| Comment | I think it's easy to be in your own little world. I'm a foreign Glasgow resident, have been for near 20 years, but I grew up in England, so my Latvian accent is very subtle, and moving around so much growing up it's not even an English accent, most people can't place it. Personally I've never experienced racism towards me, but I've always lived in the west end. What I have experienced is how casual other people can be about it, otherwise nice reasonable people, suddenly come out with the most racist things. I've called them out on it before because that could easily be me, always hear "yeah but I don't think of you as foreign". No, please, if you know me, and you like me, think of me as foreign so you begin to understand how idiotic some of your attitudes are. |
