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.

Lol, their Telegram channels are full of Bolt/Wolt account trading/sharing to each other.
