African immigrants to Greece have been subject to [[racism]] and other forms of [[Racial discrimination|discrimination]], including being subjected to a disproportionate amount of racial attacks when taking into account their population size. According to a 2015 article by scholar Max Papadantonakis, African immigrants are “marginalized as racialized others” in Greece, with acts of discrimination ranging from being called “[[Nigger|mavri]]” to being "emasculated and ostracized" by Greek society. Many African immigrants in Greece, including those who are second or third-generation Afro-Greeks, report that they are still "seen as Africans" by white Greeks. Following the [[killing of George Floyd]] and the [[George Floyd protests|subsequent protests]] around the world, the issue of [[racism in Greece]] against Afro-Greeks has gained increased media attention. In the opinion of some Afro-Greeks, the general public in Greece "were finger-pointing at the United States about the way they deal with Black bodies and with Black people, but they don’t really focus, to the extent that we want them to, [on] their self-reflection". Some African immigrants have responded to racial discrimination by educating their children at private, non-Greek educational institutions so they can find economic employment outside of Greece. in 2012, groups of "racist thugs" roamed [[Athens]] and other Greek cities, attacked (among other groups) African immigrants they found in the streets.<ref>{{cite news|last=Chrysopoulos|first=Philip|url=https://greekreporter.com/2020/07/28/what-does-i-cant-breathe-mean-to-afrogreeks/|title=What Does "I Can't Breathe" Mean to AfroGreeks?|work=[[Greek Reporter]]|date=28 July 2020|access-date=27 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.ekathimerini.com/society/147021/african-migrants-face-impossible-life-in-greece/|title=African migrants face ‘impossible’ life in Greece|work=[[Kathimerini]]|date=16 December 2012|access-date=27 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Papadopoulos|first=Apostolos|url=https://gr.boell.org/en/2015/10/21/african-immigrants-greece|title=African immigrants in Greece|work=[[Heinrich Böll Foundation]]|date=21 October 2015|access-date=27 March 2021}}</ref> <ref>{{cite news|last=Adams|first=Char|url=https://sum.cuny.edu/black-athenians-constructing-race-among-greek-immigrant-workers/|title=Black Athenians: Constructing Race Among Greek & Immigrant Workers|work=[[Graduate Center, CUNY]]|date=10 January 2020|access-date=27 March 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Campana|first= Fahrinisa|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2020/11/18/afro-greeks|title=‘They don’t accept you’: Afro-Greeks struggle to be seen|work=[[Al Jazeera]]|date=18 November 2020|access-date=27 March 2021}}</ref>
