British would-be expat moving to Morocco -- tips

10 years ago

Planning to move to Fez, Morocco for five or so months in September. I'm British but black and I've heard a great deal about racism in the country. I've a degree from Oxford and I'm doing a Masters at UCL. I'm also taking French classes and will soon embark on a formal English teaching qualification. I've been told that having French, having a degree from an internationally recognised uni and having a teaching certificate will aid me during my time in Fez. However I'm reading a lot about educated African American women being spat at and called racist names on the street, black women being raped, black women being unable to rent apartments because of their race. I come from England and have almost never experienced racism of any sort. Is moving to Fez a ridiculous idea because I'm black and female and therefore at risk? Or are these exaggerations? Some of the stories were on news outlets so I'm not sure they're exaggerations. I would love some into this based on actual experiences. Thank you.
