    I was born and raised in Mauritius. Firstly, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Mauritians to my African friends for any racism and discrimination they experienced on the island. I live in Canada. I do feel racism and discrimination over here as well related to job application daily life, and people do look at you with suspicion at times. Many times, if I am walking on the sidewalk , the white will cross the street to use the other side of the sidewalk. Life shows me that we have racism and discrimination in all countries. Mauritius isn't an exception.
    As far as Mauritius, I have friends of black descent and other ethnicities. We didn't discriminate. I presume this will change over time and over generations. It won't happen overnight. We still have a glimpse of colonial attitudes in our doings. It' s fading away. I am pretty sure in future with new crop of politicians and with different mindset , positive changes will come. I do understand it's not nice when they do profiling at the airport. It doesn't feel nice at all. I hope someday the experience will be much better.

I have never felt more looked down upon, or even despised, for just my appearance as a black man than I did travelling separately in Finland, Austria and Hungary. It wasn't overt or stated directly but a series of irregular incidents in public just added up until I came to the realisation these things were happening because of the colour of my skin. And I'm telling you it's not a good feeling because I felt so powerless, especially since I'm not used to facing discrimination. My only consolation was I was in those countries for brief moments, and couldn't get out fast enough.

The reason why alot of africans dont want to identify themselves as african is because we are the lossing team at the moment, we on the bottom and nobody wants to admit they are part of the losing team. What we need to do is unite as africans and build our households, neighbourhoods, communities, towns, cities, provinces, countries and ultimately the entire african continent. Trust me when we start winning they will want to be african all of a sudden but it will be too late for them based on their current filthy actions and bad attitudea towards us.

    Mauritius is the WORST country i have ever visited as an African. I was on a business trip traveling with colleagues from South Africa (all white). On landing from Johannesburg, i was singled out from the Immigration queue taken to a room and interrogated on purpose of my travel. Made to log on to my laptop to ascertain it was a work laptop, my luggage searched by the rudest Immigration lady. That was oct 2019. It took the intervention of my colleagues to have me released. I've never been so traumatized. Listening to this just triggered that experience . Africans do not dare. Hotel treatment mirrors Immigration. Terrible place. Mindset. Just horrible

The order of hierarchy is - the French whites (live in exclusive regions such as Le Morne), the Indians come second and occupy predominantly top government positions and the Creole (usually of Afro descent) are at the bottom of everything. Well, at least, they often console themselves with Sega music.

      Social hierarchy is not based on race but on money, education and competence/useful knowledge. I am pretty sure people living in Ikoyi and banana island are not racist towards people living in makoko slum. I am pretty sure rich white people in South Africa are not racist towards por white people living in the slums in SA. Not every social discrepancy is based on racism. When black millionaire meet white millionaire they don't talk about race. Racism is for people living on the "bottom" and for prisons not for elites haha. And if you think Mauritius is racist go to places like Japan or Middle east. And I will end it with this, titles and topics like this are helping multiracial elites to keep dividing the common people "peasants". It is one of the oldest game plans in the book, divide and conquer! Turn blacks against whites, turn men against women and turn democrat against republican. Now it will be harder for them to unite. EASY! While people in the middle and at the bottom are distracted arguing about race and who is more privileged they are becoming richer and richer. It's actually embarrassing how easy we make it for them... PEACE! And racism is judging someone solely based on his race. Racism is not one race having more money than another race. Money you have is based on competence/usefulness and not race. Nobody is going to give you money or job because of you skin, that is a fairytale hhh. And when it comes to being treated different by government officials specifically airports and police officers. We have to take it in to consideration and aknowlage that blacks on average commit more crime than other races. I know this is unfortunate for honest law abiding black people, but humans recognising patterns helped us survive in the wild for thousands of years. The best thing you can do as an individual is to "beat" the stereotype and show them you are not part of the statistics. This is how you actually change the narrative in healthy realistic way. Much LOVE to all my "common" people out there!

    As a Nigerian diaspora (now a Canadian citizen) I believe the African leadership is responsible for our ordeal when it comes to racism. It seems like no where is safe especially if you are Nigerian or black African. Then, you see our stupid leader continue to run down African countries, while they send their kids to stupid in other countries, where their children continue to experience racial profiling. It's our leadership fault, it's their responsibility to fix this. I've learned over time that racism is more of poverty and negative media than our appearance as black Africans. Take a look at Japanese people, how often do you see them talking about racial profiling in today's world? People of Mauritius do not look better than other Africans, yet, they racially profile other Africans. Think about this folks.

    Upon my arrival in Mauritius in 2019, my experience was marred by an unfortunate incident. While my wife, who is German, had arrived a day earlier, I was detained for a prolonged four-hour period at immigration. I underwent a thorough search, including the removal of my clothes. The situation escalated when an officer even brandished handcuffs, which I found so absurd that I couldn't help but laugh. However, the situation took a turn when my phone rang, and it was my wife calling. As soon as she entered the immigration office, the atmosphere shifted dramatically. Suddenly, everyone became apologetic and accommodating. Despite my attempts, displaying pictures of our marriage didn't initially alleviate their suspicion. It was only when they saw my wife in person that they swiftly released me. This encounter highlighted a disheartening level of racism that deeply affected me.

The sad thing is that it isn't that these black people are not intelligently capable, but they are just deprived of better opportunities and descriminated. It's good that you're talking about this.

      Social hierarchy is not based on race but on money, education and competence/useful knowledge. I am pretty sure people living in Ikoyi and banana island are not racist towards people living in makoko slum. I am pretty sure rich white people in South Africa are not racist towards por white people living in the slums in SA. Not every social discrepancy is based on racism. When black millionaire meet white millionaire they don't talk about race. Racism is for people living on the "bottom" and for prisons not for elites haha. And if you think Mauritius is racist go to places like Japan or Middle east. And I will end it with this, titles and topics like this are helping multiracial elites to keep dividing the common people "peasants". It is one of the oldest game plans in the book, divide and conquer! Turn blacks against whites, turn men against women and turn democrat against republican. Now it will be harder for them to unite. EASY! While people in the middle and at the bottom are distracted arguing about race and who is more privileged they are becoming richer and richer. It's actually embarrassing how easy we make it for them... PEACE! And racism is judging someone solely based on his race. Racism is not one race having more money than another race. Money you have is based on competence/usefulness and not race. Nobody is going to give you money or job because of you skin, that is a fairytale hhh. And when it comes to being treated different by government officials specifically airports and police officers. We have to take it in to consideration and aknowlage that blacks on average commit more crime than other races. I know this is unfortunate for honest law abiding black people, but humans recognising patterns helped us survive in the wild for thousands of years. The best thing you can do as an individual is to "beat" the stereotype and show them you are not part of the statistics. This is how you actually change the narrative in healthy realistic way.

    Very sad to hear this, Steven. Unfortunately, as a Mauritian, I can attest to the small-mindedness of Mauritian people, and how their behaviour many times is based on negative, and outdated stereotypes. I think especially the staff at the airport need to be trained and educated about African visitors, and how to treat them in a polite and professional way. Even as a Mauritian man, If I am travelling alone and coming back to Mauritius, I'm always singled out for secondary screening of my baggage. We have to do better, but it takes a lot to breakthrough the remnants of the colonial mindset in Mauritius. To be honest, what I encourage expats to do there is just build a vibrant community of expats and to socialize among themselves, adding the occasional Mauritian with the right mindset. Most Mauritians are a lost cause unfortunately. As for the Creole population, it's tough but they are finding ways to become successful in specific avenues and industries such as construction.

If you count these out, crime is not that bad. I've leaved in South Africa for more than 40 years, and I've never experienced any crime, and none of my family members.

Since July, the Passport and Immigration Office has refused to give me and many other Nigerians applying for study, our visas, even if we meet all the requirements; legal, academic, financial, etc. Denying us this visa is one thing, but not responding to us (whether granted or denied), leaving us confused on whether to apply elsewhere, especially when fees have been paid is needles, especially when an entire country's people (Nigeria in this case) are being specifically blacklisted (without officially informing us like Dubai did). They have even refused to let my School's administration know the cause of the 5+ month delay so even the school doesn't know what to do & we Nigerian students who only want to study are the ones with the shortest end of the stick. This video doesn't surprise me at all because I have witnessed it firsthand for months now and I'm not even there yet.

I know in India which has a ton of African students studying, the local Indians do complain about the Nigerians because too many of them have been caught in the drug trade and overstay their visas and commit crimes. You will never find the local Indian complain about the other African countries, they say it is always the Nigerians. Sadly most of the illiterate locals don't know the difference and see news reports of Africans. But I know I was in Goa for two weeks, and the locals there know the difference. They never trouble the other Africans and I even saw a Goan lady support a group of Africans. But the Nigerians are always caught with drugs. I just have to be honest. I believe in Kenya too, they wanted to expell all Nigerians at one time.

    This was hard to watch as it brought back horrible memories. I went to Mauritius 6 years ago on holiday and sadly had the exact same experience. I travelled with 3 Nigerian friends. I am also Nigerian but a British citizen. This is probably the only time I could clearly feel that that British passport got us through that airport. We were questioned for close to 2 hours by their immigration, taken off the queue to be questioned in a separate room. The only ones taken off the queue. Eventually the consensus was these are professionals and 'this one' has a British passport. First and last time I'm ever going there. Very dehumanising experience. A real case of the travelling while black situation. At the restaurants and beaches by the resort we stayed in, they were full of Europeans. Once you step into a restaurant, they start starring, like they're surprised black people are on holiday and are not just 'staff'. Just wow.

    Thanks for making this video Steven. It shows your maturity as a storyteller and filmmaker. My personal answer to your question is YES!! I visited Mauritius about 5 years ago. Even though I travelled on a European passport and was travelling with a group (I was the only black person in the group), I was profiled, singled out, separated from my group and subjected to a series of questions that bordered on suspicion as to my intentions. It took the bravery of one of my fellow travellers (white person) coming back to where I'd been detained to inform the officials that I was part of their group. Only then did they let me go. There were other incidents during that same trip that space will not let me recount here. I like to think of myself as open-minded and not one who quickly pulls out the racism argument when treated unfairly while travelling. But Mauritius showed me her colours and according to Maya Angelou, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. Having said that, it is a beautiful country with lots of good points. All I can say is good luck to other black travellers intending to visit Mauritius.

      I've read a great many comments in this post and yours did capture my attention. But when you mentioned the quote from Maya Angelou, of which I am very familiar, that sealed it for me!! I was considering a visit to Mauritius, however, it now appears some rethinking and contemplating on my part is necessary! I appreciate your insight!

      What's wrong with telling the truth, recounting the facts.
      Racism is real, acting like this is debatable is dangerous.
      And, it's not only real after things happen to you.
      Keep reading, keep listening, It sounds like you still have a lot of learning to do.

    As a Mauritian, racism is very real here. Even among each other, we are racist. Disgusting behaviour from immigration officers. In fact, many public servants like policemen, immigration officers are so incompetent. They come across as grumpy, rude, and fed up with life. Even when I travel out and come back to Mauritius, I get the looks of death. Also, I have seen with my own eyes how once an elderly woman was talking rudely to a Continental African who was a cashier in a supermarket because she's from the Continent. And also, I was told by a friend who works at the airport, how an African American told him that the latter was striped naked to be searched. I pray for the day Mauritians who stop being so short-minded.
