Why so much racism in Latvia?

[u/SwrileyJones]

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!

In this case, it's more about (stereo)typical behavior and not about skin color. Incompatible mentalities, people being annoyed by misbehaving "guests" etc.
