I was going through the post history of some ethnic users and I saw a lot of posts about racism in the West. As an Indian guy who moved to Scandinavia last year, I have never had any issues here. Everyone from cashiers, to bus drivers, to shopkeepers is kind and friendly. Whether it be old people or teenagers they have always behaved nicely to me. I was thinking that oldies would be racist to me but surprisingly they have been very chill.
Teenagers and kids too are friendly from whatever interactions I've had with them. Now finally coming to the women, I never felt that the local women here have treated me like I am going to rape them on the spot. In fact when travelling in buses there have been several occasions when women would come and sit next to me when they could go sit next to a white person or a woman.
Overall I feel like my skin color has never mattered here and I have not faced a single incident when I felt someone was rude to me. Am I just lucky or is Scandinavia better in this regard compared to say UK or is the West actually not racist?
