I'm just trying to say there are racists everywhere. Do people think there is some black unity in Africa? Do people think everyone region is respected and accepted in Nigeria by Nigerian people? Let's talk about Poland. If you are from Białystok/Katowice other Poles look at you in different way. Let's talk about Warsaw. If you are from certain parts of Praga people automatically assume you are low educated, drug addict, violent etc. Problem is not racism, it is discrimination. It will always happen as it is a defense mechanism
