I Feel like I'm receiving racism in Cyprus.

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

No racism, everyone is so warm and loving! It's mostly in the city I feel the racism and its from a moisture of ages young and old! :(


OK - so you're fine in your home environment (Kakopetria) where you know the cultural habits established over a long length of time. If racism was an issue, surely it would manifest in such a more parochial environment, no? But you feel awkward in the city? Most cities in Cyprus are full of foreigners so I find it hard to understand it's racism you feel when you go into the city. Cities can be overwhelming for all sorts of reasons. Are you sure you're not just projecting your insecurities on the only explanation you could readily come up with?

This is not about the OP's insecurities, it's about the Cypriots being racist. Remember the poor black chap who had his leg broken for just being black?

I find you one of the most racist and sexist posters on this forum. Every time you turn up, the threads deteriorate.

Leave the topic to mature without your disgusting inputs.

The OP has not been attacked and one alleged attack does not make a nation racist - what makes a nation racist is to illegally occupy half of another country and kick out the rest of the natives that they didn't manage to kill!

The problem with racism, here on this forum and in Cyprus (as well as elsewhere) is that so few will confront it when it is openly displayed. All too often it is either ignore or 'written off' by too many people and thus it persists.

Just look at this thread for example (already mentioned here)

cyprus41449.html?hilit=black

I could find many others - not just with blatantly racist comments in them, but with either silence from others or 'excuses' made for the person expressing blatantly racist views.

And proving my point on racists and sexists who emerge whenever there's a potential anti-Cyprus thread .......

Thank you, erolz, I take it these little forum blips stand to excuse the whole of Turkey and all the TCs who occupy half of Cyprus and racially segregate apart the Greek Cypriots they haven't killed?

How are you telling me that I'm insecure? It's things I experience and see... I know what experiencing rasicm is.
