      people will probably stare, ask to take photos with you (or just take voyeur photos of you from a distance), possibly even touch your hair without permission if it's 4c or something but you will almost certainly never get hate crimed, never get verbally abused, visibly looked at with disgust, etc.

      so no racism but your expectations of personal space will be different because you may be the first black person some of them have ever seen. but generally only older folks do this. younger adults, especially in urban centres will be much more respectful
