I would like to say one thing, i distinguish between true racism, xenophobia, and the initial surprise and distrust that one might have towards someone who appears different. The first is a toxic ideology based on the supposed genetic superiority of one race over another; the second is the fear and rejection of something we perceive as different and potentially harmful to our community; while the third is a genuine lack of knowledge, an ignorance towards the different, but one that can be easily overcome. In Italy, being a collection of people, there are certainly true racists, as in every nation in the world. However, contrary to what is often thought, there is no widespread ideological racism. Italy has never historically had a racist culture like Germany, the United States, or South Africa have had. What exists here might be xenophobia, which is obviously not a good thing, but it is fueled by the recent waves of immigration that Italy has had to face only relatively recently, and by the problems that come with it, like all first waves of immigration. In other countries, there is a perception that this does not exist, but very often it is only because these are nations that are simply accustomed to the presence of foreigners because they are former colonial powers, but for this reason they are not fundamentally more tolerant.
What you said is very true and well explained. The situation in Italy is very different from region to region and sometimes we mix the experience. I agree with your thoughts anyway.
This is false. Maybe Italy didn't have a strong culture of racism towards Africans, but other groups were continuously persecuted for the sane reasons blacks were segregated in the US.
@@Thenewbronzeagecollapse Comparing the United States to Italy is somewhat risky, given that these two nations have completely different histories and cultures. Which groups are you referring to exactly? I would be curious to hear your opinion.
Lol black in Italy?! Try being white in LA?? I had the same issues in my own native country!! People don’t think it’s possible for whites to feel racism. that’s the biggest ignorance of allllll
@@ultron-5600 Im not at all dismissing his experience! I watched the entire video! But truth be told, I’m sick and tired of the popular narrative that racist people are white, and victims of racism are black! While that’s true in some cases, I wanted to highlight that Racism is far more complicated an issue and I personally felt it needed to be said that the tables do turn depending on many factors. In-fact, in my mind I was sympathizing with the guy. And I wanted him, and really everyone to understand that this type of thing isn’t isolated to just black people! But we can all experience it, in hopes to create unity! Once we can all empathize with each other, that’s when we can move forward. Nothing brings people together more than shared experiences, doesn’t matter if they’re positive or negative! Racism is a real challenge all over the world and is felt by every group of people that’s exists and has ever existed! That’s my opinion.. you’re welcomed to yours. 🤷♂️
@@briancaparoula9607okay. When you frame it that way then I agree with you. It’s just the way you presented your initial statement came off very dismissive to his experience. Almost like you were using your experience to negate his. Then again, this is the internet and many things can come off in a way other than what was intended.
@@ultron-5600 yeah, if I had said it in person it would have come off with a whole different vibe! Getting an idea across in text can be challenging because there are nuances and inflections in a persons voice that convey sincerity that you can’t get simply by reading a thing! Lol.. that being said, I’m honestly happy we can agree.. I make it a personal mission to discourage truly divisive ideas or narratives.. I hate how the media portrays our reality! This guy had a genuine story, I 100% could relate to it
Bro, ours is not racism, it's the problem we have in our country. Alot, ALOT of drug dealers in italy are black, i don't know why, but they dont' want to get a job and they start dealing drugs. Then there are the ones that live off our credit system, that gives 600 euros to anyone who hasn't a job and is 18+. Those that search jobs are not victim of racism, we are not so ignorant. Next time i wish you will go deeper into this, because you can't say only the point of the iceberg of a long list of things.
@@matteo-ye2bq I understand your point of view but I believe if drugs was to be a problem that leads to racism then many non Afro people are much involved than we could imagine. The benefits system is actually being abused by everyone which is very bad. With that being said I actually explained more in the video and the reason for the video as well.
I can explain why i think about things.. im afraid our culture is going to dissapiar because you are going to mix with our people....im very afraid of this.
@@Warriorblood96 I love the Italian culture and I pray it doesn’t disappear however I noticed soo many changes and it has nothing to do with the mix of people but with many Italians born outside of the country coming back home with different mentality.
@@Dailysiksey it's about globalization, also, my friend. I am Senegalese Nigerian, I am seeing it also in our own countries. The socials, the media, economy... I live and work in Europe and get European worries about a dying culture. They are called "right wing racists" and many are for sure, but sooner or later (I say sooner) we will all face this issue . And who knows if it's gonna be for the best (we eventually fully realize we belong to this little messy planet) or for the worst (we gonna end up all as even more selfish jerks focused only on money and goods to buy) edit: for us maybe it will be less about mixing and more about being fully culturally colonized by money/greed mentality , and/or some kind of ethnic fanatism as a reaction. This moment in history , globally, is tricky and with our own politicians😅 may God help us. Btw I think you gonna do fine in Italy. I lived there til last year and miss it ❤️🙌🏾

Not all italians are racist
Yeah… sure… 😅 not 100% maybe… but most of the population for sure (it is on the education at home aka culture)
Not all Germans were Nazis.

Wow that’s seriously insane. I believe we can do more as humans to put away any form of racism.
Why are you coming after him like this? Not once did he say that whites don’t experience racism. But YOU ARE dismissing his experience.
