I was truly a black kid

[Mortimer]

I was asked whether i feel now or as kid more exotic and alien

Im objectively exotic compared to native austrians but i dont feel alien nor really did very much as kid either i feel at home in Austria and part of Austria already too a bit
Its a subjective feeling though not objective observation where you would say im objectively a naturalised immigrant indeed but he asked how i feel

Do you feel more "alien and exotic" among real Austrians today or years ago when there was not yet a strong extra-European immigration?

To add though as kid i looked slightly more foreign among europeans i think or it striked more
For example i was the only one with black hair dark eyes and my light brown skin and features
I was called Ahmet Mohammed and the n word

I think now some adult europeans can have my pigmentation and because there are more extra europeans with similar pigmentation and real SSA blacks but it was very rare or non existant for a kid in the 90s back then i was truly the black kid

Black Irish (noun, informal / folklore term):
A loosely defined expression used historically to describe Irish people with dark hair, dark eyes, and sometimes a darker complexion, in contrast to the stereotypical fair-haired Irish appearance.
Notes:
The term has no precise scientific or ethnic meaning.
It is often linked to folklore explanations (e.g., supposed Spanish influence after the Spanish Armada), though these claims are largely unproven.
Today, it is mostly considered a colloquial or cultural descriptor, not an official category.
