Comment | > For a while I worked in a pub in Germany in a city that has a lot of Americans due to there being an American army base nearby. A touring singer (a black woman from Baltimore) had a slot one weekend in our pub and we got talking. She hugged me as soon as she heard I was from Glasgow and said the impression she got from singing in Glasgow is that "there is zero racism", as she put it. She told me how she got treated with racism in the US and abroad but felt so welcomed in Glasgow.
I am semi-friends with a black woman in Glasgow, who was telling me she's never in decades had one instance of racism. Obviously she's perhaps been lucky in that regard, but anyway.
Moment she lands in America though it's very plain. |
