    How is this racist? If I move to, say, Azerbaijan, I’m just as lost as them. I know fuck all about the language, can’t even read the alphabet they have and don’t know shit about the culture. And we share skincolours.

    I have a PhD, but I’m basically useless in Azerbaijan for anything but menial labour, explained slowly with lots of gestures.

      Culture isn’t nearly that important, and learning the language, or just speaking English, is a minor obstacle all things considered. If you move somewhere, you will get a language teacher.

          Well, then maybe it’s different In the Americas, I don’t know, but you mentioned an European country.

          I live in Europe, been around various places in Europe. I’m an immigrant myself. It’s not nearly as bad as you might think.

          And yes, obviously racism and xenophobia is a problem, but integrating into the culture won’t fix that.
