Hi I’m from Europe and unfortunately in the past few years I realized how much racism there is in the world which really messes up my mind since that concept didn’t exist for me as a kid and I thought it’s normal that people look different.
Having very pale skin and not having visited too many countries I was wondering if I might encounter any problems in America because of my skin. Can I just talk to anyone or will people reject me because of my skin? (I have blond hair too)
If the bright color is white, you’re probably ok. I say probably because shit is extra weird right now. As I understand it, the darker colors risk being “deported” and by deported, I mean being sent to concentration camps in other countries.
I never would have thought the above sentences would be typed by someone in a rational frame of mind, but… here we are in 2025.
As delightful as you sound, my advice would be to not visit us. We’re in a dark place. While I’d love to meet people like you, we don’t deserve it right now. Shame on us.
Edit: typing is hard
Hey, typing from the back of this black van here. Is that where they’re taking me??
Depends on the van. Were you offered candy?
They goaded me with a Modelo and a slice of mango covered in Tajin.
Gets me every time too.
