Mixed couple in Dubai treated appallingly

[monome]

A mixed couple friends of mine (brown guy punjabi parents, white girl geordie parents) recently went on holiday to trinidad and/or tobago. They said it was an amazing place to go as a mixed couple.
They were both amazed at how integrated the people there of Indian origin are compared to england. They said it made them feel really good how accepted they were, no1 stared or showed any animosity and there were plenty of mixed couples, both white and brown and black and brown?!

They highly reccomend it as a holiday destination both for climate and sociologically reasons, I wonder if their level of integration would ever be seen over here?

There is a programme on TV this eve ...on french news of japanese/congolese mix people who live in the congo....the story is.... that they have come out about Japenese men who worked in the congo in the 1970's , who had mixed race children with congolese women..apparently the japanese killed many of these babies because ? the story goes that having mixed children was not acceptable to japenese men.

I think it pure racism. Japanese/congolese men and women who call themselves survivors of this horrendous act are now speaking out about the terrible things that they faced and the babies lost at this time. They were denied birth cerificates and hospitals had no records of their births.

This is terrible. that our world holds cuch terrible prejudices towards humankind.
I know its not related to the story below...but in a way it is...prejudices in other countries.
