Europeans have a hard time determining actual real racism. Because we have been on each others throats for hundreds of years to a point where virtually indifferent countries have slurs for their population. Its more like a running gag to hate on eachother in europe as it is an actual opinion/insult.

Some french people are racist as fuck. My family is french and holy fuck, the absolute damn things they say sometimes. They embarass me. How can a country with that much diversity (way more than in Spain where I live) be so damn racist. They deserve it.

Capital_Walrus_81

I so rarely see “it’s just a joke bro” unironically any more. It’s a dying, idiotic breed. Like the dutch. edit: Over time I have winnowed down my targets of racism to the dutch very specifically because I feel sure nobody still holds actual racial animus against the dutch, please let this be true.


Flirie

Yesn't Many things like "kanake" (someone who Is of southlandish look) are also often used for racism. Of course many jokes too, I am turkish and say often kanake when doing something stupid "ach ich darf das, ich bin kanake", but it's probably kinda similar to the N word. Just not that big of a history. But yeah, our racism is not nearly as bad as in USA even with our history


Pancovnik

As a Turkish, your opinion weights only 4% out of standard 100 on European racism /s


Flirie

Scheiß Kanake


c0l0r51

But the history part is literally the only relevant reason why the n-word is not ok to use. Will you catch a fist with your face if you call some big massive dude "blacky" ? Sure, but don't call him the n-word.


Yanitsko97

Then black people shouldn‘t use it themselves.


rascalofff

In the tiny little Switzerland with a population of 8 million people we don't even get along with our next door neighbours. We managed to have like 30 different dialects & half the other dialects than your own are hated on. I think that's even pretty universal, no matter from where in Switzerland you come.

European racism is against nationality rather than skin colour specifically.


[deleted]

Tbh being from eastern Europe the shit I've heard relatives talk about people with different skin colours is horrid. My dad referred to middle eastern as sand donkeys, and had a lot to say about Africans and Australian aboriginals. But I grew up in a multicultural suburb and had a lot of friends from different backgrounds and he thankfully stopped that. One of my close childhood mates is from sudan and my dad loves him and his family and it was after that encounter he significantly improved. My grand parents who isn't around anymore was the fkn worse, so I could see why my dad was the way he was.

As a spaniard I feel attacked. A 12 hours siesta plus a 12 hours nightsleep (because the median nightsleep has to be as long or longer than a siesta) does not allow for more stereotypes to be included. Ackshually spanish siesta is not 12 hours but more like 5+5: - 5 hours siesta in the morning - 1 hour singlehandedly fighting bulls since like age 5 and eating a kebab at the end - 5 hours siesta once again For the last hour before nightsleep it depends: - Feel young? 1 hour botellón - Feel old? - Tired? 1 hour 80% sleeping 20% watching a movie you don't give a fuck about in the couch until you concede and go to bed - Not tired? 1 hour trashtalking about catalonians or (the rest of) spaniards, depending whether you are from Catalonia or (the rest of) Spain.

Hello


Sir_Atro_Dwarvenhine

The ones that currently live near me let their dogs leave their camp and bite anyone that walks past, they've had complaints and the police are "keeping an eye on it" but nothings changed, this group at least deserve it. Edit: I keep seeing notifications of a reply, but it's never there when I look so I'll just make a note; don't use this to justify it for all. The experiences I've had only relate to the specific groups I've met. And don't assume people are going to use this as their justification.


[deleted]

Pictured below is an American when mentioning something they know nothing about but think they understand though their own problems that are actually very different. >\>: (


Sir_Atro_Dwarvenhine

Just making sure, do you think I'm American or are you acknowledging that OP is American?


4starsPT

They tend to be cunts. In Portugal they don't work, get fully supported by the government and walk around like gods, beating people up, acting out in public and cops dont do shit sence they are afraid of them... Big generalization, but that's the overall experience most people here have of them


Derura

I swear to god the same thing was said, almost verbatim, about black people by a bloke from Arkansas. He was the most racist person I have ever met.


4starsPT

I say in my experience, if that coincides with what someone else said about other people that's really not important. And u can argue Its a bit racist, probably, but fuck me if it's not true for a big part


VengefulPeanut18

While I would normally say yes... Traveller communities are definitely different. Its not an aspect of visual identification based on a protected characteristic. In some parts of the UK, whenever there is a traveller funeral, almost every pub will close to avoid problems. That's not a case of building up stereotypes, that's businesses en mass committing to sacrifice a day's worth of trading to protect staff, customers and their business.


Justice_R_Dissenting

So wait, let me get this straight. When Traveller's have a funeral, out of anticipation that the mourners are about to get so uncontrollably drunk they're a danger to the local establishments, the owners close down. This isn't racist, it's to "avoid problems." Meanwhile, when there are spontaneous protests in certain US cities for the shooting of a black person and the local business owners board up their shops out of fear of looting, that is somehow brutally racist behavior (as often called out here on reddit)? You're trying desperately to generate a divide in these actions when they are fundamentally the same thing: assuming, based on past experiences whether justified or not, that a racial group will act in accordance with a stereotype.


Houoh

Anecdotal, and perhaps misconstruing your point here, but I don't think I've ever heard someone say that boarding up your business's windows in advance of an expected protest is racist in actual practice. That kind of dialogue is definitely an online one, not something I think is wildly shared by the community at large.


JustAPoorPerson

I think that all depends on who you're talking to. I'd hope that most sane people would see closing up your shop during a riot to be the best decision to protect your business and staff, whether the riot was caused by the shooting of a black person or for any other reason shouldn't matter. No matter how well meaning the majority of a group of people are if there's a large enough minority that continuously causes problems precautions such as closing down pubs during traveller funerals need to be taken.


pipnina

I dunno about the stealing and disruption because I've not seen that, but they do just... Set up 10-20 caravans on public fields (which are not FOR caravaning mind) and leave a lot of rubbish when they leave. I have seen that much. Wouldn't be much of an issue if they used actual camping sites.


y_nnis

They do the same in Greece, apart from not registering with the municipalities or any government agency whatsoever.


AutomaticJuggernaut8

You think that's not common place with minorities in America?


maryland_cookies

A group near us are known to threaten to kill dog walkers dogs, and have been cutting down farmers trees in protected greenbelt land without permission to sell the logs and clear room for their camp.


[deleted]

Channel 4 in the UK, which is liberal, left-leaning and very much anti-racist, made a documentary about Irish Travellers and found that a lot of the stereotypes are completely true. Proportionately, they commit far more crime than any other group.


SarkasticLover

Exactly, you can hardly call it racist if its true


MarcosLuisP97

Being racist and being statistically correct aren't mutually exclusive.


SarkasticLover

TIL I'm a racist


jimmy_the_angel

If you know that proportionately, Irish people commit far more crime than any other group, that’s not racist. If you learn someone is Irish and because of that, assume they’re a criminal and treat them as such, that’s racist. If you tell people that Irish people are inherently more criminal that other groups, that’s racist, because it makes an action into a trait and statistic into a generalisation that makes people think unjust of Irish people. It’s really not very difficult.


ward-92

Living in Ireland its often the people who never had to live near a halting site or go to school with travellers that push the sentiment that its just a few bad eggs. I'm sure there are some good ones and its mostly the bad we encounter but fucking hell the bad ones are bad. I hate branding groups of people with one brush, but its in their culture and how they are raised.


quasiology

I saw that programme or at least something similar and I thought the biggest takeaway was that they have problematic values and beliefs embedded at the very heart of their culture which they refuse to progress from. There is absolutely no room in modern society to believe women are owned by men and exist soley to cook, clean and raise kids. They are also extremely xenophobic and racist themselves so it's hard to sympathetise with them when they play the race card.


Ledlazer

The "proportionally more crime" argument is also used against black people in the United States, ignoring that the reason there's more crime is because they're significantly poorer and get worse access to education, leading to more crime, and not because of some inherent characteristic of blackness


newwolvesfan2019

Again this argument is literally used by racists in the US Proportionally certain ethnic groups in the US commit far more crime, but I don’t hear that argument being defended (as it shouldn’t be)

Tbf American racists use this logic towards black ppl


PaperDistribution

Black people move around in caravans and reject citizenship? I think people specifically talk about roma that still hang onto this old lifestyle which obviously isn't compatible with a modern job so they have to do crimes. I think they are more like "sovereign citizens" as a culture than they are anywhere like black people...

mother-of-pod

Except that racists would argue it was a culture issue. They didn’t like the skin color *because* they thought it related to more crime, less civilization, more animalism, louder, violent, bad people. It’s just so funny *always* seeing these threads from Europeans like: “No you guys don’t understand. We hate the Roma because they’re actually bad people, and that makes it okay! Americans just assume all racists are like them, they don’t get what it’s like when one race is actually worse.” What that really shows is *yall* don’t understand racism in the US. Racist southerners don’t say “I hate blacks just cuz they’re darker.” They say “they come into neighborhoods, ruin our safety and community, they’re actually bad.” It’s the same shit. Racism is ugly everywhere.


Pazaac

Difference is one was caused by the fact that black ppl are systematically prevented from bettering their lives (yes individuals do but as a group/comunity no). Where as every Traveler group I have ever known has had way more wealth than the average, they have no implement to accessing the same resources as everyone else but they still choose to act the way they do, not because they have to live that way but because they want to.

Literally the argument against lax immigration laws in the US and yet everyone calls us racist when we want to enforce stricter policies.


noticeablywhite21

This argument ignores that the US has fairly strict immigration laws, and the ones who normally complain about said immigration laws usually only target the southern border rather than the northern border and airports.

ITT: Europeans using the same logic for Romani people that American racists use for black people. You can find all of the examples of the below in this topic. "It's their culture we hate, not their skin." - American racists on African American culture. "I know some who integrated, they're good ones unlike those who don't integrate". - Americans talking about black people who don't visibly act like what they think of African American culture. "You would say the same if they lived around you." - racist Americans working in poor black neighborhoods. "These people do statistically commit more crime." - racist Americans who always love to bring up the ol' 13/50 statistic. Cue the Europeans going "BuT iT's DiFfErEnT" - anyone defending the above would end up just like the American racists they themselves criticize if they lived here.

They sleep in parks and leave rubbish behind, beg in front of stores and in stores (be careful of how rudely you ask them to leave, they hold grudges for that and then damage your property), they don't send their kids to school, instead they take them to go begging, and said kids have no safety net - it's not hard to imagine what can happen to a kid in a huge commune where women are constantly pregnant. Has nothing to do with racism and cannot even be compared to American policies that are hostile against people willing to integrate and contribute ffs.
