Despite I live in a free country, where all over the world was stubborn when it comes to racism and hope eventually this will be the end of this time. I often see people becoming more and more aware now.

Because no one want to be confronted or display as a racism and for the one who does that people still live in their own dream world. The fact that I would even say about the extent of our progress proves enough that we are now busy recognizing the inherent humanity and the rights of all people. And that's really great news and we really need to be very proud of it.

Frankly, since I lived here in the Netherlands, I had never really experienced racism.
I was quite popular in the neighborhood and always had many friends and acquaintances around me.
Until I went to high school and then happened to people in my area or with strangers on the street.
Some people are racist, although they do not know they are and some do it too unconsciously, even if they do not mean it!
But when I point out to them.
Then say, “ah no, I don't mean that” and I'm used to called them and they do not mind at all!
The fact is, you are assuming others without asking!
And from my experience, most often I do not want to talked or discuss with that person and walked away from them.

Like this time, my man parked his car and he didn't saw two girls coming in front with her scooter and almost hit them, he open the window and said sorry to the girls but one of the girls said, can you not see "you stupid nigger"! When i hear the words, i said to them, why are you calling him like that, he's already said sorry to you many times and he did not saw you was coming. My husband pulled me away and said Rouer leave them. But those girls started shouting and shouting and we just drove away from the parking area.
I asked my man, why are you driving away and he said to me, honey to discuss with them in the middle of the streets city with two girls and someone may think we harass them and calling the police, it's not worth our day! And what he's saying to me it's true.

Eventually I met my husband in 99th, at the beginning of our relationship it was not really fun.
Because of our different cultures, people found us a separate combination, people look at us separately and wonder why I'm going with a tanned man, why not with my own culture or a Dutchman?
At that time, I had never expected people, how undeveloped some people are.
With which I began to think and realize more and more.
That some people really are ignorant and have to learn and understand a lot about life.
I finally became aware of the time that some people had a different way of thinking than me.
Until you bring a mirror for them or they being through some situation, the person will than be open to other cultures.
Then they begin to understand, the beauty of diversity just like me.
Finally, we are all people who live here on earth.

Me and my man @sinzzer try to deal with each situation in our lives when it comes to racism. More often they are looking at him and not me!
We also discuss together about that a lot, through a good conversation we always come to the same wavelength.
In the relationship is giving and taking and communication plays a major role, it doesn't matter if you are in interracial relationship.
Thus, you need to learn from each other, improve and this makes your relationship band even stronger.
By these situations, you only understand, by opening yourself to the challenge of changing the status and breaking through ideological relationships.
Then you can open yourself to learn about a new perspective.
This gives you the opportunity to see the world from a new angle of view.
