I would from my experience over the years of mixing with both Spanish people (from Spain) and Latinos from the Americas, I would have to say it "appears" that Spaniards are "racist". But once you understand what the situation is it turns out that they are more harshly ignorant and unexposed to other cultures. Spanish people are very Spanish orientated. In the US, I would say racism is more true to the term, as you have multiple generations of white Americans brought up with and around black and brown people for generations, and yet there's still so much beef. Spanish people are even a little funny towards Latinos, but I think its just jealousy because Latinos have better swag, prettier women in masses, and know how to mix and travel around the would a little more with a warm soul. That's my opinions based on interactions with both of them.
@@fedorafoxPRIME thanks man. I share this exact sentiment. I was in Madrid & Barcelona last week & I noticed that people who lived there from other nationalities were very welcoming and endearing but the homegrown Spaniards were very abrasive & stand-offish. Their energy felt like a force field. But the Latin, African and other ethnicities were super cool. I definitely won't be going back there anytime soon.
😂 Yeah I totally understand where you're coming from. But have you ever considered that keeping our distance from people who are not welcoming only helps to empower the separation...? What I have learnt now after speaking to Africans living there is that, when Africans came to Spain over the past 15-20 years ago, they were caught up in the hustle of robbing and snatching handbags. However, this was because the Spanish Government were not allowing them to be employed.... Eventually someone must have had a revelation and allowed them to have ease of access to employment, which then gave all the natural hard working Africans the chance to contribute to the Spanish life and systems. Since then the Mainstream Media had less and less stories to show to Spaniards hearing/watching reports of illegal activities in the streets. I say that to say this: Americans are more openly racist, and I would prefer that over covert racism haha. But Ignorance and racism are 2 different things.
Depending where you go the UK is quite racist, even with having a lot of black players in our national soccer team. But its just more covert here, and you'll get smiled at lol. This doesn't mean the majority are racist thought. London, Birmingham and Manchester are the cities that you don't experience much racism as its too multicultural for that, and someone will always shut it down (most of the time)
do you think spain is a little racist towards black men?
