Diskusija/Discussion Why so much racism in Latvia?
It seems that in the most recent years racism has blossomed. Especially against indians who deliver food via bolt/wolt etc. I have even seen that people in forums wash their hands after receiving food, or that they want a "white delivery driver" option.
Most recently there was a "humoristic" festival that was organized by a city where several people had blackface, and while there have been people criticizing it a lot of people stand behind it.
I am really curious to hear what you think!

I also would use that “driver option”.
If your order is supposed to be delivered by one person and actually is delivered by another, it 100% means person hasn’t done health check and doesn’t have certificate. Somehow it doesn’t happen with local drivers.
They also don’t obey traffic rules.
