If someone from Dominican Republic, who is a mix (white and black) has an opportunity to conduct research work in Spain, Barcelona, for a couple of years should they take it? What is the attitude towards DR people in Barcelona? I've read several posts about racism in Spain so I am just wondering.

but you have to understand they are still BL to them white people do not care that a black person can speak their language i mean racism is not dead it will never die that is why i woke up a long time ago i have heard of white latin americans going to spain with no problems why can't the same go for the blacks

I'm not from Spain but i've been there and there are Black people living there (mostly African immigrants) and i didn't notice any racism towards them. They do complain about Latinos immigrating there though but to be honest people from all over Europe complain about immigration lol so it's one of those things you can't get away from, there is no point in missing a good opportunity over it.

Not very positive, I heard. I have some spanish friend and I would said that racism in Spain today is surely not as bad as it was in the USA in the 60'-70's. So, it nothing that should intimidate anyone. There are people that are prejudiced and some other are friendly and well-minded. If you are looking to do research, go for it. I now of many blacks that graduated from prominent Spanish universities before ( and even without being humiliated in the process).

Well I'm a White Dominican and people made fun of my accent and slang when I went to university there. There the Spanish is so pure they look down on changes to it. But you are a mulato so youll face racial slurs, probably violence, especially after football games and holidays. So never go on the subway around that time. People telling you it isnt racists are those who never been there. Like A lot of Americans think Europe is some big socialists continent where there is racial harmony and everyone is atheists LOL, but if they ever came there they would be really shocked. Remember Spain was the last Fascist country.
