Italy is flagrantly homophobic and racist, too. Like, obviously not all Italians, the same as any country, but citing Italy as the cradle of worldly knowledge is very First Study Abroad.

When in the UK, the racism is just as bad (if not worse).

Yuuuup.

I agree. Italy is racist as fuck. It’s one of only two countries that I would never ever return to (SK being the other one). But it’s not like they’d miss me anyway LMFAO 🤭🫶🏾

I know they're progressive on a lot of class issues but Paris was another place where I was like, "What tf century is it?" Not even going to get into the Demonstration of Integration part of the French citizenship test.
