I mean, I keep coming across threads going, "Will [so and so] country like blacks?" "Are blacks accepted there?" "Can an black person date?"

I mean, you're the ones being racist for assuming people of other races are discriminatory towards you

No, that's perfectly normal. I'd probably ask the same thing as a white person if I were going to Africa. Racism is still a real thing, and it's understandable that someone would like to know whether or not they will be discriminated against because of their skin colour.

It's not being "racist" to ask those type of questions. It's being realistic that racial ignorance is still very much a real thing in the world and people have legitimate concerns over how they might be treated.

Only a person who's never experienced this would feel comfortable asking this question

You'd be treated like a king in Africa. They practically worship whites over there.

I hate the posh Eton/Oxbridge people who run this country also. I am white British but have nothing in common with them, we shouldn't make this about race but class. Nobody in my area would ever be a CEO of a company, a politician, a judge etc either. We are also looked down upon because of our working class accents, what we wear etc. It is class that ruins the UK.

But the elite look down on everyone who wasn't at Eton, Oxford or Cambridge. Not just blacks.

It seems to me that you dislike anyone who is successful or has received a very good education? Inverse snobbery at work? Most politicians didn't study at Oxbridge anyway.
