So I wonder how much prejudice would end if people could make at least one trip somewhere else, out side of their country?

The only way this comic is accurate, is if you read it backwards.

Did anyone else notice his gun collection disappeared off his cabinet? I found guns more cool, after learning about the culture they're from

Now reverse it.
StTriniansHeadBoy
India, Japan, Brazil, the Middle East, China, then Africa...that's not a well-planned route at all.

i dislike how this comic makes it seem like guns are a bad thing by having them on the shelf with Nazi shit and then removing them

Ok what the hell is with those kids playing soccer they look 35 with those chins

Travelling abroad made me love just about everyone but the English.

There is a version of this edited to occur in reverse. See the world, become racist.
Numnex
There's also one which is about multiculturalism, where everywhere is the same and he stays racist

You fools! Now he knows everyone's ways, he'll be unstoppable!
ThePakistallion
Yes. So well said. Thanks @OP.
undeadkitty
Super liberal when I was younger and traveled the world now more conservative now. So yes travel but it's going to have the opposite effect
Aaron42J
What happened suring travel to make you more conservative? Because lots of people grow more conservative with age.
stagg572
This happens way more than people realize. They just don't talk about it.
StTriniansHeadBoy
Someone should re-arrange the panels so that a kindly old man enjoys a trip round the world until India makes him racist.
vauhtihirmu
Second comment hating on India on this post. Did imgur take an unsuccessful trip there recently?
StTriniansHeadBoy
I'm not hating on anything. He's smiling in all the other pictures so you can't make a narrative of him getting progressively more racist.
NewtonScamander
yup - because the world is different - if everywhere looks the same traveling will stop being a thing
assissantmanager
Very cool op
Bogart99
Yeah because only white men can be racist... btw this is an example of the bigotry of low expectations, the people are stereotypes.
TheEvilSpy
I've seen this comic a couple times and only just realised hardly anyone actually opened their eyes
vauhtihirmu
Pretty ironic now that you mention it.
FrostytheSnowcolt
A man realizes the folly of racism after traveling the world and discovering that every single racial stereotype is true. Fucking lel
GomuGomuNope
Yes, yes, this is nice and all, but surely he realizes Japanese swords should be kept edge-up to prevent damage.
ThatOneGuyOP
Sooooo be a complete dick bag and get all expenses paid on world travel? Sign me the fuck up!
SnartHelg
No, you have to be a Klansman, too. I suggest you buy in early June, because that's when last year's hoods go on clearance.

I'm still waiting for this ticket. Well if it's not coming, I always have the other ticket to hell.

Travel doesn't broaden the mind everywhere. I've been treated poorly as a tourist in some places.
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
Yeah, but Brazilian Ass will broaden the mind

Are you fat and wear a fanny pack?
SarcasticComment
Bound to happen. I also avoid people who approach me in the street because to my experience this only happens when people want something
CanadianLadyMoose
I was called a whore in at least 4 languages outside the Vatican because I didn't want to buy any tours. It was a hilarious experience!
CanadianLadyMoose
Even the bad stuff can be good if you learn to see things in the right light.
Zokathra
Where you wearing the whore uniform?
CanadianLadyMoose
Both my shoulders AND knees were exposed in the +40 Celsius heat. I was practically naked! hahahah
Liquidbullets
Yeah. Visiting some places tends to take open minded people and make them more racist. India for example.
vauhtihirmu
I think people are wholly responsible on if they come out of an experience more racist than before, they still have to assume that the (1)
vauhtihirmu
bad experiences were because of inherent properties of the other people and not due to circumstances. (2/2)
NotWrenP
You take the good with the bad. Hopefully the good experiences are more memorable then the bad.
Zokathra
In some countries the places were nice but the people were worst.
LurkerOfDarkness
Examples please.
SarcasticComment
Friend said this about Egypt. I had highs and lows during my 1 year in Korea which is more than enough time to remove the tourist goggles
SightlierGravy
Paris is a pretty mixed bag. I like France in general but all my negative experiences were in Paris.
LurkerOfDarkness
Aside from a pickpocket, which I caught, I've only had the inconvenience of their reluctance to speak other languages.
Zokathra
Almost any place too touristy. People act just nice for your money.
SarcasticComment
Thailand. While the country is beautiful, you are treated like a cash machine in Southern Thailand
CanadianLadyMoose
But that's why they have tourism, it's an industry you buy into. Did that really surprise you? Dodging scammers is half the fun!
vauhtihirmu
I have to point out: Travel is fatal to prejudices only if you're the kind of person who likes to interact with strangers. You can (1)
vauhtihirmu
go to any country, stay at a hotel, only interact in shops and restaurants, and still keep your prejudices intact if you don't really (2)
vauhtihirmu
talk to the people there. (3/3)
YouCheckedTheUsernameHaveACookie
It's true. My grandfather worked for Pan Am so my dad got to travel, but he hated it and is now the most racist asshole you'll ever meet.

Don't remind me of those fools.
NotABadLookingNarcissist
I was thinking of all of the travel stories I've heard that MADE people racist, or at least confirmed stereotypes. Uplifting comic still tho
bart2pl
traveling can also reinforce prejudices if you just so happen to meet wrong kind of people ... or you ill actively earch
bart2pl
for thing to confirm your prejudice
dvapop
This was a really positive message.
GeminiMithuna
In reverse, you'll see a decent guy ruined by air travel. Fuckin United. Smh.
FrostytheSnowcolt
That a man realizes the folly of racism after traveling the world and discovering that every single racial stereotype is true?

It's always odd seeing a positive Twain quote. His most famous ones are pretty damn snarky.

Sad one really. A good white American was brain washed by foreign culture.

Look at all those stolen foreign items. It's cultural appropriation I tells ya!
RandoCalrizzian
So this is uplifting and all ... but someone at Buzzfeed is going to yell at him in that last panel for cultural appropriation.
DoctorSpaceDog
Zen Pencils is racist tho. he draws foreign people like the small world ride at disney world and jerks off to >muh oriental wisdom and shit
RandoCalrizzian
aaaaaaaaaaaaand ... I called it.
DoctorSpaceDog
What? If anything you'd think buzzfeed would like this, since it's shallow clickbait material for stupid people.
Imnotsuprised
Yes, this comic about accepting other races is racist. Thank you
DoctorSpaceDog
What a dumb way to look at it. The overt message is anti-racist but ZP has a cartoonish approach to racism that ends up being racist itself.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Or you're going to do it for them. This is the world now, if it's not SJW bitching, the anti-SJW gladly do it instead and blame the SJW.
SarcasticComment
They are free to tell, you are free to ignore their stupidity
kapp70
I've already reported this comic to the appropriate tumblr sjw authorities.
CalmYourDrosophila
If cultural appropriation is so common in white culture it must be part of that culture which means that attacking us for it is racist!
Draevan13
It's finally come full circle XD
ForTheSwarm
By that logic, attacking for cultural appropriation is cultural so attacking it for attacking you is racist.
