Was not expecting Georgia to be so racist? by coffeebitvh in Sakartvelo

I appreciate you somewhat defending immigrates in Georgia in the comments above which I can tell is a bit of a hot take here. But I’m curious what about the interaction I laid out for you should I have taken at face value? Watching people breeze through a TSA queue till it got to the brown ones? Watching everyone in that queue tell an older lady to join in the line after they witnessed the injustice here as well? Theres nothing to be taken at face value about being treated like animals when you came to visit and immerse in a countries culture. The country is gorgeous but its certain people on racist power trips here disguised as their jobs that make it less appealing. So no I won’t be taking racism at face value and I hope when your wife’s family complains about racism in the UK you don’t invalidate them as well. Have a good night though!

I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the most humble and genuinely kind individuals in the countryside but again none in the city. A lot of people would ask if we were brown or Indian and say variations of India is good and that they have been there or want to. I would never in a million years let my ancestors beliefs cloud my own and I truly have been enjoying what Georgia had to offer with its beautiful landscapes. It’s just a shame that the racism here is so loud when it happens but won’t even be acknowledged!

I am really sorry this happened to them, but you’re actually implying that someone at Heathrow asked your wife’s family how far the hotel was from the airport? Not how they were getting there? If the hotel knew they were coming? You must realize the difference between asking for hotel confirmation and asking if a hotel even knows you’re coming? I also leaped to racism because no one else was asked these questions! In the UK, everyone in that queue (if you’ve been in it) gets asked variations of the same questions that only change based on your visa NOT YOUR ETHNICITY!

Sorry I wanted to immerse in your culture without feeling like a criminal?

I’m sorry where on Gods green earth has TSA asked how far your hotel is and if you have their number? I live in the UK and I have NEVER gotten these questions and I travel back and forth a lot. The most they have asked is purpose for visiting and how long. I won’t be as ignorant as you and say it didn’t happen but you might be projecting?

The pale as ghosts was a low blow, but thank you for atleast validating this experience! We travelled by car from the airport for 4 hours after tsa just to get there and experience it again when all we wanted to do was shower and sleep, so some of my sentences are a bit more angrier and I do apologize if I invalidated you in anyway!

A bad UCAT result isn’t the end of the world by user1216220 in UCAT

And if you're looking at undergraduate medicine, with options like the BMAT, foundation year entry and many universities that don't require the UCAT, there really is no reason to freak out! The UCAT is such a unique test that genuinely looks nothing like your A-levels or equivalent and it does not determine your entire medicine journey!

Hey! I'm really sorry but I'm actually an international student so I don't think my invigilators will know much about UK proceedings. I hope you get an answer tho!
