Well I'm black and that part really hit hard, considering I'm trying to exit Nigeria. I have a Post Graduate degree in education and I'm almost done with my master's in Aerospace engineering, Asia is on my mind but all I keep hearing about is their blatant racism.

yes it is an unfortunate aspect of society here and when kids exhibit blatant racism they aren't punished or event talked to. It is a part of society here. I was a teacher of a girl whose parents were both Indian (in Thailand) and even though her parents were born in India, they were Thai citizens. Nancy was her name and she was a sweet kid and actually quite smart.
However, she was relentlessly bullied by the other students simply because she was "Indian".. When I reported this to the other Thai teachers they just laughed and said that she is bullied because she is Indian...as if that was just the way things are and not the wrong thing for the kids to act. sheesh.
Man that's awful and if they can do that to Indians that are technically their neighbours, imagine how they'll treat a Nigerian. Is it a common theme in just Thailand or have you heard about it in other countries?
My friend that schooled in India said they always made him feel out of place because he's black. However, another guy that went to the Philippines actually liked it there.
