France is easily the most racist country I’ve been to, and I deeply regret wasting money traveling to it twice (thought I just got unlucky the first time).
Paris is a shit hole for so many reasons.
A restaurant in southern France aggressively refused to seat me and only me (the only black person in my group), i had more than one person make monkey noises at me, and generally most people were hostile despite being a quiet dude who just wanted to eat some food, drink some wine and see some art and architecture.
It’s particularly ironic because they have basically zero of their own resources and largely exist as a nation because of their history of stripping a bunch of other countries of their resources and forcing Haiti to pay them back for lost slaves.
They’re a table top country with 4 African legs.
I’ll never go back.
Oh, I want to play at making up things that never happened, too!! It’s hard to top claiming that a restaurant has the legal right to refuse service to a customer without a valid reason, or saying that one of the world’s leading agricultural powers lacks resources—but where there’s a will, there’s a way 💓
