Common misconceptions and clichés about life in Cyprus

Before I moved to Cyprus I thought it was just like any other developed European country where there is equal respect for everyone, irrespective of color and nationality. But as soon as I landed at the airport I observed something is not right. I have lived in Cyprus for two and a half years but still felt like a total stranger. Cypriots are very racist and very impolite. They have no respect for any other nationality. They hate blacks and will not want to do anything with blacks. I think Cyprus is the most racist country I have ever lived in, the most racist country in the whole of Europe. I will not advise any black person to visit that country.

@Ampadu Hello,

As someone who has been to the country multiple times, I can whole heartily tell yo that this is not true. I think that you ended up in rough side of the country and maybe you did not have some good experiences but this is not a reason to stereotype the whole nation after one bad experience. Going forwards I hope you learn the culture of the country and have been to multiple parts of the country so that you have a bigger sample size to make your judgements and then proceeding to mislead the community about your experiences. I hope you have a wonderful day.
