I did not see a black person in real life until i was 16 in 2010 and traveled to Florida. And by then i had already traveled around Germany and France. I do not imagine the probability of bumping into one was higher in the 50’s
I’m sorry, but I doubt this. I live in Germany myself and see several black people a day. Not usually something I track, but this conversation got me thinking so I paid extra attention during my normal commute. Germany does not collect racial demographics for obvious reasons, but France does. They’ve expirenced roughly a 3% increase in their black population from 2010 to today. Going from 3 to 6%.
If we assume at least a similar increase I find never real hard to believe. Like I don’t really want to just call you a liar, but it’s just statistically unlikely unless you avoided urban areas all that time.
Also this is an interesting read and touches on the exact solider relations I was talking about at least for Germany.

That’s not a 3% increase in black population. That’s a 100% increase in the black population. Assuming your numbers are correct. You are today, twice as likely to see a black person in France vs 2010. But we’re not talking 2010 are we? We’re talking about the 50’s
I’m sorry but you really have nothing to back up your claim that the “majority of europe” had seem them in real life.
You also seem hyperfocused on Germany and France but i think you’re forgetting the other, roughly 40 countries in europe.
