Frenchy here. Been following and watching these racist X person yells at Y person stories happening in your country for a while...
It's fucking unbelievable to me how ignorant and braindead most people are to this problem. The shit people go through to NOT see or be aware of all these issues today honestly makes me want to punch them in the face.
What I'm saying is even here in France, sure we have racism as well but def not as bad as these examples or at least not that common. But despite not being particularly invested in politics I still "feel" it, very strongly. And yet all around me when I talk to people about it, it's always like they live in this nice bubble where they don't really "feel like it's worse than before".
"But Antoine, you can't expect people who don't live in the same environment to be aware of all that blahblahblah"... SURE I fucking can, it's 2018 we have all the means to have a good grasp on all this shit, and not turn a blind eye on it, no matter where you live. It infuriates me, the lenghts people go to to just not have to go to sleep at night telling themselves that "no the human race is totally not filth garbage, we just tend to overreact is all".
Sorry that probably makes no sense what I just meant. Just a rant I guess, thought I clearly don't pretend to have it as bad or know exactly what it's like for people who suffer racism like that, I'm just so exhausted and sick of human beings and their bullshit... You have my love is all.
