Pensieri? opinioni? Come studente internazionale che si trasferisce a Riga questa assunzione di settembre, purtroppo questo mi spaventa un po ‘, è una cosa comune? Mi sento estremamente scoraggiato perché ero entusiasta di sperimentare qualcosa di nuovo e diverso e non vedo l’ora, ma ora io e la mia famiglia siamo preoccupati per la mia sicurezza. Soprattutto il fatto che nessuno si è preoccupato di aiutare la persona si disturba.
Modificare: Capisco che alcuni di voi ritengono che questo post manchi di pieno contesto e apprezzo quelle prospettive. Voglio essere chiaro: lo sono non Rabbia o tentare di suscitare drammi inutili. Ammetto pienamente di non conoscere l’intero background di questo specifico incidente, ecco perché l’ho pubblicato qui per una discussione aperta.
Come qualcuno che ha studiato la vita in Lettonia per mesi (attraverso forum, notizie, social media, Reddit, gruppi di espatriati, ecc.), Mi sono imbattuto in più rapporti e resoconti personali di studenti e lavoratori internazionali, in particolare le persone marroni e dell’Asia meridionale, vivendo molestie o sentendosi sgradevoli. So che non lo è tutti E che molti locali sono gentili, ma è qualcosa di cui io e altri che ci muovono qui.
Ad esempio, ho letto di:
- https://eng.lsm.lv/article/society/crime/12.08.2024-racist-attacks-on-deleivery-drivers-more-common-than-they-seem-say-police.A564677/
- https://eng.lsm.lv/article/society/crime/03.02.2024-indian-businessman-hospitalised-by-suspected-racist-attack-in-riga.a541494/
Il mio post originale proveniva da un luogo di ricerca di rassicurazione e comprensione, non di accusa. Spero che la gente del posto possa apprezzare perché gli studenti in arrivo come me vorrebbero capire sia le parti buone che quelle cattive prima di trasferirsi.
Grazie a coloro che hanno condiviso risposte costruttive. Apprezzo il dialogo.

“As an international student” Did you mean food courier?
I think UK, Germany or Sweden would be a better destination if you are so scared. They are much more multicultural and accepting of brown people.
If you are not white, you will have difficulties in everyday life. From renting an apartment to being treated disrespectfully daily. If someone says otherwise, they are lying.
Need context, from this video alone we can only draw conclusion that one dumbass got angry at food courier for no reason, a nd if it’s so then he should be punished. But I would never draw any conclusions from one sided footage, need to know exactly why this happened. Did they have previous encounter, did they know each other… I never saw such things live so can’t comment on how often this happens, but if this would be common then we would have tons of footage and judging that I didn’t see any then probably this is exception. But again, context matters, and you already drawn that this is racist attack – why?
I wouldn’t assume it was necessarily racist. Some people are simply aggressive regardless of who is in front of them.
should be a common thing
Certainly hard to comment without the context.
If the guy just casually attacks anyone of other race unprovoked, he will have to do a lot of fighting, since there are a lot of foreigners, especially in Riga.
I don’t know a lot of such cases, but I won’t say it’s impossible. You will encounter casual racism in any place in the world.
And these people wouldn’t have helped if they were both white. Latvians are generally reserved and don’t like to be bothered unless something extreme is happening.
he is just brain dead
Latvia is in early stages of becoming a multicultural society. Like in less than 10 years ago it would be a surprise to meet any person of colour on the street. Yes, right now we have a lot of international residents, but their integration to the local society isn`t going well. I would say it about equal how unsafe locals feel about international residents and how unsafe international residents feel about locals
Do you have more info? Hard to draw any conclusions based on this video alone
Sound like there was something with the bag
Not sure if this is race related
Don’t make it appear as if Latvians are at fault. You are not doing a good job.
We have been living with such russian abusers for 90 years now.
Why seeing the world in black and white?
We, Latvians, have been suffering from such attacks of russians towards us for years.
Kas ir pēdējās dienas ar tiem konkrētas nācijas postiem
Looks and sounds like he’s drunk, he even spoke in a very high pitched tone. Drunks are drunks, but we’re one of the most racist parts of Europe, but that racism is mostly in terms of us voting and speaking, not punching people for existing.
Looks like rage-bait post by noname account.
If you are a female student, you are going to be fine, don’t you worry. I think what worries us are specific male workers or passport bros that come to this country to use benefits, objectify women, do shady stuff behind the counters. There’s literally nothing deeper. I have spoken to female students from India and even they say to stay away from such individuals. 🙂
Look, I’m not saying that racism is not a problem in Latvia, but if a video of one incident is what made you reconsoder then any predominately white country is off limits for you.
Its just some some dumb, might intoxicated dude. Even I who was born and raised here, has had the misfortune seeing these type of people.
I am curious as to how you came into possession of this material, as it appears to be from indoors camera and the restaurants/bistros usually do not leak/disclose such records. In any case, I suggest forwarding this information to the State Police.
It could have happened to anyone. You will encounter such people sometimes. When I was younger had x3 such situations.
I would say, 70% because durnktard and 30% racist.
White lad is obviously drunk, and some, often insecure, drunk people try to fight other people, especially ones they think are weaker than them. Racism? Maybe a tang of it, but more realistically just an unhappy person taking it out on the first person to look at them in a wrong way.
Alcoholism is a problem around these parts, so if ya do come here – go easy on the Hektors, and give a wide berth to drunk people you don’t know.
