I’m a Spanish person living in the Netherlands for already almost 9 years. In one hand at some point in these last years, I started to feel like I don’t belong in Spain anymore, and on the other hand, I think I’ll never feel fully integrated in NL. Any thoughts? Advice? Someone feeling the same?

    I’m black. Enough said. LoL. I don’t have a country.

    Black American - Dont belong in America. Don’t belong in Africa. Don’t belong in Europe. Don’t belong in the Caribbean. And Asia??? LMAO!

    I think only France wants me… and that I don’t get.

    Edit: I’m also a black nerd on top of that. So fun times.

      You’d be surprised … there are bigots everywhere but I have found multiple people in my travels that find black American culture fascinating. It’s something that the average European has no exposure to so they find it “exotic”

    • Do you live in a very white area?

      Because it seems like the Black people here in Philly are just chillin’. I mean like… I feel like they “fit in” more than Asian Americans “fit in”…

      There are Black people all over Philly, but in contrast, in some areas, I felt like I was the only person with an East Asian face…
