I haven't seen anyone saying anything derogatory about anyone from another country, I've seen people saying they don't want to be bothered with obnoxious behavior, and I agree with that. I don't want to talk to people from Nigeria or India because of how a large majority of them (notice I didn't say ALL OF THEM) act on the forums and because of how rude they are when they send friend requests to people they don't even know, when they send nudges to people they don't even know, and when they send emails that are full of a million vowels and consonants (that I can't even freaking understand) calling me "auntie" and "dear" and other words that are too familiar from one stranger to another.

After a while, it becomes a form of harassment. I've considered leaving this site several times because I'm tired of being harassed; yeah it's easy to delete, block or ignore a friend request, an email or a nudge, but it shouldn't be an issue, once I deleted and blocked 3 friend requests from those countries in a span of 10 minutes, that's ridiculous. I haven't experienced the same behavior from Americans, so I have no problem with Americans, I have a problem with a group of people who don't seem to know how to be respectful to others.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to interact with someone from another country or another culture, but you should treat people with respect. There is nothing respectful about making sexual comments, repeatedly nudging people who have ignored you and basically acting in a juvenile, rude way. That is how biases against other cultures start, you see enough rude behavior exhibited by a large group of people from one culture/country and you don't want to be bothered with them. So I get why this thread was started- out of frustration and a need to connect with others who might feel the same way. I don't see this as racist or elitist or anything, I just see a group of people venting about being bothered. If not wanting to be bothered makes me prejudiced, color me prejudiced.


well said
