Andrew Tate, a figure synonymous with online controversy and polarizing opinions, has once again stirred the pot with a recent post on X. On July 18, 2024, the self-proclaimed “red-pill” advocate posed a provocative question to his followers, inquiring about the “whitest” country in the world, as he expressed a desire to relocate.
Tate’s remarks came after he noted seeing three Black individuals in Romania, a sight he claims was rare a decade ago. Reflecting on his observation, he tweeted:
“What’s the whitest country in the world? When I moved to Romania 10 years ago I never saw one single black person ever. Today I saw 3. THREE! In one day. Where should I move?”
Andrew Tate is RACIST? 😳‼️

Unsurprisingly, this statement ignited a firestorm of accusations, with many labeling Tate’s comments as blatantly racist. This isn’t the first time Tate has found himself under fire for his controversial views and offensive language on X. Just a few days prior, on July 14, 2024, he posted a tweet using the “N-word” with a “hard-R” and the “F-slur,” further cementing his reputation for racially and homophobically charged rhetoric.
Ironically, despite his inflammatory statements, Andrew Tate himself has biracial heritage. His father, Emory Tate, was African-American, while his mother is white and hails from England. This complex background adds another layer of perplexity to his racially insensitive remarks.

Adding to his current predicament, Tate’s freedom to travel is severely restricted. Although he was granted permission to move within the EU in early July 2024, this liberty was rescinded following an appeal by Romania’s anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT. As a result, Tate is now confined to Romania, unable to act on his recent musings about relocating.
The backlash on social media has been swift and severe. Many users have condemned Tate’s behavior, calling out his use of racial slurs and questioning his continued presence on social platforms. One user, @WelcomeNowLeave, vented their frustration by posting:
“How is this racist garbage not cancelled yet? And still relevant?”
Another user, @drewmullinax77, echoed this sentiment, pointing to Tate’s repeated use of offensive language:
“I mean bro drops the hard R constantly.”
The uproar surrounding Tate’s comments serves as a stark reminder of the influence and responsibility that comes with a large online following. Despite facing significant backlash, Tate continues to generate attention, for better or worse, highlighting the ongoing challenges in moderating and addressing hate speech in the digital age.
Why is it racist to want to be someplace with white people?
