RE: Western Europe is xenophobic towards Slavs and other eastern europeans

([deleted])

Lol I win the bloody jackpot I’m half Eastern European (mum is Russian polish and my dad is .... indigenous African tuareg) I can write several novels about the racism Slavs face and what I’ve witnessed myself... and how they treat black here Oh the beauty of being the exotic foreigner despised by all

You haven't seen the trend? In western society it's ok totreat people like complete shit, AS LONG AS and only if they're white. Otherwise you're racist. If you're white and someone wants to attack you and get away with it all they have to do is take a video of you getting attacked and say "racist gets what he deserves" the internet will always support it with no backstory and with no proof

Yes and no.

In Australia we say, "We aren't racist, we hate everyone equally"

But what I find most interesting is that we've come to a point where the media and entertainment in general has no apprehension about stereotyping or racially profiling Slavs or Eastern Europeans in general. Even on progressive media or any film you always see some kind of Russian mobster, Serbian hitman, Romanian prostitute etc, and there is no backlash to these kind of images. We are rarely shown in a positive light, while portraying a crack addicted African-American, or Columbian drug dealer, or Arab rapist is considered xenophobic, racist or stereotypical. '

My theory has been for a while, that Eastern Europeans are considered "white" in English-speaking Western countries by the greater population.

In which case we are grouped in with the past crimes of the "white" (British, German, French, American) colonisers, occupiers and oppressionists of the 20/21st centuries, when in reality we are far from that idea of "white".

This puts us in a very interesting and quite fucked up postion.

Where we are both the oppressionist of minorites and also their drug dealers.
