So yes, we're bad here and should aim higher but it's actually worse in other places. In Cyprus I probably would have committed suicide by now because of the extreme sexism. There are times I am banned from speaking. I chose to settle in the UK for a reason.

I grew up in a very left city full of immigrants and while racism and sexism is still a problem here, it was a lot less pronounced from my viewpoint than what I experienced in England, but you’re right, there are much worse places for other people to live in.

To be fair we have white skin so everywhere we go we will face only a small percent (even zero) racism so sometimes our personal experiences aren't indicative.

Definitely, if I’ll ever leave the country again I’ll be one of the “good” immigrants bc of the colour of my skin, level of education and employment, etc. it’s not comparable to the experiences of others.

Colourism is a terrible drug.
