There’s probably history too, but in many cities in EU there’s a lot of assumed roma beggars living in the streets, which means it’s a pretty in-your-face practical issue to deal with every day.

White doesn’t really have the same connotations in europe. There’s sadly plenty of racism, but the skin tone isn’t the main discriminator.

It’s pretty good at starting services. It just keeps adding bundled things people wouldn’t use otherwise, in a fairly microsoft fashion

There’s a lot of nice people out there you could safely compromise with on smaller things for mutual benefits, so it can be worthwhile to work on.

Being aware of it and examining it like you are now is a good first step.

Perhaps you could try to compromise on something tiny, with someone who hasn’t abused you, and see how it feels?

People have been trying that for years without apparent success. Let’s try shunning the antisocial people instead. We didn’t defeat the nazis by being nice and friendly to them
