Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.

  TIL posting/having conversations about a characteristic of one country implies that you believe that no other countries have that same characteristic.

  While I’m sure the fact that the dominance of US news and culture on the internet is probably really frustrating for non-Americans, it’s pretty natural for Americans (or anyone, really) to talk about our own country and experiences… especially while having to grapple with how things have been escalating here. You’re certainly free to share your own experiences.

    Or ask a European about their feelings on gypsies and watch them pull out some of the darkest shit you’ve ever heard.

      What’s really fun is that “gypsys” can refer to two entirely different groups of people, both hated out of pure bigotry.

        I was originally gonna say Romani but then I remembered this very detail.

        Europe is honestly just as if not more racist than the US

      While the EU acts more like one country than the US we are not a single country. So it vastly differentiates from country to country.

      Asking people about gypsies will either bring out the worst or they will correct you and say that calling them Gypsies is like calling a black person Niger. Romani is the preferred term btw.

      As long as they aren’t assholes idc, I have had white/white-ish (if you consider Spain genrally white, which some don’t lmao) “friends” that are way worse than gypsies or moroccans (which are other ones that are mentioned often).

    I’m not entirely sure, what you’re advocating for.

    There are Turkish supermarkets, restaurants, döner stalls, and barbers all over the place.

    I also know a Turkish electrician, but I’ll go to him when I need an electrician, not when I need a Turk.
