I live in outside of Atlanta GA, and I have seen some of the most beautiful women I've ever laid my eyes on in the year that I've been here. Including several who work next door to me. I am impressed! If your country is loaded with beauites like these, I want a ticket. I have found myself obseessed with their unique looks and language. I am a black/spanish male, and my experience has told me that whenever foreigners come to the US they have been fed a lot of negative stereotypes about black men in the US. Me personally, I have a college degree, make a very good salary,and still manage to run my own business as well. I hae published two books, traveled to over thirty countries, and speak four languages. I am a politcal buff and have some knowledge about Croatian politics over the last decade or so. I would love to meet and date a Croatian woman, but I would like an honest assessment on what chances I would have finding a single Croatian woman in the US first of all, and secondly whether or not race is always going to be a factor. Language is not an issue, I am an excellent linguist and we could teach each other our native tongues. I have my eyes set on a young lady I've flirted with on several occasions...should I abandon the effort? Your opinion, please. And those of you you have a tendency to show off your bigotry, feel free, I'm not even concerned about that nonsense, it's always more of a reflection onyou than me. Thanks Curly.

I will tell you the truth; 90% of Croatian fathers would have a heart attack if their daughter came home with a black guy. It is sad, but unfortunately this country is full of prejudices but fear not they don't just dislike black people, they hate Serb,s Slovenian, English.

Emiz, I strongly disagree, Croatians are not hatefull. My husband is Slovenian who lived most of his life in Zagreb and never ever had any problems. We most certainly do not hate English people. We do not hate Serbs either, but you must understand that we have been in war only 5, 6 years ago. Did French people love Germans after WWII?
There are less prejudices about skin color in Croatia than in US (I know that for the fact from couple of my friends living in US, and no, it was not South, but Florida and Washington DC). You really cannot base your opinion on couple of people who post their extreme opinions, you will find such people anywhere.
Curly, the fact is there are not many black people in Croatia (or anywhere in Eastern Europe for that matter), but I really don't think there are any prejudices. So give your Croatian sweetheart a chance.

Hello Blackman. I am from Louisiana and know many Croatians and go to Croatia every summer to visit friends and relatives. The girls might go out with you just becasue they think it the thing to do. But I can tell you that their families will not accept you. I am not triing to be mean but I know that all of the ones I know and have talked to do not want anything to do with black people. I have a friend who is the cheif of police in a town in Croatia. One night while we were sitting and drinking on the water front some US army guys were walking back and forth and some of them were black an dthey were stopping girls and talking to them. My friend told me I better go and talk to them and tell them to leave the girls alone. Becaue if they didn't they might not make it home. Like I said I am just telling you what I have seen and heard.

Like I said I am just telling you what I have seen and heard. must be a provincial coastal town. Mr Policeman would react same if it was people from Europ or even from Zagreb. Macho protective b.u.ll.s.hi.t by your cop friend.

I'd say you are being too kind Emiz ... my estimate would be closer to 99%

By observation only, I think EMIZ and GS have got it about right. Is it any different anywhere else in central Europe? What chance would I have in Pakistan? It's the same thing.

Barbar black sheep..you really don't know a lot about this place, as a few others have stated that I was too kind...now if my daughter..well I don't have a daughter..but I will teach my daughter to be open-minded and to dislike all nationalists. The chances that I will be living in this region are slim to zero so I am not concerned.
I do not have any prejudices, I didn't prejudge Croatia, I came here and saw it for my own eyes, there is a huge difference.

i agree with gs who said emiz was being kind with the 90%. If its not outright racism, then it is racism as a result from the fact that there arent any blacks(practically) in croatia. It would be like me, a white boy, moving to compton(los angelas inner city) and thinking i would be welcomed. OK maybe thats a bit extreme but you get the idea. I'm not justifying racism at all. I live in the south in the US and ironically i've found blacks and whites get along so much better here than in the midwest or the northeast. Segregation in Cleveland, my home town, is unreal. One of the most segregated cities in the US. In atlanta you won't have problems. If her parents are in atlanta you might have a chance. If her parents are in croatia then its a high stakes gamble. Not saying you shouldnt go for it...Croatian women are hot!!! I'm sure they would be just as intrigued by you as you with them. Try it out, but dont go planning the wedding yet. cheers

We had black students from exchange programs during som. Unalied countries mostly. Yes some people are rasist but isnt there everywhere rasists? So what would you old ranting fart tell to your daughter if she would bring a black man home? You never answered.

You didn't ask that question, you asked me about a herzogovina nationalist. Your stories change more than the weather, I thought you were in canada......
If my pretend daughter brought home a pretend black man, I would either like him or hate him, it depends if he is a **** really. If he was a nice guy, what difference does it make?
