I’m from the UK, and I had a friend that had a really interesting perspective , she was born and raised in Spain to Ghanaian parents. Growing up as a Black girl in Spain, she explained that there was a certain “acceptable” type of Blackness — often lighter skin, mixed-race features, or a look that fit Eurocentric beauty standards. Dark-skinned Black girls with natural hair were treated differently and often faced more prejudice. She also spoke about being hypersexualised from a young age. Around 13–15, she would get strange looks from men, cars would stop asking if she was “working” or offering money, as if being a young Black girl automatically meant she was a sex worker. The stereotype that immigrants come to Europe for prostitution affected her, even though she was literally born and raised in Spain. She talked about bullying too — even from Black boys — where her hair and features were picked apart. It was like being Black wasn’t enough; you had to fit a certain standard: not too dark, not too curvy, the “right” nose, the “right” hair, the “right” kind of Black. Her mum always told her that appearance mattered because being Black in Spain could already make life harder, and not putting effort into how you present yourself could bring even more judgement. She said sometimes it felt safer to be seen as a tourist than as a local Black person. She also highlighted how racism and colourism can exist within communities, including how some Spanish people may rank people from different Latin American backgrounds based on where they come from and how close they are perceived to whiteness. Her story really shows how complicated identity, race, colourism and beauty standards can be in different countries.

I’ve been living in Spain since 2023, and honestly, I haven’t experienced any of the things you mentioned. Maybe we should just focus on living life as humans without always expecting the negative side of things. I’ve met some genuinely kind Spanish people and haven’t experienced racism so far. Perhaps I’m just fortunate, or maybe it hasn’t happened to me yet, but my experience has been a positive one.

Amo a mi quería España, pero negar el racismo no es la solución. Juan o Julia no pueden venir a decirle a una persona negra o extranjera que el racismo no existe cuando tienen el privilegio de no sufrirlo. Cuando os apuntéis a ofertas de trabajo y os descarten por vuestro nombre o aspecto, cuando busquéis piso y os cierren la puerta por ser extranjeros, o cuando vayáis a una administración pública y os falten al respeto por vuestro origen, entonces podremos debatir en igualdad de condiciones sobre si existe o no el racismo en España. Y hay que entender algo básico: para que un país tenga problemas de racismo no hace falta que el 100% de sus habitantes sean racistas. Basta con que esas conductas existan y afecten a miles de personas cada día. Negarlo no ayuda; reconocerlo es el primer paso para solucionarlo😉👍🏿
