Why some people are trying to cover the truth and what's going on if you don't believe it then you don't live in Egypt and you're Egyptian who's trying to cover things up..

Television is a commercial indemnity which like any other profitable commercial business gives people what it wants to see. In other words, News Reports and Television producers will sell their soul for a quick buck.
So do not believe everything you see or read, it will be bias.

This is the first time I see this kind of comment about Egyptians! Egypt is one of the most tolerant countries in the world, especially regarding skin colour, as most Egyptians' skin tones vary from pale white to dark mahogany. The country's most revered president, Anwar El Sadat, had very dark skin. Skin colour has never been, and will never be, an issue.
Regarding the Sudanese minority in Egypt, it's well-known that they've always been able to integrate very well into society. They're able to work and live side by side with Egyptians without facing any kind of discrimination. I used to work in a recruitment agency and I remember having a Sudanese applicant whose CV was always sent to the best clients because of her excellent qualifications.

Its sad but there is discrimination all over the world.In Australia we have had it against Europeans ,in the 50s Russian,and eastern block countries in the 60s, Asians in the 70s & 80s and now it seems to be the Middle Easts turn. Especially if you are muslim. All that time there has still been awful discrimination against our aboriginal race . Guess its part of human nature based on fear of the unknown.But to be truthful I find the Egyptian people very accepting of other cultures.None of my Egyptian friends have ever mentioned it as a problem, or something they think about. first I knew about was when I was held up in traffic because of a demonstration in Cairo by Sudanese refugees.

funny thing.. ive been living in egypt for 21 years, and i have NEVER EVER seen an egyptian treating a sudanese badly..
even when the sudanese refugees camped in the middle of the streets in egypt, we were trying to help them and we were against the government and police for not helping them!
so, define what u mean by racist again, plz?

I am Egyptian.Some of my best friends are Sudanese. I am not denying what you said but u need to invesitigate more beneath the surface of things.
I would love for you to highlight the things that you don't like in Egypt. This is if your intention is to correct these things as someone who loves the country. However, if your intention is to spread hatred, then take your hatred and go away.
Egypt is not the country of angels. We would love to have nice and understanding help and advice from other people , but they have to decide what side they are on.

Are Sudanese treated like humans in their own country??? This has nothing to do with racism. It is purely a political agenda. If someone calls you a name that does not make all his race bigots. On the other hand if 100 or 1000 call you a name then start looking at yourself and ask yourself "what did I do to make them disrespect me". They may have a problem but It is your responsibility to acclaim the respect you deserve....

Turn on your television and wake up! Check out the news. Racism isn't Solely practiced by Egyptians. Every culture and race are guilty of the same. It is a sick disease that has plagued the world since time before history. In this century, there shouldn't be such a thing and we should all do our parts to eliminate it.

Not true ... I visited Egypt more than once and I spent months there and in Egypt there is no any kind of racism ... Egyptians are good and working well with their guests . You may be understood things wrong about the Egyptians because Egyptians loved jokes with the others , but does not mean abused .

I have been to Egypt at least 10 times. I have not seen anything that you describe. Egyptians are the biggest-hearted people in the world. I love Egypt. I have many wonderful friends there who would do anything for me. They do not care about the color of your skin or your religion. Did you know that many, many Jews live there??

DEAR, I AM AN EGYPTIAN AND LOVE SUDAN AND ITS POPULATION JUST LIKE MYSELF AND WISH SUDAN ALL THE GOOD. AND I THINK DISCRIMINATION IS AN EVIL ACT AND ONLY A STRONG HUMAN CAN UNDERSTAND THAT DIFFERENCE IN COLOR OR OPINION OR WHATEVER MUST NOT ALLOW YOU TO HATE THE OTHERS.
