Racism

A few weeks back, we came across an Anti-Racism protest in downtown Madrid
Apparently Racism is a hot topic in Spain now,
especially what happened a few weeks back,
that shocked the immigrants in Spain.

A young Spanish (approx. 26-yr-old) decided to bash up a young innocent Latinamerican girl in the metro of Barcelona. For no fucking reason.

So it created an uproar of protests from many immigrants,
especially since Spain has the world's 2nd largest immigrant population. (an unknown source lol)
Latinamericans, Moroccans, Africans, Chinese..
it is the much talked-about topic now in this country...

As an onlooker, I can say that Spain is a very opened country
with liberty and democracy, Spanish are an open-minded bunch
and receptive to different races and religion.
People look at me as part of them here, they smile say hi,
and talk to u like everyone else..;)
I'd encountered discrimination in London,
but always felt comfortable and safe in Spain..

Racism affects every 1st world country,
Spain is not to be spared, in this superficial world
where people judge you by the colour of your skin.






Arabic!!
(All against Racism)


me looking dumb lol..
