As a Bulgarian lady I have never felt anything relevant after 10 years in Barcelona. I am caucasian and my Spanish is very good.
After a mere year in Berlin on the other hand I have felt too many of such instances. And yes, my German is basic.
In Barcelona I have heard abour racist incidents with southamerican, asian and africanamerican friends of mine.
Either you are caucasian or Latino you never get any form of racism here and never noticed as Indonesian they always figured i'm either Latino or Filipino
Careful here! Big, international cities are different from smaller ones and rural areas. Each autonomous region is like another country and can impose requirements on Spanish from other parts needing to find work. Also, the class divide is growing in Spain. Look at who is now in poorly paid jobs in construction, catering and care for the elderly. Those workers are different from high level execs. In general, though, interculturalism is a new experience for many communities across Spain. There can be initial prejudice through ignorance (in real sense of the word) and a period of adjustment to find balance. The UK used to have that balance, as did many parts of the US. I experienced this myself in both places and hope Spain gets to enjoy "convivencia", the capacity to live together.
As a french struggling with my very low level in castillan spanish, I experienced that "racism" from non catalan speaking there. I would not say it's racism though, it's like trying to speak english to a french without him understanding what you say. He would not look at you with the mouth open because he would look stupid, he would just prefer to ignore you.
Just because a person of a different "race" experiences something negative, it is easy and reassuring to think that there is racism involved... but it is almost never necessarily the case.
Oh yeah the catalan language filter. Right. It has happened, rarely, quite ridiculous. Put me off from learning Catalan, sadly.
That's a really cheap excuse, if you come to live to a foreign land you have to learn the language of the place, that's a basic, otherwise the more time you spend there without knowing the language (Catalan in this case) the more disrespect you are showing to the place and it's people. You say you are Bulgarian, then that's exactly the same as me coming to your country and basicly express myself there all the time in Russian, (since it's a very widely understood language) rather than Bulgarian.
I'm sure in Quebec they would feel the same way if you came there lets say 10 years a go and you still address to people in English, simple as that. довиждане!👋🏻
No you're basically racist and this is against the concept of freedom I have the freedom to speak any language I want and catalan isn't the main language in spain it's Spanish @elkrim8936
Never had such an issue in Barcelona they thought i was a Latino and was treated well
5:10 this did not happen, but go on, Rebecca :D
Barcelona like many cities, has a mix of people and cultures, for a visitor of colour, they probably won't experience racism, as a tourist destination they're used to this mix. But Spain as a whole has a Big Racism problem, it has some lovely non racist people within, but the legacy of Franco's fascism is alive and well! If you step out of Barcelona you will see it, even the Black American's nationhood privilege won't save him from it!
F ck off. Spain as a whole has a Big Invasion problem. Pure self defense
You don't know what you're talking about, Franco was not racist, he was many things but racist wasn't one, both Falange and Tradicionalismo, the two main political support he had, weren't racist either, also, with Franco, there were north african and black Spanish citizens (Sáhara, Ifni, Protectorado de Marruecos, Fernando Poo and Rio Muni), all those political ideas believe in panhispanism, meaning the Spanish "race" is built through language and culture, there's many public speaches about it from people around Franco.
The racism comes from other movements that had happened, mainly NS which had a big protection for a while being considered an allied movement, also Spanish far right had moved a lot towards NS lately, but in essence, Franquismo, Falangismo and Tradicionalismo (what we could say where the regime's political movements) think as race as something else.
As I said, Franco was many many many terrible things, but he wasn't racist as we can understand it now a days, he was a panhispanic nationalist so he probably hated all non Hispanic people, and non catholics, and communits and a lot more people.
@@kiliang96 hmmm thanks for this, I will investigate, and Happy to stand corrected if proven to be true. I have travelled to a fair few countries in Europe and have personally found Spain to be on of the most racist. Wen I enquired fingers pointed toward Franco, from the people I asked. But your points certainly sound plausible. Again thsnks for the info
I feel sorry for all the people from this video who had experiemced any kind of discrimination, EXCEPT for the Australian guy.
He got what he deserved.
He simply doesn't understand that Spanish IS NOT the first language in Barcelona, rather it's Catalonian.
If he doesn't speak it, it's OK, but in that case plese USE ENGLISH, and nobody will say a word to you for not speaking Catalonian.
If a person from Madrid comes to Barcelona, and only speaks Spanish, of couse that they will reply in Spanish (because they all can speak it).
But if you are a foreigner who made a choice to live in Catalonia, and MADE AN EFFORT to learn Spanish but didn't make an effort to learn the first language of Barcelona, then it's a problem.
Just speak English, for god's sake!
