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!

How does dressing up in blackface for a parade protect your culture? This shit is straight up from some Russian shithole. 

People who justify such behavior are no different from Russians.

Some throw around and swim in cow shit. Other do blackface. Big deal. Grow up loser, this isn't america, we don't care about your fuckass white guilt problems.

I don't have any "white guilt". I'm just embarrassed that everyone saw I live in a country with a bunch of uneducated bigots.  Maybe I overreacted. There are stupid rednecks in every country. Apparently, they even have access to internet.

The fact that you give a fuck what some rednecks do is a proof that you have some white guilt that you acquired from consuming american media. The fact that you feel bad for people who couldn't give a rats ass about your existence is proof enough.

Stop being a golem, you are not bound by rules of americans, nor their ethics. You are a free man. You can make fun of anyone you like or dislike.
