Hi I’m from Europe and unfortunately in the past few years I realized how much racism there is in the world which really messes up my mind since that concept didn’t exist for me as a kid and I thought it’s normal that people look different.

Having very pale skin and not having visited too many countries I was wondering if I might encounter any problems in America because of my skin. Can I just talk to anyone or will people reject me because of my skin? (I have blond hair too)

    Depends on where you go, really. Generally if you stick to cities and tourist areas you’ll be fine. But if you want to wander into small towns….

      No, it’s a small enough problem everywhere in the US that putting any real thought into “will people reject me because of my skin” (as OP asks) is overthinking it.
