[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]News flash. Racism is a global issue. I have seen it in Europe, and in Asia. It seems to exist everywhere to one extent or another. [/quote]

This. Doesn't matter where you are in the world. If you are "not local" or not "from around there" then expect some locals to hate you. No big deal, just be polite and remember you are in their territory and a guest, so act cordially regardless.[/quote]

This.  Hostility may or may not have to do with skin color, but if you expect it to you may feel that it does.  It is often more that visitors are "different", in many ways.  Apparent wealth, attire, hairstyle, tattoos, piercings, language, cultural affectations, manner and volume of speech, indifference or ignorance of local customs.  Nonetheless, it's possible to get along just fine with some attention to your own behavior and appearance in the context of your environment, something tourists are not always sensitive to.

Well said. That should be put in all travel brochures and websites. Being mindful of other's cultures is important and one should try to blend in as much as possible and adopt local ways. [/quote]
