Please, don´t judge our country based on this kind of aggressive opinions ( like the one before me ).

I can´t speak for everyone here in Spain, but I can make a difference talking about me : I love meeting people from other countries, learning about other cultures and eating all kinds of exotic food from other places… and guess what? I´m 100% spanish and I´m not racist

What I´m trying to say is that in this country you´ll find every kind of people that exists in the world, like in any other countries… please, don´t get us wrong if we talk in a way that offends you, we´re not trying to be unpolite or rude.

Come here with an open mind, and we´ll do EVERYTHING for you to feel at home! ( and that´s the way most of the young spanish people feel )

Cheers !

I’ve linked those directions because I think that are the only real data we can check out. The rest are just opinions and individual experiences that never represent the actual behaviour of spaniards about immigrants or foreigners.
Some of the links are in spanish, but I hope you can read them anyway.

Peace

If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. So many clear, empirical examples of laughable ignorance and plain asinine racism and people still come in here asking mundane questions. Why empower anything that irks you so much? Do you not understand basic economics?

I visited Spain as a kid, and in my sub-10yr brain, knew better than to ever set my foot in that country again. As for the black people (e.g. Courtney & Co) who actually PAY to visit such a barbaric place, you deserve every lump of denigration you get. You actually consider yourself “educated” yet imply that one kind of discrimination (Classicism) is acceptable while another (racism) isn’t. And then you corroborate your own ineptitude by indirectly sanctioning racism against your own kind, as long as they are not “affluent.” I would be laughing if your pathology wasn’t so deeply proliferated. I find it uncanny that an African American will more readily visit some putrid European dump than actually learn their own history.

Get some dignity, you degenerate self-loathers.

Racism is a familiar topic even living in the US. It is just not as publicly displayed and accepted. In San Francisco, there are districts primarily white, chinese, black, and mexican. I don’t consider myself racist, but I understand people feeling more comfortable around with what they are familiar with. I don’t mind the idea of someone doin something that seems racist when they don’t have an ill intentions for it(ignorant), but the number of instances I’ve read on the site that don’t fall into this category is a bit unsettling.

Anyway, I’ve already booked a trip to madrid and barcelona and leaving soon. I’m Korean American and despite what i’ve read here, am still looking to have a good time in Spain. I’m wondering if it would have been better for me to have remained ignorant of Spain’s racism/ignorance/innocence or whatever you want to call it. That said, do you have any advice to which districts are more open to foreigners and/or how I can help to adorn myself to the spanish people with my very basic high school spanish?
