Hi! Today, I want to talk about a topic that I've experienced multiple times in my life, in this country. And that's racism! How do you view racism? Is it still alive in this country, in your opinion? Have you ever experienced racism in your life? How did you handle your racist experience?
This sounds like something an American would write. "This country"? As if everybody who speaks English is from your country? Maybe you should start by saying what country you're writing from. I look Caucasian and thus I haven't really ever felt like I've been discriminated against. I can remember one time while I was traveling through Africa, when I was treated different. It took me 8 hours to cross the border between Egypt and Sudan. A few hours before the end, one of the border officials called me into his office. I was the only white person on the border. We just apologized for the wait and let me sit in the air conditioned room the whole time. It was a bit awkward because everybody else was waiting in the heat, but I was grateful.
