Lasizwe Dambuza narrates how he got racially profiled in Spain.
The South African star traveled to Spain days ago, and he totally had a swell time as seen in photos and videos shared, though some officers tried tainting his joy with racist behaviour.
“So I got racially profiled. The police in Spain stopped me inside the airport and asked for my passport then they told me to wear my mask (bare in mind it’s not mandatory in Spain to wear masks anymore except for when you are in a public transport)”
“They told me if they catch me without a mask at the airport they were going to arrest me or fine me when I looked around at the airport NO ONE WAS WEARING MASKS (also bare in mind it’s just white people here. Black people are a 1:1000 scale here) after the security check point.”
“I said fvck it I removed my mask and made friends to just move around with them… I felt like they targeted me because I was alone, young and black. This was a very wild experience still trying to process it.”
Sorry that you have to experience such a horrible treatment from those police officers, after having a great time there
