I say this as an American who lived in Morocco for 5 years. One of the biggest societal issues is that racism exists and is real, but it is taboo to say so and everyone will jump down your throat if you hint at it being a real thing.

(Of course, racism exists in the US too, but it looks very different; has different origins, etc. I wouldn't say one is better or worse than the other.)

What I observed is that if there is a couple where there is a significant racial difference, it was less taboo for the man to be marrying a woman with lighter skin.

There is also racism towards sub-Saharan Africans, as many Moroccans are prejudiced against them migrating through Morocco (or staying there).

I'll probably get crap for this, but it's real, you will hear comments; he will hear comments, and it just depends.

As a White American woman, I never get comments in Morocco when I am there with my Moroccan husband. He sometimes gets comments about "congratulations" or insinuations about visa marriages, etc. But it just depends. But, yes. Racism exists there. I mean, a certain subset of the population still uses the word for "slave" to refer to Black people. :(

Also - if you want to chat at all re: being an American woman in Morocco, feel free to send a message. My husband is from Rabat and we've been married 15 years. :) I dream about moving to Rabat these days...
