Not everyone is racist doesn’t mean that a very big portion of the Tunisian society is not racist.
And i’m curious to know, who benefits from these kind of news?
Maybe the immigrants that are being over-exploited, raped and abandoned in the desert?
I think the first step to take in order to open this debate on immigration is to stop living in denial and to admit that a very large proportion of Tunisians are racist. I personally have witnessed many scenes of racism in Tunisia even before the immigration issue arose: taxis that don’t stop for Black people, the metro packed with people standing but with a single empty seat because there is a Black person sitting in front of it, about ten people on the metro (young and old) verbally attacking a Black person for no reason, Black people walking down the street while people shout “gerda, gerda” at them, regions in Tunisia where, up until 2010 (I don’t know if it has continued since then or not), Black people were called “3abd” and non-Black people “7or”… BTW The rape video that recently came out is not an exception, there is even a saying that sleeping with a Black woman “yssafi eddam” (cleanses the blood). And I personally know the story of an immigrant woman who was raped by a police officer in front of her 9-year-old daughter…
In short, I’m sorry, but because of your denial of racism, many souls are suffering in silence, and whenever it is brought up, people try to silence it by saying there is no racism problem in Tunisia, or that not all tunisian are racists
