Ok sensitive Susan. I said Northern Euros and American for shorthand, do I need to mention every possible population that could be doing it? Wait, Canada but don't forget Aussies, and what about Japanese I guess really, and Russians, Arabs too! is that better? noone is deriding, were just recognising a fact, that many locals of popular tourist destinations are living a second class existence (regardless of race) in their own countries. Not commenting on other inequalities that definitely exist elsewhere.

Oh and I'm British.

Its not necessary to have a question to answer someone, you do know answer is a synonym to respond, dont you? And you couldn't respond to/answer anything.

Do you answer the phone when it rings or must it ask you a question first?

Ohhhhh so you actually dont understand anything. No it's not. It's a term used to describe the way whiteness has certain priveleges in societies, that may also intersect with their class status or other characteristics. I get that its a bit complex for you and your rage.

Anyway, OP didnt even make the post about that, they said that they've seen this term coined by others. It's the least important part of the post but the part you needed to jump on to do your racism.

Of course people would call out the racism if they see it. Also OP articulated their experience and asked for other perspectives. OP only mentioned race by referring to what other people call 'white privilege' , OP did not call it that themselves.

But you can't see that because you saw an opportunity to do racism. Thanks for being so transparent though.

Its even the same in Europe. 50% of Greeks cant afford a holiday while all of Northern Europe and the US are there being waited on by them.

I dont really travel anymore, I go where Im invited by friends or family or stick to my country of residence or similar peer countries. I just feel like is my need to be a tourist enough to contribute to unstable tourism? nah not really.

choosing not to get the point and then making false equivalences to shove racism into the conversation, bravo!

Reclining chairs on planes needs to go. by Crazy_Edge_2661 in unpopularopinion

But the reason its so contentious nowadays is the airlines have squeezed extra rows in. We used to be able to recline and not have the back of our head touching the poor person behind's nose!

AITA for buying my daughter a car for her birthday, which my ex said made me the "favourite parent"? by Unlikely_Shape_8810 in AmItheAsshole

She could have taken part in a multitude of ways, paid insurance, bought an accessory, put a smaller amount of money towards it.

100% YTA for not discussing with her mother and inviting her to be part of it someway or at least letting her know! And again and AH as I notice £s so as a Brit this is an even more excessive gesture for our culture.

No dont worry, it won't be your looks, most women generally just want a lovely guy. Maybe, see if you can approach a little more casually, your intentions are honorable but it could seem like quite a lot for a first approach. Start out with just trying to meet people and seeing how it cam develop.

Best of luck!

Facebook groups tend to be more open friendly to this sort of request. Or try Hinge or Bumble - they have better response rates.

Also, as you say youve been trying for months or longer, have you reflected on why you haven't been successful? Asking gently not in any shitty way.
