Yes that's why I'm asking because I personally don't look at people at how they look and just wanna make sure it's the same in America because here in Europe I think they have quite a lot of racism and I'm not too sure about America

So are you saying it's only when you have dark skin? Because I often heard it's also the other way around that some Americans generally separate based on that, just wanna make sure.

In some online content it seems like people with darker skin in America sometimes group together called "African-American community" and I'm not sure if they would accept you and interact normally with you when you have lighter skin

Oh okay. I would call these ethnicities

So do Americans actually label people with different skin types as different "races"? That sounds a little radical

 

Hi I'm from Europe and unfortunately in the past few years I realized how much racism there is in the world which really messes up my mind since that concept didn't exist for me as a kid and I thought it's normal that people look different.

Having very pale skin and not having visited too many countries I was wondering if I might encounter any problems in America because of my skin. Can I just talk to anyone or will people reject me because of my skin? (I have blond hair too)
