Indians face subtle racism in the Baltic States—here’s how to prepare

A user has reported encountering 'a little racism' while visiting the Baltic States, sparking discussions and recommendations for Indians planning to study or work there. The user's experience, along with a Native American priest's account of racism in Latvia, has raised awareness among Indians interested in the Baltic region. Online platforms like Reddit are buzzing with discussions between Indians and Pakistanis sharing their concerns and experiences. To navigate potential challenges, Indians are advised to seek guidance from various sources. Indian embassies and consulates, along with international offices at national and Baltic universities, can provide valuable insights. The European Union's support services and migration or education authorities in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are also recommended points of contact. While the Baltic States offer opportunities for study and work, it's crucial for Indians to be aware of potential racial biases. Seeking advice from official channels can help navigate these challenges and ensure a safer and more informed experience.
