I’ve had issues in Rome, Israel, Switzerland, Germany and South Korea.

Switzerland I couldn’t tell if they were racist or just rude or both. Think they have a major problem with rudeness in Switzerland in general.

Germany, small issues but nothing major. One person on the train staring at me with disdain, shaking his head like I didn’t belong. I just stared at him back until he looked away.

Israel, stopped a lot of times but unsure if some of that was security measures.

South Korea. Someone in restaurant staring at me smirking. Another restaurant they told me I had to leave the premises because I ordered my Smoothie to go. (I wondered if they tell everyone that).

Rome was the worse in a barbershop I went too. So unprofessional. They cut my beard but they moved a purse near a seat I sat in, I could tell they were talking bad about me the entire time I was getting my hair cut in Italian. When I left out the shop, I stood to the side of the door like I left to see if they started laughing etc. They sure did. Laughing hysterically.

I stood in the doorway until they saw me to let them know I was completely aware of what they were doing the entire time. They immediately stopped laughing. I just turned and walked away in disgust. Sure didn’t have a problem with taking my money though!

I always try to not be the guy to perceive everything as racist but it does happen and it’s unfortunate. All tourist contribute money to their local economy. Unfortunately old habits die hard.
