“It involves confronting the structures that continue to perpetuate it at various levels of society,” she told Bored Panda.

The expert says that addressing racism requires more than legislative changes. “On the contrary, the respondents to the survey mention higher levels of racial discrimination in all areas of life.” The report indicates that there has been little to no discerning progress in the fight against discrimination,” Mahmoudi explained. “Despite the launch of the European Anti-Racism Action Plan and the different institutional efforts, ‘Being Black in the EU’ paints a concerning picture. “However, it’s crucial to consider whether these advancements have been translated into a widespread recognition of racism at the European level and particularly at the Member States level,” she added. Mahmoudi is positive about the future, noting that over the past two decades, there have been notable advancements in the legislative framework within the European Union, signaling a commitment to tackling racial discrimination.

It is enough to look at the experience of volleyball player Paola Egonu, footballer Mario Ballotelli or boxer Hassan Nourdine.”

“It permeates multiple areas of life, including public spaces, employment, the higher education system, and even in the world of sports. “Furthermore, racism is not confined to a specific domain,” Mahmoudi continued.

“Right-wing and far-right parties (Lega Nord and Fratelli D’Italia, for example) exploit anti-migrant sentiments to garner support and perpetuate negative stereotypes and misconceptions about migrants.” “One prominent aspect is political scapegoating, where migrants are frequently targeted in political propaganda, especially during electoral campaigns,” she explained. “Racism in Italy is a pervasive and deeply entrenched issue that has significant implications for the lives of many, particularly migrants,” Mahmoudi says, noting that the extent of racism in the country is apparent in various aspects of society.
