[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's probably not a coincidence that your friend lived in Switzerland for many years and now is racist. I just finished reading Teju Cole's Known and Strange Things. In one of the early chapters he talks about visiting Switzerland and compares it to James Baldwin's retreat at Leukerbad. During his retreat, Baldwin finished writing Go Tell it on the Mountain, but he also wrote an essay called "Stranger in the Village" about being the first black person the villagers had ever seen. Also, as a side note, Switzerland is where Oprah said she had been discriminated against while shopping in an upscale store.[/quote]Damn, I figured because Switzerland is usually neutral in world conflicts that they’re people would be relaxed and accepting.
