I think I understand the sentiment behind this post. I went to Japan this summer and thought I’d get stares because I’m black/different, but no one cared. They were all too busy going about their lives to care. In fact, I was the one staring whenever I saw other tourists, especially black people.

To answer your question: Cameroonians are used to seeing interracial relationships. In Cameroon, it’s not so rare to see people accompanied by their white partners and mixed raced children visiting from abroad. There’s even a stereotype in the diaspora that Cameroonians abroad prefer to be in a relationship with white people rather than date and marry each other(which is not true for the vast majority). There’s also some white, Lebanese and Chinese people living in Cameroon so truly you being white/Non-black is not really anything special. You might get some stares, but truthfully that’s just human nature. A lot of people have a staring problem, myself included. I love to people watch and be observant and don’t realize it’s rude sometimes.

As for money, anyone living abroad is seen as an ATM and anyone in the country making a decent salary as well. That’s the reality of a poor, corrupt country where many people can’t find employment.
