I am an African American here (not long term), yet I get the dirtiest looks as if I’m here illegally etc…but when they find out I am American the attitude changes. Shameful.

This is totally off point but what amazes me is that for example when a British man comes to Malta to do a job they usually pay him more because hes ”foreigner” and he must be incredibly tremendous at his job because he is a foreigner and yet probably a Maltese who is just as capable gets paid far less. Malta’s Logic.

What I mean is if a person comes from any part of the world (ANY) gets Maltese citizenship and works, pays taxes and is not sustained by the government thus not depending on the government and taking tax payer’s money will the Maltese people complain? NO.

If people come here legally and do actually contribute to the economy there would be no need for arguments and attacks because it would help this country’s workforce (people above working age and below pensionable age) and help fight against the problem we have in Malta of aging population and lack of workforce not to mention the boost it would give to the Maltese economy.

It would even help (and this is why I am personally bothered with immigration in general) if the immigrants coming inside the country were skilled workers not more unskilled workers because that would form more unemployment but of course this is something that will never happen because of the narrowness of people’s minds and from not only people condemning immigration but also those who approve (this is from my personal point of view if anyone wants to reply please do it in a civil manner).

PS I’m only 16 and whatever I said is just my personal view.

True, boat parties are doing a good job of bringing people together from all races.

Maltese men in general can’t understand why Maltese girls attend these events and to mix with men from different cultures and form relationships. This has a lot to do with why people become racist in Malta.

Mikael, it worries me that somebody with your responsibility cannot see the wood for the trees here.

Firstly, your video is on Youtube and therefore is open for public view, discussion, change of discourse and narrative.

Secondly, please read the headline of this article. It suggests Maltese people welcome Europeans in Malta but not those from Africa.

Nordic pre teens contributing to the wealth of Malta – well, if you notice at 2.14 of your video I can see the Maltese dude making the most of that.

‘The most clever’ – fantastic!

[Daphne – Read back up through the comments and my responses, Martina, and try to understand. I’m sorry, but this isn’t an explanation service for the slow-witted, nor am I a politician who needs your vote, so I’m not going always going to have patience with the sorely testing.]

Well, stereotyping is what they do best. You mention an Italian to them and ‘mafia’ comes to mind.

Of course I’m generalising. I myself worked with Scandinavians for a number of years.

There is nothing to complain about black people taking jobs of the Maltese. Maltese themselves don’t want them, but particular jobs need to be done, so who else is left to do them? For example you see Maltese drivers of the garbage trucks and who is picking up garbage bags you think? 95% of the time I’ve seen its black people. And why complain about people from other EU-countries taking Maltese jobs. Half of the country barely speaks its second national language, English, and some don’t at all. I personally think its a disgrace for an EU-country. Malta is very small, and based on tourism. Who could possibly help out our country to go forward? If not for the foreigners, our country would not be what it is today.

Earlier this month there was a serious discussion about an Institute here on the island. What was that all about? Nobody wants to work, people just care about easy money… (Who doesn’t obviously) but life doesn’t come that easy unfortunately and we all know that. Half the students had failed their exams thanks to such lecturers who are suppose to be academics! Disgracing what should be, British education. Most Maltese people don’t really want to work, so their called lazy people, I’m sorry but its a fact.. and for instance, just look at the working hours of most shops, 2 hour break (where in the world will you find such breaks in Europe? Honestly, I’ve traveled in most of Europe and lived in 3 large countries I have never heard of 2 hour shut-down ..) and the amount of public holidays this island celebrates, it’s good for us, people, however, the economical side to it quite suffers… Not everyone in this country is capable (or willing in the first place) to work in places which require long hours, effort and high educational standards unfortunately..There are other jobs which are suitable for people with different wants, have’s and needs. I love Malta, I’ve been living here for a decade now, but these have been proven facts for a long time. I read the news everyday, Malta complains about wages, working hours, politics etc. and the country in the end remains the same. This is not an issue caused by foreigners, but by the Maltese government. We barely reach the average standard level of an EU-country…. That is why most people would rather employ foreigners who have had additional experience and knowledge back in their hometowns.
This is not meant to be offensive to anybody of course, people know this themselves but have been closing their eyes too much.
