I'm from Romania and as a romanian I can tell you that romanian people have nothing against foreigners or black people. But, that being said, you will probably get a lot of stares because it is very unusual to see a black person in Romania, even in big cities like Bucharest. Tourists were not interested in visiting Romania before :)) I'm sure people are really curious about you and that's why they are staring, but they don't mean any harm. (I used to stare at foreigners too when I was younger because I was so curious about them and then I heard them say it bothers them - on the internet - so now I intentionally try NOT to stare when I see them on the street, but I guess not a lot of people realize that they make you feel uncomfortable when they stare at you).Most young people speak good English , maybe you should try speaking to some of them like you did in Moldova :)
Romania ,Ukraine ,Hungary,Moldova ,Russia are all the same when it comes to people of a different race.
@Vegredalert
Imi place stilul tau... Ar trebui sa fim prieteni!
@Vegredalert
...LOL... Nu e nici o organizatie ultrasecreta... Personal sunt apolitic si nu votez. As zice ca sunt ceva de gen "traditional conservativ" amestecat cu "libertarian" (nu liberal)... Nici un partid nu ma reprezinta... Detest socialismul de orice forma.
It's only natural to be curious about something you're not familiar with. You appreciate and wanna learn as much as you can.
@Vegredalert Daca tot te dai "jmecher", pune macar o poza cu tine.
Who else is addicted to these videos? Jermaine you are unique. A young black vegan man with the ability to world travel and back pack to countries which may not have ever seen your brand of unicorn before. It means you are special. Enjoy and stay safe.
I’ve been travelling to Romania since I was young. It’s a brilliant country and it’s so lovely to do activities and all of that. It’s a shame not many people have good views of it and it really annoys me because I guarantee they’ve never been nor met Romanians
Great video and reviews are accurate to how I see it (besides the McDonalds. I love it over there)
I'm actually glad we have the bad image since I don't want foreigners here. Keep portraying us as a shithole, dear westerners.
Romania is chill AF. Sorry you had kind of a weird experience there. Romanians can come across as a very closed and serious people, but all you need is to get to know them a bit better. Once you find your bearings and you hook up with a clique, they can be some of the most wonderful people to hang with. The countryside is even chiller. Try getting out of Bucharest for a bit and explore some of the countryside. Romania is an awesome place to visit. And I am American (but I have a ton of Romanian friends).
i doubt you are black. White people think we have the same experiences lol not even close
Maybe they were staring at you because you were vlogging. They might have wondered if you are a celebrity or a crazy guy. Vlogging is not a common thing in Romania. And also there's a popular saying that people who talk alone are usually crazy.
I totally agree with you, because in general we are not staring at the people even are different skin or different eyes or different language , we make more attention to pickpockets 🧐 !
best anser here ! i'm romanian and i think like so.... "wtf is this guy filming here ? i hope i dont see myself on som kind of tv jurnal !"
romanian ppl don't like to be filmed... and they dont see the point of talking to the camera ... vloging is not a thing here that's just us... sorry for the inconvenience :))
This remind me of handfree phone, the same thing :)) people were thinking you are crazy :))))
Trust me, they are thinking he's from where bob marley is from
Those would be long nappy dreads.

Cineva din România?
Anyone from Romania?

Da frt
I'm white and I get those stares too in Romania, I'm obviously a foreigner but get the same stares. 99% of
Romanians are really hospitable people though.
I used to get the stares too when I first moved there but now with time the tourist aura wears off and I don't now....most think I am Romanian.. Get Romanians asking me in Romanian for directions etc and pretty cool to be able to reply with confidence now and point a Romanian in the right direction!
@@Bobskiboy85 what made you move to Romania mate? Missus?
@@thegreatbriton1203 work initially.. fell in love with the place.. the history.. sense of an identity still.. honest hard working people in the country despite hardships.. and missus eventually lol.. they are beautiful.. Just felt like this is for me.
@ missus is just slang for girlfriend or a girl or wife lol ..missus = Mrs
I get the states also
I am Romanian and live abroad, every time I go back home I see people starring at me too lol...
nice people, When I visited Romania, I landed in Bucharest and got on an early train to Brasov. I plan to visit again often.
You're over-interpreting it. I am myself Romanian with a rather exotic look and I get ''starred'' at constantly. People are simply curious.
@Chris Ayala almost no black people. Bigger cities people will just maybe stare, but with no ill intent. in villages, where people have never seen a black person, you might cause a traffic accident
@Chris Ayala Again, out of curiosity. There is a sort of ingrained racism, but not in the US sense. Romanians just dont know much about black people. During communist times a few African nations could send kids to college in Romania. So a big part of the few black people in Romania are those that stayed and started families here. Bottom line is, with the exception of a few bigger, college towns, no black people anywhere.
Chris Ayala you would clean out! Patente might have issues. But not out of racism per say but more out of not knowing and a sort of xenophobia. Or they might be racist. You never know. But you will clean out with chicks over here. Trust me!
@Chris Ayala Well, depends on the age area you are looking for. Bucharest has a good party scene with a lot of like hipster clubs, bars and restaurants. I would recommend coming during the summer so you can go for a couple of day at the seaside. It's around 3 hours drive or train from bucharest. Mamaia there is the posh scene with the expensive clubs and such and i would also recommend vama veche for the seaside hippie scene. Other cities you should visit are Brasov, Sibiu and Cluj-Napoca. Would be a good idea to get a dating app like Tinder and see who you can match with before getting here.
@Chris Ayala Almost everyone speaks english at a certain level. You will be fine
To tell you honestly, how many people have seen someone as cool as Ice MC walking in Bukorest, that's the kind of look they're giving
Jermaine, as regards the stares ... I think you are very courageous, you go out and take life by the balls. When you are old and elderly in the nursing home you are going to be the most happiest old person ever because you just went out and lived your best life 😀👍🏼
Hopefully not in a 👀nursing home so stay fit and strong.💪lol
I know your from Memphis and I know for a fact you have had some good old fashion soul food at some point in your life. How in the world could you give that up!!!!!!! I respect your lifestyle change. And your will is waaaaaaay stronger than mine. Great vids man. Really inspiring for those who haven’t traveled. Gives me motivation to go see more of the world.
Don since when is Ethiopian and Indian food not among the most soulful food on the planet? It's also very often vegan.
They stare because they've never seen someone as cool as Jermaine Ellis traveling the world ✈️🌏
no they stare because people of other race are super rare here. africans, asians, etc
@Vegredalert calm down we aren't all like that it's just a few of you dickheads
@Vegredalert I think you are the racist here . Just sayin' :)))
@@7yep4336dfgvvh the thing is Romanian people are curious because it's very Rare to see diferent People from other countries with colored skin around the city. And it's not about Racism.
I too was in Bucharest this summer and I too have color on my skin, in fact, my skin color is almost as dark as yours. I caught a few people out of the corner of my eye staring at me but it didn't bother me much so I'm sorry that it made you feel uncomfortable. I hope you realize that it isn't prejudiced, they just don't get too many non-white tourists in this part of the world but I'm sure you know that. Safe travels :-).
I actually look at foreigners when they come to visit us, just because of curiosity or thinking " wow, that's so cool, people want to visit us" or " why would someone want to visit Romania? It's not that a great country". I don't stare, but I can't help to look. I feel bad that he was uncomfortable. :(
@@larateal26 "It's not that great a country"? I beg to differ, I really like your country. There have only been a few countries I've been sad to leave and one of them was Romania. 😊
@@onthedubba Really? Wow, I'm really glad you liked it here. 🤗 I heard that a lot of people in Europe think Romania is a bad country, calling us ugly gypsies, assuming that we are going to other countries to steal money..and stuff like that..and also being a poor country ... I assumed it's not that great in people's eyes. But I'm really glad to hear you like it here. 🤗
Thanks for your vlogs, man! You, mostly, have a pure, natural way of storytelling. Take care!
I’m here in Romania now and they do stare a lot . We had a rude encounter but other than that I think Romania is a pretty nice country
I'm so sorry for your experience. We Romanians are mostly good people, but among us there are also stupid people. They are rude and mean even to their people so ... I hope you understand me. We have a word. Forest without droughts, does not exist
Good you like Romania.When do you leave tho?
@N.N. Heh, that's why we don't go to America. We apologise bcs either we really feel sorry for that person either we don't want them to have a bad opinion about us or we apologise bcs even we feel ashamed.
Or all of them.
@N.N. We are very friendly towards people in general and we take great pride in that. This is why we apologize. Besides, our country is quite safe, from what I've seen, I would not life in America even if I was payed to do it. You don't get shot in the streets here, or robbed, or being assaulted.
We are also very violent, if someone tries to rob someone, would get a very good beating. In Romania, we call it "a beating sister with death". A few hundred years ago people got impaled for stealing.
Thanks Jermaine. Learnt many things about travel from your videos. Wish you all the success ! This is from your Sri Lankan friend Suchithra
You're just exotic, Jermaine, that's all there is. 99.99% of the Romanians have never seen a black individual walking around, let alone a handsome dude with a very dope Jamaican hairstyle. I can guarantee they're not thinking "he's here to steal my job!" because there are no jobs, you're just novelty. Interact with some of them if you get the chance, they are very friendly once they're past the initial moment of awe.
I am Romanian. I unconsciously stare at people when I realize they're foreigners. It's not that I don't want them here. I just wonder what's their story and how they ended up in this country.
With pink-skinned people (Star Trek joke), I usually realize they are foreigners only when they speak, but with anyone else it comes earlier.
Im in love with a Romanian lady she gets my head spinning very respectful full of decorum my only weakness Im slow to learn Romanian language,I want to impress my in-laws before I actually run away with their daughter to Africa,will indeed be visiting on holidays with my new beautiful angel ,I'm sure my in-laws in ZIMBABWE will respect muroora,kudo to Romanians sando dzenyu
@Nikey Likes mafia in romania...🤣🤣🤣🤣? the fuck are you saying ...there is no such thing in romania
Yay! So happy you had a great first impression of Romania 😃 I really miss it there, currently living in America. Also don’t mind Romanians in the city they are very stern. If you go into the country side you will see a lot of smiling people, but I’m sorry you felt that way 😩When I first visited Romania ALOT of people used to stare at me and not like a little but ALOT. I found it very annoying but that’s how almost everyone is but then I got used to it. Also a lot of them don’t know what Vlogging is! They are always wondering why you are holding a camera and talking to it, I vlog in America and I get a lot of stares.
he didnt
Go to the big brothel building and let us know how it is..!! 👍
Some things are better left off private.
Love you from Romania, if you are in Romania take a chance to visit the mountinious side where the castles are and the supposedly the Dracula castle is situated ( Bran Castle)
Romania does seem more developed and nicer than Moldova and Ukraine.
Probably 50 years ahead 😁, Ukraine and Moldova are nice ❤️aswell
Kiev is good as well
i think the romanians were just staring saying "wtf, that dude has a tarantula on his head!"
LoL =)
😂
Or a mop
@Chris Ayala How the fuck is a haircut racist?
@Chris Ayala fr WTF soz I acc deleted this because I thought I said it to the wrong person
Maybe they just don't know how to behave so that you don't feel like you just felt. They try to show they are friendly by not turning their heads in the opposite direction. They want to show that they don't avoid you. You look like a Hollywood actor for us. In all this situations you can blame the emotions. Staring is not good, ignoring is not good, for some maybe is hard to find a balanced behavior.
Travelling down to Romania soon so this vlog is just what I need. Been struggling with the looks as well and I'm not even that far into the trip yet. Oh boy! This video helps though so big ups to you!
Travelling Black Marie only sociopaths stare..very..long time..with dont care..bothering
Don t care about thoose stares man. People are amazed here in Romania because it s difficult to live in this country, and it s kind of strange to see other people in our country.We are amazed to see that people living in a richer country than us are attracted of Romania:))
Travel and leave
Duna Stefan why are you being so rude you troll
@@dimabaranova1213 Just because you're free to roam around in Western countries because they colonized what's yours,it doesn't mean the East is for everyone,here white lives matter and our people's lives matter
Hellooo, welcome to Bucharest I'm so sorry for your first impression, but people may be jerks sometimes, I think it's because of the video camera. And of course you can go to Sara Green, it's a super vegan bistro, it's near Victoria squere "piața Victoriei", and you should try then awesome burger, or humus. Hope you enjoy your trip.
But but but Beatrice surely Romania and Hungary are largely very anti foreigners especially of a different race.That's not to say there aren't some open minded and welcoming folks and it could also be just curiosity since there are no people of color in eastern Europe.
Beatrice Caramizaru hi Beatrice he said he didn't have the camera at the hostel. So why.
Pietro Jenkins Romanians are not anti-foreigners.
Petrisor So hypocrite to say such a thing when literally a fifth of all Romanians in the world are migrants and they live and work outside Romania..🙄🙄
Petrisor How does that change my point?
That's right Jermaine, "I'm in the right place and I'm also vegan."
Let’s get this video starteeeeeeeeed 😍😀😍
Curva...
As a Romanian, i can tell you. When we see a black man or other race were quite happy and stares is because we don't have other races here.
Always love hearing your perspective on places.
Wrong and personal ones though..
Jermaine you should've politely asked someone, "why do Bucharest people stare at me?" They may say that you look different from other melinated people.
yep
Makes it sound like they have no access of outside world info..

They don't stare because they hate him, they're just not used to seeing black people as not even 1% of the romanian population is black. I'm white and when I travelled to Ghana I was getting all kinds of looks all day long, it's natural human behaviour
john u r a fucking racist and i spit on your brein
You are f..ing racist calling inocent people racists!!!!
You just look like a spicy Dorito in a sea of Wonderbread, that's all. Hope you enjoyed your visit around Eastern Europe. It's a bit of a time travelling experience. Most of those countries are stuck in the 80s...but now they have wifi and scooters.
let me tell you something fucking idiot, Roosevelt and Churchill offer East Europe to Stalin because they didn't want to fight with USSR. Better to go an fuck yourself , stupid idiot
im born and raised in bucharest,that stare is people eyes is not evil my friend,they are just very busy,and have manny difficulties ,visiting bucharest is different than living in bucharest,you are more than welecome !
Im romanian and i'd suggest to NOT eat FISH at restaurants because is probably old or DONT eat from fastfood or chiken + beef + pork cause it s probably injected w/ chemicals

I want to visit Romania one day I have a lot of romanian friends in school and they talk about Romania and stories they had there and all I gotta say romanians are laid back chill people much love from US I’m Mexican American I think I’m going to be pretty rare when I visit
Much love from Atlanta Georgia, US
I really enjoy when a foreign from another country comes here, in special Americans. From Romania ❤!
This country can have a different atmosphere depending on the area. I live in the west. People in Transilvania are generally more chill than the people down south. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule but my colleagues from offices in other countries said they felt very welcome and comfortable when they visited Cluj and they are people from various nationalities, ethnicities, and races. One particular colleague who is Vietnamese American keeps saying he's very tempted to move from the London office to the Cluj one. Bucharest is a great place in many ways but maybe a little rougher around the edges and there are few things to be wary of compared to the rest of the country. Some travelers have experienced nothing but great things in Bucharest but I'm, not that familiar with the city to understand its ins and outs.
If you're not discouraged from visiting again, maybe try Brasov, Cluj, Sibiu next time. I'm sure you would be getting stares here too, though most of them harmless/benevolent. I think people tend to stare simply because you're a foreigner and Romanians are not used to foreigners showing an interest. Even I personally can't help looking up briefly when I hear someone speaking another language or doesn't look local even though I've interacted with folks from many backgrounds, I'm like another visitor in our little city, cool, I wonder what brings them here. Romania has only recently become a bit more popular as a travel destination. Before most visitors were either for business or missionary work so maybe it's still a matter of processing the unexpected influx of tourists. Though not sure about the WTF stares. They might be related to seeing you talk to the camera for vlogging. Not as prevalent here.
There are a lot of people, especially on the younger side, who welcome multiculturalism, and I hope the general mentality will improve and people moving or traveling here will feel more comfortable in the future.
I noticed a few right-wing trolls in the comments section. They're very vocal but I don't think they're representative of this country. Sadly enough, I think most Eastern Europeans have them.
I'm a black man and I get it I used to live in South Korea for a year but most people there speak English especially in the cities so the stares weren't as bad since I could communicate a little with the locals. The Soviet era architecture is prevalent still in Romania I see and mixed with Western businesses which I found interesting in this video.
I am sorry to hear that. :(
Why does that dog stare at you like he's staring into your soul? As with so many things dogs do!
Dog was like, What the fuck is that?
Why is there a black in dude my hood?
I respect you,man.....this guy is an idiot and think he brings bad image to black people.... he's so wrong to accuse Romanian People being racists
We might seem jerks or unfriendly but that's actually our way to be. We are straight forward, direct and genuine, we speak our minds. I don't think that guy had bad intentions. But in my opinion it's better like that instead having a very friendly person but fake not knowing their true intention. Nice content mate I wish you all the best.
Where exctly did u found this vegan restaurant? At least the name of the restaurant.plsss
Great video Bro..I can quite understand the hostile stares you are talking about
What makes a stare being "hostile"?
Europeans love to stare.. I think it's more of your style, I got stared at heavinly in europe too yet I'm white
. I dont understand what the hell their problem is
Yeah Germans stare right into you and hold it. It's just how they take things in.
Yep agree.. My brother is romanian living in Danemark (for some years already).. He still gets some stares and its most probably because he doesnt look like a typical danish guy. He isnt blonde.. his eyes are brown. (So I think for them he looks like being from other country. His wife is estonian but her hair is blonde with blue eyes and she blends way more than him in Denmark.. He s the one who gets more stares than his estonian wife haha)
Erisen Arent there alot of immigrants in Denmark though? Surely they'd be used to seeing non nordic looking folks
cris cris Why though? Are they just nosey?
Maybe the problem is You!
Holy shit. I was there on thoose streaks during a vacation
I love your style and video

Were you wearing a Turkish flag or Turkish anything T-Shirt?
That is interesting, I loved Romania.
Did not your traveling homie tell you that he rarely see Black folks in Romania? You were warned bruddah! Stay safe out'chea.
I like this new way you're vlogging talking and the showing clips and people staring at you in Romania is because they never seen a black man before haha come to Manchester UK jermaine

The accents of the upper-middle and upper classes in Southern African "anglophone" countries (both black and white) sound more "British" than an American one does.

Because many people in Africa don’t “hear” the accent, they just hear the English language a foreigner is speaking. I grew up there and left when I was a teen and it was after I came to the West that I realised “accents” are a thing here. Peace ✌🏿
Yo, yo, yo Jermaine I hope you know that Jesus has been protecting you and truly wants to be your Heavenly Father. You probably feel his Pull/Love/Peace and Acceptance, example especially when you are drawn to 'His Church' All Around The World.🌐 Here's An Invitation to All:
Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Please listen to your instinct to help you to navigate safely & talk with Jesus. He always knows What's Up! You are one Special dude; and if I offend you in any way I was 'taught well' to apologize "I'm sorry".
BTW this world is going down a slippery slope, folks keep questioning the possible economic crash, 3 days darkness, & weather disasters with the endtimes signs. Peace💙

"I'm Romanian and I feel bad for myself because of people ."
There's absolutely no reason for you to feel bad... Our culture is fine... The bad feelings come to you because you have been brainwashed.
Listen to your spidey sense, we have them for a reason. Stay safe....
Don't feel bad i think people stare because you dont look like them. Your from San Francisco not from there. I'm sure they get a lot of tourist and stare at them too. U need a travel companion , someone to travel with sweety. Enjoy your time in Romania.💝💝💝😊🌈
Always looking for a travel friend.
Me Jermaine...we are twin travel souls...😂
Fuck off with that gay flag 😂
Gg man 🤣🤗 apropo : vreun Roman?
EDIT: scratch that you're just insecure :))) 5:13 Romanians are not friendly like you're used to. Meaning that the customer service you're a costumed with in the US is hard to find here. I'm saying this because I traveled to US and all the smiles seemed so fake to me. I guess it's just just a cultural difference. If someone is smiling here is genuine. If you make real friends here they are real. But don't expect friendship and smiles without a true sincere human connection.
Romanians usually are staring at foreigners cuz they are curious where you are from and why would u be in Romania, if u stop and talk to them they will tell you this and the first thing they will do is ask you about your life's story and why are you in Romania
Bro, I’m here in Bucharest too, been here for the past 2 yrs… how long are you here for?
What you do for work? Thinking of moving there.
I have seen black people or asian people where I live (south part of Romania) but I didnt stare at them cuz I know its kinda rude to stare (at a stranger.. whatever the type they are). I dont like to be stared at either (even if I am romanian). But even if I faII in a moment of so called staring.. its rather that I m friendIy.. I might be curious about you and want to change a few words with you (friendly ones since they are from other cuIture.. so for me its rather that I might have an interesting conversation with them). As long as people are nice and respectful I wont judge them in whatever other ways.
Thing is.. many people stare haha. And not just in Eastern Europe. My brother is in Danemark and he still gets some stares even when he enters into a restaurant. Mostly because he doesnt look like a typical Danish guy (he isnt with blonde hair.. his eyes are brown and whatever difference they see in him). Its kinda annoying but what can you do ? Beat them up to not stare anymore ? =)) You just hope they stare for a bit and mind their own business after.
My theory about the stares: They probably think you have a lot of guts coming there. I presume there are also skinheads/neonazis who really don't like black people. I'm also pretty sure that Romania just doesn't get visited by black people in general so it's a double whammy for them, maybe even triple because you got dreads. So I think it aren't hate stares but more the kind of stares a european soccer hooligan would get if he would come dressed in full outfit in the city of the opposing team (that doesn't get you killed most often, but one just does not expect it).
I know exactly what he's talking about!!! People in Romania will literally cross the street to avoid me!! And yes the stares!!!! Are absolutely ridiculous!!
look at it like this; one day you're going to meet with your friends that you always hang out with and notice someone new with your friends that you've never seen before..of course you're gonna stare at this person, not to be rude, or anything like that, but just because it's not what you're used to see. Act cool be aware that people are staring but don't let it affect you, because seriously most people don't mean anything negative by a stare and they just don't realize that the person may feel uncomfortable
such good food and nice people. I hope you got to eat some veal cutlet, they are great at it.
There are thiusands of black ppl living in Bucharest, working, studying etc, i deffinitely think it was a random day.
Unde ai vazut mii de oameni negrii in bucurești? Am mai văzut și eu dar rar, foarte rar.
Im mixed race and born in romania, i left when i was 8 cuz the racism was too much. I never wana go back again😂
Loool, this is not true, ask Benjamin Adegbuyi. It's easier to ge bullied in Britain than in Romania!
Vegredalert, you fucking troll, I reported you
Its great to randomly find a video and finding put that youre vegan! Greqt inspiration
I'm romanian, i get the same stares because i have medium hair lol.
My mom saw kiwis and bananas for the first time in her life at the age of 31, after the fall of communism. What the hell do you expect from us? We were isolated from the rest of the world for more then 50 years. Seeing black people around, for us, it feels pretty exotic. Dont take it the wrong way.
Iam from romania and it is beutiful in Brasov
Hey bro, I'm romanian and I'll try to explain the stares. Romanians have a very bad opinion about their country. When they see a black guy, they think to themselves "What the fuck is he doing here?" but not particularly in a bad way towards you like you're not welcome, it's more like "what the fuck is he doing here in our shitty country". Also a lot of romanians are racist towards gypsies but a romanian can tell the difference between a black/brown guy and a gypsy, and most don't have a problem with other races, gypsyes being the exception. Being a black guy plus the dreads basically makes you more rare than a charizard in eastern europe lol. Also people casually vlogging in public is pretty unusual in Romania so far, so people stare at that no matter how you look.
Bucharest may feel a bit rough when it come to socials - remember it's still more Eastern, though people mainly look at you because they're just curious, but you shouldn't be in trouble trust me, even in Bucharest.
But yeah, Romanians can stare with no reluctance. At the same time, they're very frank with you and they'll tell you what they think.
And also at the same time if you asked for help, they'll just jump out for you and you will be helped all the way.
They're also so friendly that you can make lasting friendships. It just takes a bit of work - remember Romania escaped 50 years of extreme authoritarian communism not long ago.
You should see Timisoara (I can take you out for a drink or two, haha), also Sibiu is marvelous, Cluj is nice and perhaps Brasov if you like huge pedestrian streets and big hills. Spring is ideal in Romania.
Unfortunately you are not too lucky with the food here but there are places for you as well certainly. Cheers!
PS: They also stared at me in Bucharest by the way, and yes I do look more Turkish but barely different from most Romanians. I was just dressed more careless in regards to the "balkan" trends that a man should wear, you know. It's all about curiosity.
Even if i am romanian, People are looking wird also at me sometimes because...jut because maybe someone is not in a good mood in that prices moment , please don’t take it personally !
its wery chill ,sometimes we stare at black people because we dont se very often in this part.we are not racist or stuf like that..youre whelcome anytime anyhow.
Bro, you got stared at simply because to them, you look cool, you have cool hair, and, yes, you are black! Nothing to do with racism, man! It is still a novelty to see black people in Romania! They have never talked to a black person, it is something exciting and new! They check out your skin texture, hair, clothes! There is still an aura of "wow" when they see a black person! Imagine a white dude going to an African country.... Not talking about South Africa, but somewhere where whites are pretty rare! I am sorry you felt awkward and uncomfortable, but I hope, my explanation helped you understand! Good man!
From what I see from your video I think that you are taller than the average romanian plus you are a foreigner (not in a bad way), this is probably why people stared at you like that, for us you are just a really tall person and a foreigner in the same time =)))
bro you should travel to ghana or nigeria at some point
I thought so too. Especially Ghana
He doesn't like Africa though.
@@pietrojenkins6901 He actually likes Africa. Check the list of his favourite countries.
Have you been to India? Go there and you will get more stares than in Romania.
I really want to go to India soon
Let me tell you something jermaine, I’m not black (actually about as white as you can get) but Romania is one of the poorest countries in the Eu. A lot of Romanians have moved to other countries like the UK or Germany for work, so not a lot of people go there. I went and I remember going through immigration at the airport and the guy I got was like “why the f are you here?” Not “okay where are you going to be working illegally?” But “do you know where you are? What possibly could be of interest here?” They’re not really used to a lot of foreigners, epically ones who aren’t from the EU
Bitch, EU doesn't contain Europe! You must be already developed to be included in EU. Romania already passed Croatia for instance, it's very similar to Hungary now. Still miles ahead from most of the neighbours, especially those outside the EU like Serbia and Ukraine.
You should go to Vegan Mob at Lake Merritt in Oakland.
What is the vegan restaurant that you are talking about? I live in Bucharest and I'm just curious. I'm also vegan, as a black person living here for almost 7 years. I can also say people stare a lot. But not so much now, there are many more foreigners now. But it's SO uncomfortable, I mean people just literally stop walking and stare. Maybe I'm just used to it now, I'm not sure.
They’re curious about you don’t worry. They’re also surprised to see foreigners because they don’t have so many.
Usually, these idiots only bark online and when I doxed one guy who started being funny he blocked me but I know now who he is and where he lives. You will find idiots everywhere and you must ignore them. Many Romanians (men and women) are in interracial relationships so just ignore mean comments.
Is you Jamaican
