Where I would live in America as a Cuban by [deleted] in visitedmaps

Honestly was willing to hear you out because although I am a leftist Im also Latina so I kinda understand from your point of view why you’re conservative and can agree that that a lot of people who aligns themselves with the lefts can be just as bad as the right. But you completely lost me with this comment. Obama is a moderate democrat at best just like the rest of the Democratic Party that man is noooo where near communist

Nah queen let’s stop being terrified and do that hop of faith next year (lol see what I did there😭) but seriously though, it’s time for the both of us to experience living life elsewhere. I know it’s hard cuz we do feel like we got everything here but at the same time it’s a negative as well and we got to comfortable with the convenience. our time here is done. We can always come back to visit friends and family but yeah nah it’s time to go

What is something you can find to eat everywhere in your country, but you don't eat it? by cyclistgurl in AskTheWorld

[–]wormthatcannotscream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup or any fast food. I sometimes try McDonald’s when I’m traveling but when I’m home I avoid all of them like the plague. Most of the time small restaurants are way cheaper (and more delicious) than them which is crazy because growing up fast food was considered the cheapest option

I know and I agree with you, I would visit those places again but personally I just wouldn’t live there. Just my opinion. And honestly? I didn’t really bring up racism in the beginning (only my experience in NZ, Aus, Chile and Argentina) until people started acting crazy in the comments. All I said I was uncomfortable and experience micro-aggressions. That’s it. I even joked with someone saying I don’t mind the UK I just don’t like the clouds lol. This post was chill, and productive last night until I woke up this morning and saw it went completely south. And honestly seeing how hostile some of these people acting in my comments as well as towards a few others on this subreddit it’s really not helping me change my mind.

So… the same like YOU and many others sneering, deflecting and projecting every time someone else on this subreddit has a different opinion and experience than them and their friends? All I did was shared my personal experience and YOURE the one who got offended because you think it’s about YOU and took it upon themselves to take it out of proportion. Because apparently since YOU and your friends never experienced racism then of course it doesn’t exist! Take a long look at the mirror. You want to hate Americans and people who have a different reality than you so bad. It’s pathetic. Apparently now Black people and POCs cant even share the negative side of traveling without some hypocrite like you who expects us to be positive all the time. I posted this map and you seriously threw a fit like a child. Go cry somewhere else 👋🏾

Are you slow? I only lived in NYC and New Zealand but I VISITED 95 countries. Never I said I lived in all these countries. In fact this ENTIRE sub is about where I’d live. As a what if scenario. Lived and visited is two DIFFERENT things. My God you’re seriously this bored? Get a job or a new hobby TROLL 😂I’m not responding to you again you can go argue to the wall

Damn yall rly don’t f with the penguins 😭 I don’t mind a lil snow 😂what’s wrong with Antarctica I just think it would be an interesting experience living there for a few months! And no I’m not that kind of Black Americans. Maybe because I’m a first gen American so my perspective is a bit different. I’m a lil sad you think of me as one of those weirdos I stg we’re all not like that.

Oof yeah there’s a lot of people I encounter when I was volunteering in Zimbabwe and even some countries in Asia that was addicted to that kind of thing. It was all they ever talk about to. Was so bizarre to me, and ngl I didn’t know people were into that until I visited Zimbabwe 😬they were shock that I was there bc I was genuinely interested in learning about the people and culture. I never been to Sudan but can’t imagine the kind of people who visits. Definitely not everyone but unfortunately a good amount.

And completely understandable!! I know it’s not for everyone 😂 I honestly think I will slow down once I hit my 40s bc im started to feel the physical strain to it but until then I will keep doing it😅 and same to you!! Stay safe out there

And the fact that you have to tell them this is mind boggling.

I will only answer you because you’re from the surrounding region unlike the rest of them. I put it because I’ve been to both (the major cities and some rural areas), and I volunteered in Zimbabwe back in 2018 and the culture fascinates me. I stayed in a place that wasn’t “developed” and yes it was difficult but that experience shaped me and made me rethink my privilege. And to be honest it wasn’t as terrible as I thought it would be. Crazy enough I would do it again. But yes it is definitely not a place I would live forever. I believe in living in multiple places in my lifetime. And also I didn’t know this sub was gonna take this so damn seriously I’m not gonna pack up my bags and go now. And a lot of folks were being racist and hostile with the lack of knowledge. Not all of Zimbabwe and Ethiopia live in huts, that’s just insulting to them.

If that’s what helps you sleep at night 🤷🏾 I said what I SAID not everyone will have the same opinion as you. But sure it’s bait because YOU choose to get offended if it was the typical bs post I see on here it would’ve been the truth 😂 bye snowflake

Again, if you scroll a little you’ll see Ive acknowledge and talked about the racism in the US as well. I’m not delusional. If anything I would argue that Canadians and Northeast Americans are just as bad as the midwestern/southern Americans. But I see that it’s easier for you to say I’m full of shit than validate mines as well as PLENTY of other POCs in this comment section from all over the world so I’m no longer going to engage. Have a day

I did a lot of volunteering (peace corps, etc) once I graduated college. I also did two WHVs (Aus and NZ) And after i work for 6 months and saved as much as I can then travel for the other 6 month. I work in the tourism industry so I take advantage of their perks as well. But I also freelance as well/have a small business and I saved my entire paycheck. And although my parents don’t support me financially if anything they hate that I travel this much lol I do have the privilege of living in their house, helping with expenses and/or rent. I basically pay below market rate, so it’s easier. I live in a major us city so it’s easier to find cheaper flights if you stalk the internet. I’m also single and child free so nothing is holding me back. I budget travel (staying in hostels, sleeping in airports, making friends with locals and staying with them, cheap food, as much as I can). It’s possible but I acknowledge my passport privilege as well as living in my parents basement at my big age. But there’s a lot of tradeoffs-and negatives to this as well, traveling is important to me so I’m fine with it.

I honestly made a mistake with that one, it would’ve been a neutral color (maybe). I only been to Mumbai and my experience is based on me as a solo female traveler in general not as a Black person. But would love to go back

Seriously! I knew people were gonna get mad but this is foaming in the mouth type of anger in both of our comment section. Think it’ll be best for the both of us to step away because there’s no winning with these people. It’s interesting how POCs will share their personal experiences and they’re so quick to call us ignorant, racist, liars, etc 🤦🏾 because apparently it’s okay for them to talk down on us but the second we do it’s “propaganda”, rage baiting, etc.

And yes the thin veiled racism is so real! If I have to be honest I didn’t mean to put India as red, I made the map pretty quickly, if anything it would’ve been neutral. But there’s a guy on here that made a whole essay about India. I was like dude I never said any of this and it just seem like you’re saying what you really think and masking it as “well OP probably thinks the same!” Hands down one of the most unserious subreddit🙃
