    The term 'black' does not mean anything in Sri Lanka. If it denotes skin tone, there are many lankans with very dark skin.
    If you mean 'African' when you say 'black', then most Lankans have very little experience dealing with Africans, so won't feel any particular way about them.
    Most Lankans are friendly towards tourists, regardless of their nationality or race.

    Imani you are a genius. In 3 weeks you have not only learned two completely "alien" languages but able to instantly recognise someone's language within seconds. wow. You are a blessing to any country but love your presence in my old country. Amazing that most people going to koneswaram temple were muslim. Trinco is the finest natural port in the world and Winston Churchill regarded that had Trinco fallen to the Japanese ,that would have resulted in a totally different outcome for the eastern British empire.

      Ramayana written in India. Its an epic. These Tamils tell Ravana spoke Tamil. That's the way they try to grab lands. Old Sinhalese civilization was destroyed by South Indian invaders and diseases like malaria. So Sinhalese people abandoned these areas. For tobacco cultivation Duch brought many Tamils to Jaffna and to the East part. That's how their numbers are high. From Jaffna they chased away all Sinhalese and Muslim population. Some Muslims returned after the war. In the East they killed lot of Sinhala buissness men and civilians. Hundreds of Muslims killed inside their mosques. That's how Tamil racism works.
