Outside of the US, If ur not an A-list black entertainer, they’ll treat u like shyt

funny, I'm a regular nikka and have been treated pretty solid going overseas.

When me and wifee went to Australia back in '19, we flew into Melbourne ironically. They were on joke time at customs talking about "How's the orange guy treating ya :mjlol: ".

Never been to Melbourne but I went to a foot locker in Sydney and the light skin black breh looked at me like he saw a celebrity. It was like “I ain’t seen one of yall in a minute.” :russ:
I went to a footlocker in Melbourne, bumped into a Sudanese cat working there. Breh was like 6’4 and thought I was Canadian because of my accent. But yeah he was like we don’t see y’all like that out here.

nikkas be in Bali though

You got something you want to get off your chest, pleighboi? You're in a fortunate position, because @The Realist Perspective is just the juice at the bottom of the trash can, so he's taken away any vitriol I may have had towards anyone else in this thread. So if you disagree with my stance on this, please present it, respectfully, and we can work towards an agree to disagree. :myman:

I wonder what the success rate is for these racial profiling cases. like what's the point besides violating a breh
You got to be an idiot to try to sneak drugs onto international flights as a black person knowing it's probably like a 25% chance or some other crazy high amount of you being profiled. no offense Brittany Griner
I got profiled at the DOOR of the plane in cancun, smh. meaning i already made it through security and as I was getting on the plane two soldiers pulled me to the side and went through my bag. shyt be shameless too. they will literally pull the only black person out of a line of 100 white people just to profile you

Eric’s appearance 100% probably led to him being pulled ‘randomly’

He even says he will not cut his hair or put on a three piece suit just so he can enter a country.

Is it because he looks like he's vaguely Middle Eastern?

Basically. I'm not denying black people get profiled at airports, it's happened to me at least twice (out of scores of flights). But I'm gonna assume Arab and Middle Eastern-looking people get profiled way more lol. I've def heard white people at the airport say things like "he looks weird/suspicious" about the most normal looking Arab people sitting not far from us.
