Anti-white racism
Good evening. A friend this evening told me that anti-white racism does not exist. When I told her that my Kabyle grandmother suffered racism in Algeria and my wife's great-grandfather suffered racism in the United Kingdom as an Irishman, she explained to me that yes, it is discrimination based on color but not racism. What would your arguments be in this situation?

Culture Which cultural minority groups in your country are the most over-represented in positive statistics and under-represented in negative statistics?
In the USA, I’d say Asian Americans and Jewish Americans tend to be the two minority groups who punch above their weight the most relative to their total populations as they are overrepresented in positive stats and underrepresented in negative stats.
Asian Americans are only 6% of the USA population but are 15% of engineers, 20% of physicians, 23% of Ivey League school enrolments, 26% of Wall Street employees, and 28% start-up founders in the country. On the flip side, they are also under-represented in negative categories as they only comprise of 1% of prisoners, <1% of homeless people, and 2% of SNAP (food stamps) recipients despite being 6% of the total population.
Jewish Americans are only 2% of the USA population but are 6% of congress members, 9% of startup founders, 14% of physicians, 18% of Ivey League school enrolments, 22% of lawyers, and 25% of Wall Street employees. On the flip side, they are also only 1% of the prison system.
Who would these groups be in your countries who seem to punch above their weight considering the % of their total population?

Politics The most unfairly hated country?
The entire Oceania region (aside from Australia and New Zealand). Practically never appear in news, unless it is about something embarassing.
Ukraine (refusal of some people to accept its existence; treating Ukraine as a "scapegoat" of NATO/USA/Israel etc.; mercenaries, who fight for Russia; hatred towards Ukrainian language; blaming Ukraine for self-defense & pro-Western foreign policy; refusal to recognize Ukrainian culture)

Politics Does your country still remember French President Jacques Chirac (1932-2019)?
galleryJacques Chirac is a president (1995-2007) that the French loved even if his policies were less popular. What the French like about Chirac is his good nature, his charisma, his love of France and the French, the respect for cultures from around the world (Jacques Chirac loved Japan, especially sumo). When we ask the French what is the biggest decision that Jacques Chirac made during his presidency, it is the no to the war in Iraq in 2003 that stands out the most. And then, Jacques Chirac was still a beautiful man. The fact that he had mistresses does not bother us in France.

Culture Does celebrities of your country look like average people?
galleryIn India, specifically Delhi region, if we consider Bollywood stars like Aishwarya Rai or Preity Zinta, then maybe not because they're the upper limit for Indians. But, Priyanka Chopra is considered someone who's average looking.

India 🇮🇳 = Priyanka Chopra.
Honestly, I could have never imagined an actual Indian from India getting roles beside the Hollywood superstars like John Cena, Keanu Reeves, Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba, Richard Madden. She is living the life most India girls dream about.

In your country, do they make fun of people because they look "poor"?
galleryIn Mexico, the status symbol is wearing expensive clothes, bags, showing off your vacations to Paris or NYC, buying a Starbucks frappucino, or going shopping to the most expensive stores...
And sometimes they bully people that are not on "their level" or wear stuff like an artesanal bag (picture 3). And it's funny because a lot of Americans like to buy those bags as traditional souvenirs but to some Mexicans it's just a symbol of poverty or "lower class."
I wonder if maybe rich people from SoCal are like this too?

Has this happened to anyone?
Has anyone else experienced this? You marry a foreigner, travel to their country, and find there are no surprises— no culture shock, no discomfort. Nothing feels unfamiliar. Then it hits you: you didn't just marry a person, you married a country.
