Hi I’m from Europe and unfortunately in the past few years I realized how much racism there is in the world which really messes up my mind since that concept didn’t exist for me as a kid and I thought it’s normal that people look different.

Having very pale skin and not having visited too many countries I was wondering if I might encounter any problems in America because of my skin. Can I just talk to anyone or will people reject me because of my skin? (I have blond hair too)

    American here: there’s a LOT of racism in America. And in certain regions, it’s a lot worse. Even in some neighborhoods of “good” places, it’s worse. Be careful if you’re not white. Be especially careful if you’re in any of the southern border states and you look even remotely Hispanic.
