My (caucasian) sociology professor went to Nigeria awhile back and the place she visited had never seen a white person before and many children acted fascinated and called her "blanca" , so yeah they're barely educated let alone well versed in racial sensitivity

It's not racial insensitivity, it's just that they've literally never seen someone like them before. Everywhere isn't like America.

It eventually ****** me up a little. Even now, when people ask me a question I'll just ignore them, because that was my instinct when everyone was staring at me.
It was worse for someone else I knew, they were bright blonde. Stuck out like a dick in a christmas cake.

sphincterface (12/16/2015) [-] They didn't know better.
She was probably the first white person they ever saw in their entire life, and they don't really have access to the internet or books or tv, so there is no way they would be able to know that there are white people in the world. They probably thought she had some sort of illness or something. Besides, it's just kids being kids. Children really don't have a lot of tact and are pretty blunt on what they feel or think, and they tend to not really understand if they said something offensive.

You do know that they got that from somewhere right?
like,They were educated by their parents who called blank people blank people
Do African adults have the excuse of beeing children?
So don't give children an excuse
I do however still excuse the children as well as the parents

> they got that idea from someone else
***** do you not remember the 1st time you met a slanty eyed asian when u were a kid?
we didnt need to see no damn adult doing that **** for us to automatically do it ourselves as an obvious joke to perform. i think for me and my little school friends it came from the simple idea of wondering what its like to see with slanty eyes.

My mum (who's black/indian) toured china in maoist times. While on a train she got asked why her skin was that colour followed by "does it come off".

Denver (12/16/2015) [-] Yeah when my Nan (who is Irish) went to my grandfather's birth place (which is a village in the Dominican Rep.), all the children there under around 16 came running up to all my family with white skin and tried rubbing their arms as if they were covered in white ash or something.

sakagamitomoyo (12/16/2015) [-] Isn''t that what they would call themselves. Blanca meaning white and the other way negro meaning black. "Words aren't worse than you make them out to be" Is something my mom used to tell me as a child.
