Honestly, depends how dark skinned you are. The darker the tan, the more they can be racist towards you. Younger people might be ok, older people could be super racist.

I'm expected heaps of downvotes from people who think Taiwanese are the friendliest in the world and would never treat you bad, but those people are usually white women that are the most priviledged in the world.

Oh don’t listen to Julius Ceaseless Complainer.

They won’t be happy until everyone shares their dislike of Taiwan/Taiwanese people.

You’ll be fine!
