      They supported Mandela, all while they practiced their own, lite unofficial version of Apartheid.

    I wish this conversation went deeper. It was an echo of countless other conversations previously had about the immigrant and non-white experience in the U.S. However, I think this video is interesting because it mentioned Boston’s veiled, passive aggressive racism and another RUclipsr I watch mentioned some time ago that she experienced that in Boston.

    I looked up racism in Massachusetts bc I recently moved here,and honestly I didn’t expect the passive aggressive behavior. Like Boston is such a big city with plenty of immigrants, but you could feel the little uncomfortably of some non poc folks when you approach or talk to them. Even Doctor made me and my mom feel this way. And I think that’s why they didn’t take time to give her proper care, she could have die smh.

    Just like other big cities: NYC, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seatle, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, ect...
    Boston is a diverse city. Harvard and MIT are two famous universities in Cambridge, Mass. Racism is still happen in many cities, not just Boston.

      Also America has long "Woken up", it ended Institutionalized Slavery nearly 180 years ago, and has since ended Segregation. Not sure what else you want America to do, besides make it Illegal to be Racist... which would be contradictory to the First Amendment.

    Ugh. Victim mentality. Stop. Yes. Sometimes you will encounter hardship. I am an immigrant. I have been profiled before. You soak it in and you use it a fuel to do better and be better and move forward. Life is hard. It was probably hard for the Irish and British and Italian and German immigrants that make 99.99% of the East cost as well…they probably faced hardship too. Such is life. Most of these kids are gonna be fine and probably have wonderful lives and great job prospectives. Specially in MA….so diverse! I’ve lived everywhere and I became a citizen a year ago. I’ll also brown. But I no longer subscribe to this victim hood mindset.

    As a minority, racism is on the very bottom of the list or non existent when choosing a criteria for a city/state. Boston Mass is one of the best ranked cities/state in almost every major category but reporters and news outlets like this one chooses to completely disregard this considerably basic fact. I would expect things like crime, education, healthcare, economy, etc. would be more important rather than trying to push this narrative onto young people but what do i know.
