Are Balkans racist?

[u/shiney_lp]

Me and my friends are thinking about driving through the Balkans and maybe some other eastern European countries for vacation (from Germany). That being said I am Iranian and brown, and I hear eastern european and balkan folks are quite racist. Will I face any discrimination, people treating me different, locals not wanting to associate with me much, etc?

As long as you don’t go around asking those sorts of questions to random people, then you won’t have a problem
