And this does not stop when you become a citizen of that country because your look remains the same.
I'm not saying that its right, i am just pointing out that of all the countries i have been too, western ones are by far the least racist.
Many of these countries use the race ticket to get more, and there very good at it.
Now before you start to burn me, i judge a man by his intregrity, his word and morals not by any colour or culture and i have many friends of all nationalities. I just want to point out that racisim is always going to be there (it may be below the surface but its there) and pretending that it isn't is just un-realistic.
OK burn away if you want
