    Racism in Travels

    Racism is probably the last thing we want to think about when traveling but it can happen. When it comes to traveling, no one, not even the privileged who have never once had to experience racism in their cushy home countries are immune to it. It can be a rude awakening for the privileged yet for many people of color, it’s something that is often pondered about before something as simple as moving to another state (or city, even) can be done. Fortunately, traveling doesn’t require you to settle down, so you can often just experience any racism that you encounter and depart to a better place, hopefully.
