I love your perspective, Rebecca, because it’s different from a lot of the stories about race on this platform. Many Americans like to believe that racism barely exists in Europe, but that’s simply not true, as you so ably point out.

I’m going to be visiting friends in Switzerland in a few weeks. I’ve been there a few times and it’s always a learning experience. It would be great to get together for drinks with you sometime. It will be a short trip and I’ll only be in Zurich and the Bernese Oberland, but if there’s any chance we can get together, let me know. My email is alamedans@gmail.com. In any case, I love your writing and wish you all the best.
