Being Black in Almaty Kazakhstan. The Truth!
Francois Marc walks around Almaty, Kazakhstan and interviews people about how it is to be Black in Kazakhstan. Many Black or African Americans ask me if it is okay and safe for Black Americas to travel to Almaty Kazakhstan. As I speak to many Kazakh people about this topic, I hope this video can offer some details and insight for Black Americans looking for information about traveling to Almaty Kazakhstan.
If you are thinking of coming to Almaty Kazakhstan, then think no longer and come! There are amazing things to do in a country that is full of good food, friendly people, and amazing sites, even on the city streets of Almaty. You won't be disappointed if you come to Almaty, Kazakhstan!

I feel like the reason people are chill here regarding race is also because compared to East Asian countries, kazakhs don’t suffer much from colorism. There are light skin toned kazakhs and dark skin toned kazakhs and society accepts both as beautiful, you won’t find skin-bleaching creams like you would in South Korea, China, Thailand etc.

@ubushaevagulsagi8374 14 дней назад

there is still some colorism in Kazakhstan but it doesn’t affect your life to the point of making it harder. Luckily it is dying out bcs colorism is mostly is uplifted by older people and younger ones doesn’t care about it

Being a Kazakh, for the first time when I started studying English I looked at the foreign world. We grew up among many nationalities and completely different religions, they all respect each other, but when I found out in America or Europe there are such barriers, it was a shock for me and they sometimes ask Is it because I’m black then, I’m like, What does this mean? because we are all human 🧐🙃

@francoismarc3 10 дней назад

Unfortunately, the pseudoscience concept of race originated in Europe and was transferred to the US. The topics of race, racism, and color discrimination are always headlines in the US. I also believe humans are just humans, but part of being human is finding something, anything to discriminate against. Thanks for the comment.

I would love to go to Kazakhstan after watching this video Francois. It really seems like a very hospitable and beautiful country like you said. From what I learned from my friend from Uzbekistan, he said Kazakhstan people are a very diverse group of people with many different ethnic groups with a variety of European and East Asian features. Even mixed with Mongol tribes, Uralic, and Iranian people. That is why many Kazakhs look "Asians" I guess!! Lastly, I am also from Atlanta Francois. I used to live close to Emory University in DeKalb County and often went to Buckhead Lenox Square Shopping Mall a lot. I am sure you have been there too. I miss Atlanta very much, especially the Southern hospitality and vibe. The autumn weather is so beautiful in Atlanta with leaves changing colors. Do you miss Atlanta too? Enjoy your stay in Kazakhstan and job well done with this video brother!!

Heeeey, thanks for taking time to wite this message! I do miss Atlanta, sometimes, but not the summer humidity lol. I have been to the places you mentioned:) Kazakhstan really stole my heart.

@francoismarc3 16 дней назад

Aye, B, thanks so much! I'm happy to see a friendly face here. Some of these comments are wild... I'm just trying to paint the image of Kazakhstan being a welcoming place where anyone, but especially African Americans who don't travel much out of fear of the unknown, can feel at peace. I am indeed a humanist...which is far less than I can say for some of these comments. Never seen this before. I'll keep it going, brotha!! Waiting in your next video....its been a while!

@Ahmed-iam 16 дней назад

@Jitterbug360 I am Kazakh and I think it all depends on what you wanna see and maybe contact local guides beforehand. I mean the south is very interesting too very different from Almaty. Way more family oriented and traditional. This is why they are even more hospitable. The newly rebuilt ancient city of Turkestan is worth a visit. It has a mausoleum of sufi Khoja Yassawi. Many Kazakh Khans are buried there. Shymkent, there is places around the region to visit like Aqmeshit. In Mangystay region there is white mountains and the sea. There is a mosque in a cave. There is a channel called Alkettik where the guy visits Kazakhstan's different regions. Not that he covers everything of course. You can inquire, search and investigate.

If you think that Almaty is green now, you should’ve seen it many years ago. The city was known as a garden city. Many parks were cut down, and replaced by high rise buildings.

To be honest, we are less tolerant than Europeans, so if people start facing bad behaviour from any group of foreigners your ass gonna be kick badly. You can check latest situation in Kyrgyzstan, where some Egyptian students had a fight with Kyrgyz boy, and all look a like students from Pakistan and India get pressured. I remember same with Indian workers in Astana, when they beat up some security guy and half of the city was redy to handle all of them, even if it was only 4 of them who did shit stuff. Kindness comes from strength, always remember that.

@@francoismarc3 The Kazakhs have one big drawback. This is great hospitality and patience. Many people take this for weakness, but this is far from true. As long as guests behave within the framework of generally accepted decency, there will be no problems. This is just for information. It’s better to ask your blackskin friend, who already lives in Almaty, in more detail about the mentality of the Kazakhs. We are not Europeans, but we are not classic Asians either. We are something in the middle with our unique culture, a people formed at the crossroads of different cultures. There must be an understanding that a peaceful and tolerant people could not have a state occupying the 9th largest territory in the world.

Myself I'm kazakh but I was raised by russian and german teachers. My friends are uzbeks, russians, tajiks, germans, greeks and many other nationalites as I grew up. Never we called each othet as white or black or yellow. I think color theme is unique to USA. Some days ago I was watching Trump after his assasination attmpt and reporter invited some Hispanic woman. The reporter call that woman mentioning her ethnicity. For that's weird. We will not mention nationality or ethnicity like - here we have Uzbek Mr X or any orther nationality.

Kazakhstan has a very huge history of being colonized and oppressed by the Russian government, most than a half of our population has died out of man made famine during those times, all the elite was sent to gulags and our land was used as polygons like Semey and etc. that’s why in that time Kazakhs were minorities on our own land. But we are getting it back, this year Kazakhs officially got more than 71% of the Kazakhstan population and now we are considered to be monoethnic country not multiethnic. Part of that history still shows why we are so against “only russian” menus and places in here

Умник, прочитай что такое колонизация! Вот сейчас Казахстан как раз находится в колониальной зависимости от западных стран и США. 80% нефти, газа и других полезных ископаемых каждый день извлекаются из недр нашей земли и уходят в метрополию. А нам достается лишь малая часть. Мы - независимая страна, в том смысле что от нас ничего не зависит в мировой политике. Как скажет Запад и США, так и делают. Колонизатор не обучает неграмотное население вплоть до ликвидации безграмотности, не строит школы, больницы, дороги, коммуникации, заводы и фабрики. Что касается касается полигона - если б не он, то тебя бы сейчас не было, так как правительство уважаемого автора видео скинуло бы на нас без зазрения совести свои бомбы, как сделало это с Японией.
