I'm Bulgarian living in the Netherlands and I literally never witnessed racism (first because i'm white duhh?) and 0 discrimination. I'm on the high end of education tho so yeah :)

I'm Romanian living in Romania and in physical conversations while not drunk, people are cautious. But drunk (e.g. Okto berfest) or under anonymity of Internet forums, the dark side of humanity did surface out. Of course it's a small percentage of people but racism and xenophobia is alive and well.

well yea but i usually joke about bulgarians stealing stuff or etc. if someone says it seriously then it's clear they're retarded so...no point in continuing. anyway, we are earning our glory brother, slowly but surely!

Oh sweet summer child, racism applies to far more than skin color. Discrimination against country of origin is considered racism in today’s discourse. It’s a convenient cudgel to make essentially every country racist, but it is what it is.

I think it's fair to be afraid of the unknown but eastern European economies are growing and then even the point of us being too poor will be gone.

Anyway, I don't really care about racism because anyone who is racist enough not to hire me is a great dodged bullet anyway lol.

Also..sweet summer child? I don't get if you're trying to sound condescending
