True or False All Moroccans are racist?


A Moroccan recently told me this. Please give your answer along with any commentary to back up your point. I already know what I think but would like to see what others think. Thanks.

Little J...KSA and Morocco are worlds apart in many ways.

The Moroccan that told you that is either ignorant of his/her own people or trying to make you scared or something. My neighbors are black, I am berber and i've never experienced any kind of racism here. and ive never seen anybody here being treated different because they have different racial background or even national background. So dont believe everything that people tell you!!

The answer is False.
As we all know racism is not just name calling, racism is violence racial prejudice and of course oppression, we have none of that, when i call my black friend "black" or "Azzy" and he called me back "doukalli" or "O'robby"(countryman) i view that as friendly affection as he does exactly, we never heard in morocco that someone was refused service in a restaurant because of his color or background, we never heard someone got jailed or tortured because he was Berber or Arab, we certainly never heard anyone who was stopped from sitting in a front seat of a bus and pushed back because he was "Fassi".

--------------------------------------...
@Little J : let me finish your comment based on your statement; moroccans are arabs, arabs are human therefore all humans are racist. :)

It not true ofcaurse, are you fingers the same?

Racism exists all over the world. I believe that Moroccans are more tolerant than most because they experience racism first hand. When I lived in France and Belgium I was shocked by how many educated people would say I'm not racist I just don't like anyone in my country unless they're French/Belge.

False. I met many Moroccans during my visit to Morocco and none of them treated me any differently. Many approaced me and my fiance just so they could practice their English with me. Everyone I met welcomed me to Morocco. In fact I didn't see any bigotry from any Moroccans. That is one of the reasons I would love to live there, because from what I've seen they accept everybody.

LOL NO WAY! Morocco is a very diverse and wonderful country made up of several different nationalities. There are French, Spanish, Berber, Moroccan, Arab etc... there. There's every skin tone imaginable and LOTS of red hair. I never experienced or witnessed racism in my time there. I am afraid of when my husband comes here and how shocked and disappointed he will be to see how people in a 'modern country ' like the US treat one another.

Aaahhh False. 'All' of any group of people is so encompassing it just isn't a fair term to use.
I have been married to a Moroccan for 7 years and living in Morocco for 3 years. I have not met one Moroccan who I think to be a racist. Little J's comment about hating black people is silly since there are Moroccans who are black. As I sit in my house at this very minute a dear friend, a Moroccan black woman is sleeping in my spare bedroom.
Like Mormex said I've never heard of any race of person being pushed to the back of the bus, not allowed in a restaurant or any establishment, no race as less rights here.
Anyone who would compare KSA to Morocco isn't seeing straight.

False. I have met only one family in morocco and they are not racist. so this must be a false statement. :)

Do you seriously believe that EVERY SINGLE Moroccan is racist?
No Moroccans are not all racist.
There are racist people everywhere.
From your previous questions ex: "Why do guys not like Moroccan girls", your friends seem to give you a wrong perspective about Moroccans in general.
So I would like to clarify that no, not all Moroccans are racist, and no, not all moroccan girls are materialistic.
People are making horrible generalizations
I would like to know what you think?

In every country across the world there are some people who are racist n every Moroccan I've met were really nice.

Nonsense!!!

racism cannot be generalised. You have to know that every country and every ethbic group racism exist on different individual. Its not possible that evry body in the population could just become a hater of other. That(s sick

false false false false false!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
noway!
it's crazy ppl,genralize everything
impossible morrocan ppl are so friendly and lovely our neighbours our brothers our friends i just feel im part ofem i belong to morroco as i belong to algeria and to all arabic countries noway who said that

the short answer is false, the hospitality in Morocco is very high, Moroccans love any foreign people, even you are just from another city, they just love to see new faces and new things.

No, not ALL Moroccans are racist. In fact I have Moroccan friends and they are some of the best friends I have.
We are from different cultures and they have never had a problem with me or any other race that I have noticed. They are tolerant and fun to be with.
