As a forgeiner in the country where I currently live, I have some things I'd like to point out.

I'm white and from Western Europe. I moved to another Western European country. Sometimes, the natives here are talking about foreigners when they are with me. When I point out that I am also a foreigner, I can hear the gears in their heads grinding. When they talk about foreingers, they talk about non-white people. This country is to a certain extent welcoming to white people, but not to other foreigners. There is no progressive culture regarding non white people. It's all a facade. And it's not only directed to non-white foreigners. Even white people from Eastern Europe get shit on. And even to me they are sending mixed signals. When it's convenient for them, I'm one of their own, when it's not convenient for them, I'm an outsider.

I have, however, never had these problems with non-white foreigners or in non-white countries for some reason. Fuck this map.
