason India is so successful is because of the South, they create all the wealth to support most of the States except maybe Maharashtra. Yet, the folk in the North have very respect for the folk in the South, and also bring up color and the comments used to be very nasty as YT could not decipher the language and the words used to mock the South because of their dark skin.
Ever since the current PM has come to power the attacks on minorities has increased ten fold. Last year thousands of Christians were slaughtered in the State of Manipur. The government refuses to release the exact numbers of Christians that have been killed.
When you have bad leadership at the top it filters down to the bottom.
If you travel through the South you will see a big difference. The South is very friendly and they smile and are kind. They also don't scam you. However there are folk that have moved from the North to the South so you may encounter them. But generally in the rular areas you will not encounter them.
The PM has instill too much false pride and so this creates arrogance and they feel they can say anything even if it is nasty. Now, a lot of folk in the North are not literate and so they lack etiquette to be able to talk politely. A lot if it is ignorance.
They have forgotten about the dats when the British would put up signs in front of their buildings, saying "All dogs and Indians are not allowed in the building".
India is doing well because Biden pulled all their manufacturering from China and moved it to India. Trump did pull manufacturing out of China but refused to put it in India abd instead moved it to Eastern Europe. He said he didn't trust the leadership as he didn't know if they might get upset about some religious matter and disrupt manufacturing. But Biden and the Democrats want to help Indians come up. But the funny thing is the indians loyal to the PM, denigrate Biden and the Democrats all the time as being weak. They will rather support Trump in an election as they admire him for being so strong. And also because Trump put a ban on all people from Middle East countries...ie of that religion. if i say the religion that YT will get up even if it is true???
Anyhow i hope that explains why you receive the kind of treatment where you are at in India.
Instead of trying to progress and do better, they are building more and more temples and statues!!
Everything here is fact, and a simple search on Google will confirm everything! Good luck.

@@abdixplorer Hi, I promise you they were not really being racist. Racism is the concept of feeling superior to another race. They were ill informed curious people trying to prove themselves to be very well informed about the world. 99% in India have no idea that negro is a bad word now. Please remember negro was a harmless word up until a few years ago ( not talking about the n word, talking about the word negro, used to refer to the negro race). In India almost all people think of the word negro as a word for the word black use in the context of race. I promise you this. They meant no harm. In fact, if you did not react the way you did, I would not have thought that word negro would be so hurtful to black man. Please remember the n word is a racist word outright, as in the racist slur in the US, but negro really simple refers to the African race. I am an American who was born in India so know very well where they are coming from.
parents in india DO NOT TEACH their kids how to be a good person and humanity and morality, schools teachers also do not do that. How will most indians learn morality and how to be good. They only learn how to earn , get degrees for a job, and religion gods rituals etc.
@@abdixplorer hey, its really sad to see that you had to experience such form of racism, i am an indian so let me tell you something that would make you feel better- actually these people don't have much social sense, if you interact much with them they assume you are friendly and start bullying or harassing, even indians dont interact randomly with anyone.
the communication gap makes everything even more confusing and it gets difficult to confront such people.
they cant say this shit to another indian because they know they'll get mobbed and beated badly.
my advice- do not interact too much with strangers, only interact if you get very good vibes or with other travellers.
i can take a look and tell that these people are not much educated, they have grown up learning stereotypes and probably these scums would never even realise what they just did.
for such people, foreigners are more like aliens.
nothing can ever justify their behaviour and comments.

小哥哥你的教养很好，吃相非常好看，在哪个国家都是受欢迎的人，没想到在印度居然就遭到无端地歧视
This infuriates me and brings back so many memories. I was working in India a few years ago and the same thing happened to a colleague of mine. I am of Mexican descent; my skin is white and my eyes are hazel. I was treated like royalty, but sadly my colleague is Ethiopian (who looks very similar to the Somali gentleman in the video) and they treated him like he was garbage... if they weren't insulting him, they were pretending like he was invisible. We were both in Bangalore to train local engineers and sadly enough, the group he was training was pretty much insubordinate. I was very upset and couldn't wait to go back to the US. In the 21st century no one should have to put up with this!
Am sorry he had such a bad experience. In an office environment atleast, they should have been professional. The team leaders or managers should have pulled them up for their behaviour..
@@anuferns are you sure the team leaders or managers are any way better than the team members? or could they be more racism leaning?
They do the same to fellow Indians. The South Indians are dark and get discriminated against
What my caste system has anything to do with you ?? I don't blame indians for this behaviour toward b lack people because 25 + yrs ago indians were literally g e nocide by African nation special eastern African nations, and many middle income indians works in those countries and they had very very bad things experience, so it has become like mindset that African are dangerous or uncivilized people and its true in many sense like what happened in south Africa 2 yrs ago with indians and what happening with indian buisnessss in india i don't blame, you as African naver try to change that and here playing victim cwrd , just last year 100 s of indian ships were captured by Somalia and this guy playing victim card 😅go to America for that, and if you have eyes then look closely no one is offending his they are just asking me inocent questions, why Play victim card , calling black people black in crime now ??
@@ENGLISHMURPHY People in this video are even darker
@abdixplorer, I'm from India, and I truly feel that you were not treated justly. I'm sorry this happened to you. Stereotyping someone based on race, creed, class or culture is by no means forgivable. I'm sorry this happened to you once again. Stay real my Brother. God Bless.

I must be honest as an Indian...we are very racist to all blacks. This is a fact no one can deny. We love whites even more than indians.
Are you proud of this thing ?
@Tonymontana31-r2s no it's a sad reality and a big shame
Same with my country
Whyt are one of the gods you worship
I’ve met some Indian women that love black men
There really is no country quite like India to push you to your limits in terms of the staring, questioning and giggling you get. I travel there regularly for business and sometimes I just thrive off the alienation I feel as it feeds my strength in myself. Other times however I just do not want to step out of my hotel room. Ive had similar situations to this, speaking in English then someone says something in Hindi I don't understand and others laugh. Clearly a joke directed at me. Don't let ignorant people spoil it for you.
Even though I've have never been to India, this is how I've always traveled, but yeah it does mean that some days, I'll just stay in the hotel and chill. In my mind, centuries of traditions do not move out of the way because I stepped out of the taxi cab. Keep bossing it!!
yeah it's not a country that's high on my bucketlist
I know exactly what you are talking about. Funny thing is they act so polite when they are over here in Australia, but you get to see the true colours when you go to the motherland. Most self conceited nation on earth.
Same happens in your whatever Western country with Indians
@@YouMeChai Please read my comment again as I do not see where I have "assumed" anything. I am simply expressing how it is to be different in India. To be a Gora, Gala etc unfortunately does mean you have a different experience of India than an Indian will have. I have had some amazing experiences in your country also. I have traveled to 81 different countries and India is the 1 place that I tell people they must visit at least once for the sheer intensity of it. Sometime I love India, other times I cant wait to get on the plane. Often depends on what my mental state is like when I arrive because the constant staring, pointing, questioning, name calling from annoying young men can really wear me down.
I am a black woman (African American) not very dark just brown skinned and I married an Indian man whom I have 3 children with and we got into a heated argument one day and said black people come from monkeys. I was so hurt I couldn’t believe what I was hearing
I'm glad you pulled the plug ASAP. The minute you noticed they were racist, the one on the left was grade A racist. The opposite one was pretending to be apologetic, but he's a sneaky racist too. In fact, the whole place had a bad energy.
Anyway, I'm proud of you. Keep calm and curry on
People are racist, deal with it. Everyone on Earth has implicit or explicit generalizations about races.
As an Indian I am absolutely disgusted and disheartened that you had to go through this kinda treatment! All I can do is, Hope that you encounter some kind souls along the way if there is ever a next time! Nothing but love for you man!
Are you currently living in india?
You are such a kind and educated young man. My blood was boiling watching those psychopaths trying to ruin your meal and smirking like true devils.

Eating street food in India is the equivalent of playing Russian roulette, with a fully loaded pistol.
For all the haters: here are some facts about India.
1. India is a wonderful country!
2. By far the cleanest country in the world!
3. We don’t scam people. It’s a myth.
4. Rape is almost nonexistent.
5. Corruption is even lower than Scandinavian countries.
6. Street food is the most delicious and safest to eat in all of euroasia. (Yes Asia and Europe are the same continent.
7. The streets in all India are very quiet and pleasant
8. English speaking countries are jealous of our accent especially Americans. Indian English sounds identical to British English and Indians do not sound like they have a hot dog in their mouth when they're speaking it.
9. The water from the Yamuna river is safe to drink and very tasty. 😋
10. India was the most powerful nation in military and riches. No other nation could outmatch it. Until this tiny island from halfway across the world conquered us and stole 55 trillion dollars from us. (We demand reparations immediately!)
11. White western women go crazy over Indian men. We are their fetish.
12. It is everyone’s dream to come and live in India permanently especially people in the western world. The world is jealous of our clean and safe country! 🇮🇳

India is the most racist country towards us blacks. Obviously not all of them are racist but most are. Over here in the uk / london ive had more racist experiences with them than any other race.
Surprisingly his trips to Pakistan were great
It's the same in America. I have never met a kind, friendly person from India. They never smile or acknowledge people. smh!
Indians are racist to each other who are you? LOOOOOL these guys don't leave each other. It is a part of the caste system they invented and made a part of Hinduism.
I guess you havent been to slavic countries as yet where its almost the same towards blacks.
In the UK, the most racist people are non white immigrants, Indians, Pakistanis, africans, carribean people and above all muslims as they will engage in violence especially sexual violence against native white women...
I have had these types of experiences in nearly every foreign country I've visited, where some local have the audacity to either mock or insult me. You are wise, in that the last thing you want to do as a foreigner is to start fighting people. Those people are cowards.

It's not about racism, Indian have a fascination with white skin. It's cultural in india to prefer light skin as better than dark skin. Alought india has mixed of all skin colors , typically mother's would tell kids not to play in the sun so that they don't get tanned. Hence therefore my lots of Indian friends were called black when they weren't actually black just more dark brown then rest. Greatest thing about racist is they are everywhere.
Fellow Somali here my brother I’ve been watching your videos from day one it’s sad what you went through but be strong and keep going.

I feel so bad for this bro - the hurt look his face when they were saying 'worms in the hair'. I went to school with Indians and they always treated me respectfully . I felt the animosity immediately and from the cook, the waiter - its like they all went into south mode! I have seen other vlogs and how the Indians fawn over white people and the difference is shocking.
Maybe he tried flirting with one of their women or one of the local women flirted with him or hugged him, we don't know the full story. If the latter it's not his fault, but in Punjabi culture the woman is never at fault for cheating, it's the guy she cheats with who is at fault. It's kinda like the Albanian honor code, that the woman cannot cheat, only the guy who pursued her is guilty of cheating.
So flirting or hugging a woman makes Punjabi men racist? Stop excusing intolerance! @@ChagossianCheetah
Not all Indians, darker Indians don't say anything, maybe because they can associate them with color, there are darker Indians all over India.

Yup when we go certain country we always search where is the nice place to visit always going up,bihar,Delhi ,Rajasthan straight up and crying about us,what a shame
@@Kingofnothing-n3b just visit south india . Like kerala, Goa, Tamil Nadu, karnadaka, etc I'm from Kerala You can see the vlogs of foreigners when they come to Kerala. Actually, there are different places in India and the people are completely different. Example We Keralites are few who know Hindi here the language is Malayalam as well as in Karnataka where Kannada is spoken, Telugu is spoken in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil in Tamilnadu
Similarly, the looks and tradition of all of them are different. Hospitality is more in South India because I am a teenager who has traveled all over India and in my own country in North India I have experienced some racism especially from the locals.
But when I was in south India I never experienced any racism and the people there are very friendly.
You can buy skin whitening kits from the pharmacies in India. They even ran TV adverts where a dark skinned Indian man couldn’t get promotion until he tried one of the kits, he then went for another promotion having become several shades whiter and got the job. None of this is common knowledge in Britian. I have been visiting India since 2000, I was there for a month last February, I don’t judge.
skin whitening in India has been huge for decades now. its screams internalized racism. even koreans are obsessed with white. both countries have skin whitening practices. the witer the better.
@@powderpuffs4456There was no racism in this video though , just unawareness that happened to create a pretty bad experience for the person which is still bad , but not anywhere near racism or ill will at all .

Proud to be african becouse in africa we dont judge someone by his skin infact there are handereds of thousands of indians in our continent and they are living comfortable even sometimes richer then locals and no one says anything to them.

10000% on the spot
They always come to Africa
Most south asian countries are like this. When the british colonized india, They putted it in the indians mind that they are inferior to the British. So slowly over the years South Asians developed the mentallity of white skin being more beautiful than dark skin. But as a Pakistani, believe me they are not racist. They will treat u like their own brother or sister. They just say these words or comment on ur skin as a joke, they seriously don't mean them
Nope; don't you think that. There are many people who love you like everybody else.
thats why black african people need to stop being nice and give them the same damn treatment instead of kissing they ass simple
You didn't deserve to be treated that way, brother. Their behavior towards you was just totally uncalled for. Being an Indian person myself, even though I was raised in America, I would've just walked out myself. But I like how you handled, educated them, kept your cool. You said it best, "Hopefully they learned something from you cause' next time they better be prepared to learn the hard way."

You work hard, save some money and decide to travel to a foreign country...With eagerness, enthusiasm, excitement and optimism you wish to discover and explore the country, its culture and people....but when you actually go there you are unpleasantly surprised with such horrific encounters...I mean this is just sad and it spoils your adventure!
I'm Indian myself and dark skinned and this is the reason why I hesitate to travel abroad, particularly in countries where the majority is light skinned
I understand bigotry and racism in India all too well, even among their own people. But, one word of advice for anyone heading into a foreign country. Unless you have distinct business in a foreign country, I don't care if it's Norway or Myanmar, if you don't speak the language, fluently, you're setting yourself up for a worse experience than you may have otherwise had. People are far more likely to have a more neutral, if not civil, approach when there isn't a language barrier. That's not always the case, but if you're fluent in their language and culture before you get to a place, you'll have a much easier time navigating the land AND the people. Despite their reservations, predilections, inherent dispositions or biases. Psychologically "most people" are less likely to challenge you if you can communicate with them on their terms. Consider that before taking that trip.
@@jackspratt7264 That's true however there are plenty of liberal places in countries, and more liberal (as in open, welcoming) countries where English is spoken by many. As ironic as it may seem for some now I'd argue come to Germany for example and the Rhineland region or Berlin where no one will likely care how you look or give you slack. Especially some areas being generally more tourist focused or friendly.
Point being it helps to speak the language definitely, but I don't view it as such a hard requirement or strong suggestion in some places that are, I guess, used to international traffic or impacts and people. And to be fair for most tourists who do not intend to invest a lot of time into a culture, language and nation and intend to repeatedly visit, learning a language there fluently just for a potential impulsive one-time visit isn't feasible.
@@Unknown-ek1ox I disagree. It's the same with fighting. You may NEVER get into one in your entire life, but if you are versed in hand to hand combat and you should find yourself in that position, then at least you'd have a much better chance to defend yourself or even prevail than if you couldn't even throw a punch.
It's the same with learning to swim or skill set like that. You may not have pools in your area or an ocean or swimming hole, but if you should ever find yourself in a position where swimming is the difference between living and dying, best to know the basics.
Same with short trips and tourism.Learn the language, regardless of how "impractical" you may think it is. It will make everything more manageable and give you more of an equal footing in a place where everyone else can communicate with ease.
Places are about the people, if I go to a place and I can't communicate with the people, what am I doing there?
@@jackspratt7264 Let me put it to you in my own view:
I'm interested in visiting several places on this Earth before I might perish of old age (hopefully old age). Some of these include South Korea, Japan and maybe Ukraine. Maybe the US. And England again.
US and England are covered, I speak English relatively fluently even if sometimes specific words slip from my mind but then I can usually find alternative descriptions.
Then what is left? Ukraine, South Korea, Japan. All three places with distinct cultures and languages. As a European Ukraine hits home the most and I find their culture and hardships interesting enough that I could envision investing more into them and learning the language to a sufficient level. I could imagine travelling there a few more times than just once in my life. This is where I'm ready to invest.
What is left is South Korea and Japan. Two unique interesting places I however just want to see or witness maybe once in my life and then maybe see if I want to invest more or not.
It just wouldn't be feasible for me to learn three additional languages to a fluent level. One language alone takes many years and ideally repeated written or verbal interactions (or trainings) to get right.
It's just not feasible for a lot of people to learn the language of all their travel destinations to a fluent level. At least not in any small time frame.
Especially for one time visits or tries it's easier to try your luck with English if enough (even if not all) people speak it around more tourist friendly destinations.
Again mind you I'm talking about impulsive or limited tourism, not moving there fully.
It's ideal to know the language well, but again I think not feasible for all or everyone depending on their stay.
@@Unknown-ek1ox If you say so. But I maintain that the greatest sign of respect you can show a people whose nation you're visiting is that you took the time to learn how to talk to the people.
Traveling isn't just about sight seeing. There are humans there that have cultivate the land and made a society.
Even if you're going to only be there for a brief time or just once, having the ability to communicate not only helps you, but it makes it less difficult for the locals to interact with you.
And these days, you can learn a language efficiently enough in one month's time for you to be conversational, at the very least, for free on your cell phone.
To me, especially given the convenience that the internet provides in helping one learn a language quickly, there's really no excuse not to.
To me going to a foreign country and not being able to speak to the locals is like going to a foreign country with no spending cash. You're automatically at a gross disadvantage. And it's only going to cause problems when that thing that you didn't equip yourself with ends up being a necessary component to your safety, comfort and ability to navigate the environment with purpose and ease.
If you can't spend 4 weeks learning how to communicate wherever you're going then, I don't know what to say.
