I'm Australian but my parents are Fijian. I've never experienced such open and foul racism until my Europe study abroad particularly Germany, Austria and Denmark. I had waiters at restaurants completely ignore me but listen attentively to my White friends, I had a group of teenagers make Monkey noises at me, I had an entitled old lady in Vienna demand I move seats on the tram because she didn't want a foreigner sitting in "her seat". Australia has a racist reputation but I experienced more racism in my Europe study abroad than my entire life back home. I'll also note that unfortunately I also experienced racism/unpleasantness from Turks/Middle Eastern people in Germany.

8 years, I have been living. First 2 to 3 years were nice. I loved the life here until I learned German And started noticing how mean people around me are. And day by day it gets worse it seems. I see more hatred in people's eyes. As if they would have killed me if they could get away with it without consequences. I keep telling everyone is not the same. I keep convincing myself. I have started to work on my plan to live this country and start a new life in my home country.

I am an Asian Canadian and a former tenant as an international student in Freiburg last academic year. After a while, I finally settled in Frankfurt for the remaining three months for my thesis. During my stay, the couple called Nives and Phillp have targeted me for not complying with their cleaning instructions written in German, knowing that I do not read German and the consequence of not being transparent with information. Her writing was clear but could not be read on Google Translate. I had to invite a trusted roommate to the library and helped me to translate on her personal time. I felt so grateful to her. One day, Nives threw her temper at me because I stepped on egg whites that were dropped on the ground. I thought it was water drops because I just washed my hands. Later when I promised to mop the floors, her attitude was so condescending stating that I need to be supervised by her. We are equals, and there is no chance for her to dictate how others live according to her own personal preference. I could not accept that. Before I left for exchange to China, I wrote a letter in traditional Chinese character outlining how wrong and targeted I felt to them and dropped it in their mailbox. They need to know how reading unfamiliar scripts in another language feels like. I also have to deal with my parents living in Frankfurt. My father cheated on my mother, who has severe depression and anxiety, and had an illegitimate child also living with his mother in Frankfurt. During my stay, I had to listen to their argument until 4:00 am. Back when SWFR wrote to me, I felt very much targeted and lonely because of what they have done. I would invite you to imagine yourself being scolded for rules made up by others that you did not understand. I am, however, thankful for Johanna and Til, who were also roommates of mine. Recently, when I reconnected with the trusted roommate, she stated that Nives and Phillip got into a fight with the new Italian roommate. The couple remain unaccommodating. She also quoted that Nives expressed dislike to Italian culture and his Italian music. Whenever they played music in the kitchen, it was okay. However, when I cooked Mapo Tofu as the only homesick relief on Sunday, Nives complained about the smell and opened up the window. Though it was logical, her movement made me really uncomfortable because she shamed my culture. Many children of immigrants reported being traumatized because others complained about their food, which applied to me. As an MA student, I know how well Germany learned from this mentality back in history, and I think having such roommates is both toxic and dangerous. Broken down, I am deeply saddened by how the new Italian roommate has to go through this in a country so much closer to him than where I came from. That reminded me of my past experience, which mentally tormented me during my stay in Freiburg. Being an Asian Canadian means that I had to speak up for the Asian community as a minority back in North America. I could not believe that such xenophobia existed in Germany. From a Spielenabend, Nives mentioned that she also has a Croatian background. As a person also of immigrant background, I cannot understand why she has such a xenophobic mentality. I urge you guys to take this into consideration when deciding to study in Germany.

I've suffered from xenophobia since I was a child, my parents sent me to numerous counselors to no avail. Still to this day I can't talk to some people and people think I'm racist or bigoted but I am suffering from a condition. Since when do we start hating people with phobias? I've started a group recently for anyone who is transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. The goal is to spread awareness of people's phobias and stop the hate from the so called woke people who never go after someone for being arachniphobic.

As a Canadian of colour living in Germany, I was a bit skeptical of this and clicked on this video with trepidation. I experience racism here far more often than I care to admit, far, far more than I did in all my years growing up in Canada. I always get a bit nervous when people who are white passing talk about racism, but I appreciate your point of view and hearing about your experiences. Your first story about the little girl is going to grow up to be very disappointed to find out English is a far more dominant language worldwide than German 🤣 if she remains a monolingual German speaker, she'll only be able to live in small Bavarian villages and her employment opportunities might actually be limited. The old man story you told is a very typical story in Germany. So many racists like that here. And worse. I had to experience this just yesterday in fact. We have to remember that the roots of Nazism and other such abhorrent ideologies haven't fully been taken out in German society. Just like in the US, right wing white supremacist terrorism is a huge danger and the biggest national security risk here, bigger than Islamic terrorism (and the two are ultimately way more similar than most people think anyway!), yet there are far more resources expended on Islamic terrorism here, while nazis are allowed to fester and organize under the radar. Some studies seem to indicate that a good third of white Germans (if not more) harbour many tenets of nazi ideology in their hearts and would absolutely be fine with the country moving in a more fascist direction. In all democracies, people need to be on guard.

Moldovan descendant born in germany here: The biggest part of xenophobia is towards arabs and slavs. The germans always get veeeery self conscious with afro american looking people. African looking? Racism shows again hard. (Obviously only noticed it as i am slav) But to share a little story myself: my family came to germany 1946 over austria fleeing from the soviets. My grandmother spoke 6 languages fluently and both got denied her teacher's degree she made under KuK regulations because she is not "from here" and joining the "bund der vertriebenen" (some organisation working for the interests of displaced) denied entry on the basis she was not german enough and a economic refugee (the soviets would have killed my family for being kulaks. At least the nazis could be bribed enough to spare us and our workers) Fast forward to me in a job interview i got asked about my unusual last name and mention the romanic background and 3 min later the interview was over. They didn't even write me to tell me i didn't get the job. In my experience the most aggressive xenophobia you'll have in major cities and outside bavaria. Bavarians are... Well special. They live my the saying "ignorance is a bliss" and have a pretty akward way of saying stuff. My favorite example for their xenophobia "lieber ein neger in lederhosen als einen preußen am stammtisch" (roughly translated: we prefer a negro in lederhosen/folk dress rather than a prussian sitting at the locals table) It sounds very rude but their intention is only to highlight how hated the prussians are. They consider it a lot more realistic to integrate an african into their culture than accepting a prussian. In general bavarians do not even like themselves that much (lower bavaria vs higher bavaria. Old bavaria vs frankonia and svabia. Bavaria vs munich. Bavaria vs austrians. It has to be noted Bavarians and austrians will stop their feud any time vs saxons/prussians. Lot of text but what is the conclusion? Don't bother with germans. If you do not feel okay here leave. It won't get better. I for sure will do asap after completing my master's degree. P.S. arab/islamistic crimes are currently outweighing right wing crimes in numbers and severity and while the verfassungsschutz is putting a blind eye on the right wing crimes as always police is turning one towards the religious ones on the basis of being called racists if they start working against it. Double edged sword and blunt on both sides.

I'm originally from Germany. I have lived in the United States for almost 40 years and I have experienced discrimination in both countries. While in Germany I married an American GI and there was a tenant who kept removing our American name tag from the mailbox. In the States my kids used to get teased in school and were even called NAZI. They don't have an accent but they sometimes mentioned that their mom was German. I believe the world is the way it is because people in their own homes teach their kids hate. That's why there are wars and this righteous mindset is dividing people.

I even had a very heated conversation with a german lady who got robbed and beaten up by a foreign lookin man. Its very hard to have a objective conversation with people about how their views are racist if they themselves have had bad experiences with “foreigners” or if they were influenced by their parents.

Maybe to give a little backstory on why racism against Polish/Turkish/Arab/... people in Germany is so "popular". I guess this comes from the time when people from the countries came to Germany as workers. At this time, the goal wasn't to immigrate them into the German society so they founded their own society. That lead to a point where these structures are still very present nowadays so children are raised in the feeling of being a "foreigner" even though they are already the second or third generation afterwards. Because German society often gives them the mentioned glares or side-eyes, a lot of these families speak only the language of their grandparents which again leads to side-eyes. It is indeed a problematic situation. Maybe other people can explain that better than me but I just want to point out why there are weird encounters with people saying there would be "better" and "worse" foreigners. This problem was also described in the old song "Griechischer Wein" (Greek wine) from Udo Jürgens. In my eyes, the content is still very very contemporary.

Arabs and Poles didn't come to Germany as "Gastarbeiter" (foreign workers). Arabs came as "refugees" because of the instability and lack of perspective in their own countries, while Poles were kept behind the Iron Curtain during the "Gastarbeiter"-Period. And Turks (mis-)used the right to let their family follow them (Familiennachzug) to increase their numbers in Germany to several million people and literally settle in another people's country, as Turks, never intending to become German (to assimilate), exept on paper - for getting the legal status of a German citizen.

In fact, one Turkish-German chap opened a very popular beer and doner place in Montreal, Canada - he makes the beers on site.

Thank you for this. Listening to people's stories gives me an idea of what to expect so I don't get shocked when I finally live in Germany. I'm an Asian looking to migrate there for its good programs for scientists/researchers, but the issue of racism has always been something that held me back. I'm hopeful though, because I went there for a few days last year (Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover), and thankfully I did not encounter any racism.

You never encounter racism in Germany as long as they think you're just a tourist... spending your money in their country, that's always good for them!!! but as soon as they see you on a bus on a Monday morning, they assume you live there and there is when problems start... I would advise you against going to Germany because they'll make you suffer horribly, you'll get humiliated in ways that you cannot even imagine... Spare yourself the bad experience, there are other countries where people are a lot more "normal"...

Well I was never really racist , but I have to confess that a couple of years ago I thought I was because I really didn't liked people from African or Arabian countries. Not because of their skin color or their religion that never really mattered to me. It's just they were so loud! I could hear them metres away basically screaming when they just hold a conversation. Also when I didn't knew the person and they smile at me so wide with white teeth. Every time it set me on edge and I thought: 'Why is he smiling at me, is he flirting with me, what does he want?!` Only when I visited America and Egypt on holiday did I saw that it was normal for their cultures. They smile more and are more open with their emotions. I became aware that we Germans don't really smile that much and aren't so open with emotions but that awareness only came when I was out of my own cultural environment. I was never racist. It was just the differences in cultural behaviors and not knowing said differences that ticked me off. Today I am better accustomed to them and don't really mind.

Here in Italy there is a lot of racism towards people who come from countries which are in worse conditions, such as Romania, Albania or Morocco, and even some politicians are racist and they say that they should go back to their country because they are not welcomed here and because they are stealing jobs from Italian young people. Unfortunately, especially for historical reasons people from Northern Italy sometimes discriminate people from Southern Italy because the South is less developed than the North and finding a job isn't easy(I can say it since I was born and raised in Southern Italy). Sometime ago there was even a story of a young girl who moved to Milan, in the North, who wasn't allowed to rent a house there by the landlady because she was from the south, and the language used is really offensive, there is a word "terroni" that indicates Southern Italians and it literally means people who work in the fields, because in Southern Italy, especially in small towns, there are still a lot of people who are farmers, but the way in which they say it is to insult them. But what is so bad about working in the fields? Every job is respectable!

That's interesting to read. I have a friend from Northern Italy(who speaks perfect German but you can hear undertones of his Italian accent) who was once denied access into a club we were with a group of our other German friends about 15 of us. I was so shocked and dumbfounded because I wondered I am visibly black and that Security guard let me in, but someone from their neighbouring country was shunned basically with "we don't need shitty Italians here" but it was said in German. My partner was so shocked tried to intervene and he was told "do you wanna stay inside with your girlfriend or follow the shitty Italian" and that's how me my partner and one other friend decided to say bye to our other friends inside and went home.

I don't see racism in your examples. It is not racist to be against people who have ruined their own country and are now trying to improve their situation by benefiting from what your ancestors created for the benefit of their own descendants. The owners are trying to defend their property against large-scale(!) immigration of people who own nothing, which is a perfectly normal reaction.

@@Mark-eu6mc If discrimination is based on racial reasons, it can be called racism. If it's just about nationality, the term racism doesn't make sense. It should better be called nationalism or chauvinism. If locals discriminate against foreigners, that's perfectly fine because their land is owned by their people and a foreigner cannot claim the same right to use it for his own good as a local. This may not be very friendly to foreigners, but no people have an obligation to be friendly to foreigners, especially when those foreigners came uninvited. However, they have the right to defend their country against foreigners who want to take advantage of it. This is not a case of racism either but of ownership.

In South Africa racism is defined as having beliefs that one's own race is superior to others and gives them entitlement to view other people of different race as inferior. In some other countries racism can be defined as having certain sexual preferences such as viewing a specific race as more attractive to the other. So the word racism has various meanings depending on the country obviously.

Speaking of Polish people, it reminds me of some classmates at my university being totally racist, luckily not towards me, but it definitely angered me. I was talking with my classmates about something, and somehow we touched on the topic of immigrants, I can't remember how. The two male classmates were saying something like, Poland and Russia only "export" their girls to Germany, and Polish and Russian girls were seductresses and wanting to marry German guys because Germany is a rich country. I was totally fumed and felt extremely disgusted because (a) I didn't expect that coming from university students; (b) I am an immigrant myself and (c) I know that a fact that one of those two classmates came from Croatia when he was little but grew up in Germany, so he should have known better not be racist. So, I said "you are from Croatia yourself and think about what you just said. Besides, it was extremely sexist." It became silent and quite awkward, so I just left.

Hallo Im Namen Allahs des Barmherzigen Al-Baqir (Friede sei mit ihm) sagte: Wenn die Braut dich heiratet, dann gehe, um vorher die Waschung durchzuführen, und du fügst die Waschung durch, bete zwei Rak'ahs und sage, dass sie ihr auch befehlen, zwei Rak'ahs zu beten. Dann danke Gott und bete zu Muhammad und Muhammad, dann bete und befehle den Frauen, die mit ihr kamen, zu glauben Oh Gott, gib mir ihre Zuneigung, Zuneigung und Befriedigung und befriedige mich mit ihr und versammle uns mit dem besten Treffen und vergiss eine Koalition, denn du liebst die Gesetzlichen und hasst die Verbotenen Wenn Sie sich dafür entscheiden, dass ich einen Sohn von ihr habe, machen Sie ihn gesegnet und fromm unter den Schiiten Mohammeds und machen Sie Satan in ihm nicht zu einer Falle oder einem Erbe. Haben Sie keinen Verkehr mit Ihrer Frau mit dem Wunsch einer anderen Frau als Ihnen, denn ich fürchte, wenn ein Kind zwischen Ihnen entscheidet, dass es weiblich, weiblich, idiotisch ist Im Bett mit seiner Frau, damit er den Koran nicht rezitiert, denn ich fürchte für sie, dass Feuer vom Himmel herabkommt und sie verbrennt. Ihre Frau wird keinen Verkehr haben, außer mit Ihnen mit einem Lappen und mit Ihrer Familie mit einem Lappen. Abdullah (Friede sei mit ihm): Ein Mann hat keinen Verkehr mit seiner Frau, und es gibt einen Jungen im Haus, weil das etwas ist, das geerbt wird Unzucht ... auf die Autorität des Gesandten Gottes (PBUH): Wenn ein Mann und eine Frau Verkehr mit Eseln haben, dann kommen die Engel aus ihnen heraus. Auf die Autorität von Abu Abdullah (Friede sei mit ihm): Wenn er wollte, dass seine Familie zum Verkehr zurückkehrt, würde er die Waschung durchführen und die rituelle Waschung des Gebets durchführen. Der Prophet (Friede sei mit ihm) verbietet Gott und Frieden), damit die Frau mit der Frau darüber spricht, was sie wirklich mit ihrem Ehemann allein ist. Es ist wünschenswert, es beim Geschlechtsverkehr zu nennen und die Waschung durchzuführen, insbesondere wenn die Frau schwanger ist, und Gott, den Allmächtigen, zu bitten, ihm einen Sohn zu geben: fromm, gesegnet, rein, männlich, zusammen. Er hasst Geschlechtsverkehr in der Nacht der Sonnenfinsternis und am Tag der Sonnenfinsternis .. und am Mittag außer am Donnerstag .. und bei Sonnenuntergang, bevor die Dämmerung vergeht .. und in den Wüsten .. und nach Sonnenaufgang bis zum Sonnenaufgang .. und in der ersten Nacht des Monats außer im Monat Ramadan .. und in der Mitte des Monats und am Ende des Erdbebens Und der gelb-schwarze Wind. Er hasst den Geschlechtsverkehr, die Zukunft des Kusses und den dahinter. Und im Schiff. Und nackt. Und die Folgen eines feuchten Traums vor dem Waschen. Es ist nicht beliebt, auf die Vagina der Frau zu schauen und zu sprechen, ohne Gott zu erwähnen

Das Wichtigste für mich sind Kinder und dies ist die Fortsetzung. Über die Etikette der Ehe O Ali, wenn du mit deiner Frau im Bett bist, lies den Koran nicht, denn ich befürchte, dass Feuer vom Himmel auf dich herabkommt und dich beide verbrennt. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau ohne Lappen und mit deiner Frau ohne Lappen und wische nicht mit einem einzigen Lappen ab, so dass das Verlangen auf das Verlangen fällt, und das folgt der Feindschaft zwischen dir und führt dich dann zur Spaltung und Scheidung. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau vom Aufstehen, denn das ist Wer Esel macht und wenn er zwischen Ihnen stirbt, wird ein Kind im Bett urinieren wie Eselurin überall Ort . O Ali, habe in der Nacht von Eid al-Fitr keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir geboren wird, wird es erwachsen Der Junge leidet keinen Sohn bis ins hohe Alter. O Ali, habe in der Nacht von Eid al-Adha keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau Denn wenn er sich zwischen euch beiden entscheidet, hat er sechs oder vier Finger. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau Wenn er sich unter einem fruchtbaren Baum zwischen Ihnen entscheidet, ist ein Kind ein Henker in einem vollständigen Kampf. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau angesichts der Sonne und ihrer Herrlichkeit, es sei denn, du bist entspannt, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir verstorben ist, ist es immer noch in Elend und Armut, bis es stirbt. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie zwischen dem Aufruf zum Gebet und dem Iqama Denn wenn ein Junge zwischen Ihnen verbracht wird, wird er eifrig Blut vergießen. O Ali, wenn deine Frau schwanger wird, habe keinen Verkehr mit ihr, bis du dich in der Waschung befindest, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir hin und her geht Sei blindes Herz, geizige Hand. O Ali, habe während der Mitte von Sha'ban keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir hin und her geht, wird es mit einer Wunde in den Haaren und im Gesicht verzerrt. O Ali, habe in der letzten Phase keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie - das heißt, wenn noch zwei Tage übrig sind -, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir stirbt, ist es im Voraus. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie über die Lust ihrer Schwester, und wenn er sich zwischen dir entscheidet, wird ein Kind ein Steuereintreiber oder eine Hilfe für den Unterdrücker sein, und eine Gruppe von Menschen wird durch seine Hände zerstört. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie auf den Dächern des Gebäudes, denn wenn sich ein Kind zwischen dir entscheidet, wird es ein Heuchler, ein praktizierender Innovator O Ali, und wenn du auf eine Reise gehst, habe in dieser Nacht keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir verbracht wird, Er gibt sein Geld zu Unrecht aus. Und der Gesandte Gottes, möge Gottes Gebet und Friede auf ihm und seiner Familie sein, lesen Sie (dass die Verschwender Brüder von Dämonen waren). O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie, wenn du drei Tage und zwei Nächte spazieren gehst, denn das ist es Wenn ein Junge zwischen Ihnen stirbt, wird er allen helfen, die Sie unterdrücken. {Die Tage, an denen die Ehe empfohlen wird} O Ali, du musst am Montagabend Geschlechtsverkehr haben Denn wenn sich ein Kind zwischen Ihnen entscheidet, wird es ein Hüter des Buches Gottes sein, der mit dem zufrieden ist, was Gott, der Allmächtige, geteilt hat O Ali, wenn du am Dienstagabend mit deiner Familie Verkehr hattest, segnet er das Martyrium, nachdem er ausgesagt hat, dass es keinen Gott gibt Außer Gott und dass Mohammed der Gesandte Gottes ist und Gott der Allmächtige ihn nicht mit den Polytheisten bestraft, und er ist gut Der Geschmack kommt aus dem Mund, barmherzig, dem Herzen, großzügig, der Hand, der reinen Zunge, vom Rückbiss, Lügen und Verblassen O Ali, und wenn du deine Familie am Donnerstagabend getroffen hast und ein Sohn zwischen dir gestorben ist, dann wird er der Herrscher von wem sein? Herrscher oder ein Gelehrter unter den Gelehrten und dass ihre Universität am Donnerstag ist, wenn die Sonne aus der Mitte des Himmels verschwindet und er zwischen Ihnen und einem Kind hin- und hergeht. Satan kommt ihm nicht nahe, bis er grau wird und sein Verständnis und sein Lebensunterhalt Gott ist Sicherheit in der Religion und in der Welt und dass die Universität am Freitagabend war und ein Kind zwischen Ihnen war Gesprochene Worte. Und ihre Universität am Freitag nach dem Nachmittag, und er ging zwischen euch beiden vorbei Bekannter berühmter Wissenschaftler sein. Und dass sie am Freitagabend nach dem Leben nach dem Tod Geschlechtsverkehr hatte, würde es gefallen Der Junge statt des Ersatzes zu sein, so Gott will. O Ali, habe in der ersten Stunde keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie Ab der Nacht, wenn ein Junge zwischen Ihnen verbracht hat, glaubt er nicht daran, ein Zauberer zu sein, der die Welt beeinflusst Das Jenseits. O Ali, behalte diesen Willen wie ich unter der Autorität von Gabriel, Friede sei mit ihm.

Der Junge ist verrückt geworden, also geben sie sich nur die Schuld. Auf die Autorität seines Vaters Musa auf die Autorität seines Vaters Jaafar auf die Autorität seines Vaters, Friede sei mit ihnen, sagte er: Es ist nicht beliebt, wenn ein Mann in der ersten Nacht des Monats, in der Mitte und am Ende des Monats Geschlechtsverkehr hat. Und er, Friede sei mit ihm, sagte: Wer heiratet, während der Mond im Skorpion ist, sieht nicht das Schönste. Und er, Friede sei mit ihm, sagte: Wer im Monat der Bedrängnis heiratet, der soll das Kind erobern. Der Gesandte Gottes, möge Gott ihn und seine Familie segnen, empfahl Ali bin Abi Talib, Friede sei mit ihm Er sagte: O Ali, wenn die Braut dein Haus betritt, zieh ihre Hausschuhe aus, während sie sitzt und ihre Beine wäscht Und gieße Wasser von der Tür deiner Tür zum anderen Ende deiner Tür. Wenn du das tust, hol Gott raus Verdunkle siebzig Farben der Armut und bringe siebzig Farben des Segens hinein und sende siebzig auf dich herab Die Barmherzigkeit flattert über den Kopf der Braut, damit sie in jeder Ecke Ihres Hauses ihren Segen erhalten und sicher sein kann Die Braut ist von Wahnsinn, Lepra und Lepra oder befällt sie, solange sie in diesem Haus ist. Und verhindern Sie, dass die Braut in ihrer Woche Milch, Essig, Koriander und einen sauren Apfel davon bekommt Die vier Dinge. Ali, Friede sei mit ihm, sagte: O Gesandter Gottes, und für alles, was ich daran hindere, dies zu tun Die vier Dinge? Er sagte: Die Gebärmutter wird für das Kind von diesen vier Dingen sterilisiert und gekühlt Eine Matte an der Seite des Hauses ist besser als eine Frau, die nicht gebiert, also sagte Ali (PBUH): O Gesandter Gottes, was? Kumpel Essig verhindern sie? Er sagte: Wenn sie mit Essig menstruiert, wurde sie nie vollständig gereinigt, und Koriander ist aufgeregt Menstruation im Magen und gestresst durch Geburt. Und der saure Apfel stoppt ihre Menstruation und es wird Krankheit an ihr, Er sagte: O Ali, habe zu Beginn, Mitte und Ende des Monats keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau, denn Wahnsinn, Lepra und Demenz beschleunigen sie und ihren Sohn. O Ali, habe noch keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau Mittag, denn wenn ein Junge zu dieser Zeit zwischen Ihnen verbracht wird, wird er schwerer zu fassen sein, und Satan freut sich über die Sehnsucht Im Menschen. O Ali, rede nicht viel beim Geschlechtsverkehr, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir hin und her geht, glaubt es nicht Um stumm zu sein und nicht auf die Vagina Ihrer Frau zu schauen und Ihren Blick beim Geschlechtsverkehr zu schließen, dann den Blick An die Vulva wird Blindheit vererbt - was beim Jungen bedeutet O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau mit dem Wunsch einer Frau Außer Ihnen befürchte ich, dass Sie beide beschlossen haben, eine Schwuchtel, weiblich und verrückt zu sein.

You're absolutely right about the "positive discrimination" towards English speakers. It happens to us all the time. Often people are even keen to join in the conversation when I talk English with my daughter ( 4 yrs old ). And obviously they will talk about the benefits of being raised bilingual. But actually our daughter is trilingual and guess how certain people react when my ethiopian wife speaks Amharic to her? " Why don't you teach her to speak German?" , " This is Germany, why don't you people integrate yourselves into this society more?" , "Your daughter will suffer later in life because of your inability to teach her the language of this country!' They are surprised when my wife replies in perfect German and then have usually apologized. I think it may be because the English language is omnipresent and n everyday life and may be regarded as something "cool". It might also be jealousy about not having had the same opportunity . But it's probably mostly just good old fashioned racism. Nice video as always ..and as expected from a good foreigner😉😜

Having lived in numerous countries on three different continents, I never experienced a more unfriendly, inhospitable and judgemental nation than Germany. What makes living here even less fun is the fact that Germans are just too square, lacking flexibility and simple human spontaneity. It's almost as though they been tought from early on to supress their own feelings and vent by being unfriendly in a very blunt and cold manner. Relieved and happy to be leaving soon!

Just wanna mention that Germany is one of the most tolerant country. Countries like France, UK, USA, Russia, Arab States, Poland or Hungary are far worse thaj Germany. Many right Parties are in charge or even active and they even introduced xenophobic laws. What I think is that you all think Germany is bad cause most of you live here for a long time. I mean I have never experienced racism in France, why? Cause never have been to France. But I live in Germany since I was born. I met nazis, communist, right- and left people or salafists. Actually "Polish-American" is one of the most luckiest thing you can have here. Its more likely that Arabs, Blacks or Turks get attacked and insulted.

@@Harwey-lz4gp Thanks for the input Harwey. The reason why I have my doubts about supposed German tolerance is because you label Poland as a racist country without having actually been or lived there - this is precisely the sort of Goebbels propaganda the former used to instill fear and discontant within the German population against all-things foreign. Poland has always been one of the most welcoming, hospitable and ethnically diverse countries in Europe (not counting the 50 years of communist rule with Russian troops stationed in the country as a result of the Germano-Russian attack in the Fall of 1939). The problem is the German public media which constantly portrays Poland as a lesser, backward and racist country ruled by a right wing government. This is unacceptable, unprofessional and simply not true. Germans are led to believe by their state to be unmistakeable. It would be great if they could finally start thinking outside-the-box.

Our Minister for Innenpolitik said that every refugee is a human and that we shouldnt make differences. And one thing: Experience isn't important, i wanna see facts etc. And thats not propaganda. Goebbels hated Jews and Slavic people etc. he was racist, xenophobic etc. My comment just criticised the current political situation in Poland. Instead of arguments you basically saying im a Nazi. But im NOT a nazi. And as already said, for a german like me its a big insult. I love my polish brothers and sisters and im sorry for my history. You Playing the nazi card which is disrespectful for everyone who died during that time.

In my 4 decades in Germany I have often had to hear "But you're an Engländerin; that's different" in response to my "I'm a foreigner, too", and it didn't give me a nice feeling, obviously! Another phenomenon I have come across here, although it is not likely to only occur in this country, is that certain ethnic groups tend to 'look down' on and criticize other ethnic groups, as though there were a hierarchy. I find this likewise absurd and disturbing. We still have a long way to Go.

Hello Antoinette, good afternoon!! Very good idea to talk about that topic!! Well done, social media platforms are part of our live and appreciate if someone really tries to talk from time to time about serious, difficult topics.👍 Germany and the whole world has a huge problem with racism and we need to talk about and it's absolutely necessary, there was to much silence about the topic for a very long time, far to long for my opinion and if nobody talks about we can't get over it and solve the issues we have. For a very long time the society in Germany was built on racism and discrimination, in the earlier times we didn't noticed so much, news about it came a few days later, now with the internet news coming immediately to us and we can hear and react much faster. So thanks for sharing your experience, it's really sad that guys have still to deal with it. That's one reason why education, conversation and learning be traveling is really important and kids should have the opportunity to meet other people in different ways to learn about each other. And that's why homeschooling for my personal opinion is not the right way, it's not always good if kids hear only the opinions from the parents and they decide what the kids should know about the world.

It is best to distinguish racism triggered by how people look and the kind of defensive nationalism based on what national identity they have and what language they speak. The latter is quite prevalent in Europe, unfortunately, and has slightly different characteristics than racism. It is often based on unhealed historical wounds and negative stereotypes on how "cultured" and urbane other nations are compared to one's own. Very often eastern and southern nations are despised by western and northern ones. National identity is a source of self-esteem, especiallly for individuals who need such self-esteem for psychological strength; and putting one's own nation above some others helps such people indirectly.

Great video but I think the word racism needs to be clarified. Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. Racism is not the dislike of a people from a different country unless the above applies. A German not liking a New Zealander just because they come from there doesn’t make them a racist, it just makes them a piece of crap. A lot of what you are calling racism is xenophobia. Keep up the great work!

It seems like xenophobia is quite misunderstood. It's meeting something you've never meet and then instantly fearing it. The fear of the unknown. To me it's creatures like bugs and animals, new foods, trying new activities, anxiety in new social situations and so on. Imagine suddenly seing a dragon for the first time and not knowing they exist till that very moment. Then instantly thinking something bad is going to happen because the dragon is dangerous. Of course you can be both xenophobic and racist, but being xenophobic doesn't make you racist. The phobia has nothing to do with hate, only fear. It's a real phobia, just like being scared of clowns or spiders. But usually with xenophobia you're afraid of everything, untill you understand it's not dangerous.

Xenophobia is a common problem wherever you go, as you already know. It isn't related to a country, it is inherent to human nature. You don't even need to be from a different country. I've had the privilege to live in different countries, so I can give you examples, in SE Brazil a lot of people look down at people from the NE of Brazil, people from Luzon in the Philippines look down at people from Visaya, in US , people with a strong Southern accent are also looked down from other Americans. There are more examples that I've seen in other countries, but this illustrate my point. Most of these stereotypes start at home, like the little girl in the playground, and gets perpetuated. Braking this cycle is very hard, but only education done correctly can reverse it.

Racism is something that is widely accepted here in the US. Your 1st experience with the child shows that racism is something that parents and care giver teach their children. Racism won't stop until hate and fear against other cultures stop. That is what racism is, it is fear of the unknown and the reluctance to accept there are other cultures in this world who people can learn from. Accepting and learning about other cultures should be viewed as something to be treasured, as other cultures can enhance and compliment ours. I enjoy your videos.

@@AntoinetteEmily Then he has being just very lucky. When I was a child racism was quite more common and much more acceptable. Sometimes maybe less aggressive, but due to its regularity maybe even more hurting. You should not forget where Germany is coming from. It is coming from a society where the whole life was deeply based on racism and violence. Ordinary, friendly people steal their neighbours goods after those where deported to the gas chambers and treated like insects. That was not a single, but a widespread phenomenon. And these were not strange barbaric idiots. Germany was at that time maybe the most cultivated and scientifically advanced people on this planet. People had to proof there worth by their "bloodline", which became sometimes a question of life and death. Therefore your genetic analysis about your ancestors (in principle a funny interesting game) has some strange sound in many German ears (which is not your fault). Even if years have passed and many things have changed since then, there are still remnants deeply in our culture and sometimes they pop up like a nightmare. But they are still as real as the fantastic public social network, the great constitution, the pretty houses and the friendliness and honesty. There are many "Leichen im Keller" as we say. If you talk about it (carefully) with your polish part of your family you might find that there are still wounds left from that time also in our neighbours hearts and memories all over Europe. In principle it is all very sad and tragic, especially that it is so difficult even after all this, to learn that we are just brothers and sisters on our one and only planet. A real "German" weakness (every stereotype has some real core) is a lack of modesty and humility, which is valid far beyond extreme racistic people. This makes the people vulnerable for chauvinism against Eastern Europe, the South and the Middle East. The only medication is the contact with people from these areas which has being become more regular recently. Therefore, there is reason for some optimism for the future. By the way, it is great that you showed your Libanese soul, when you could easily escape towards Anglo-Saxonia. Maybe this guy learned something.

Dann danke Gott und bete zu Muhammad und Muhammad, dann bete und befehle den Frauen, die mit ihr kamen, zu glauben Oh Gott, gib mir ihre Zuneigung, Zuneigung und Befriedigung und befriedige mich mit ihr und versammle uns mit dem besten Treffen und vergiss eine Koalition, denn du liebst die Gesetzlichen und hasst die Verbotenen Wenn Sie sich dafür entscheiden, dass ich einen Sohn von ihr habe, machen Sie ihn gesegnet und fromm unter den Schiiten Mohammeds und machen Sie Satan in ihm nicht zu einer Falle oder einem Erbe. Haben Sie keinen Verkehr mit Ihrer Frau mit dem Wunsch einer anderen Frau als Ihnen, denn ich fürchte, wenn ein Kind zwischen Ihnen entscheidet, dass es weiblich, weiblich, idiotisch ist Im Bett mit seiner Frau, damit er den Koran nicht rezitiert, denn ich fürchte für sie, dass Feuer vom Himmel herabkommt und sie verbrennt. Ihre Frau wird keinen Verkehr haben, außer mit Ihnen mit einem Lappen und mit Ihrer Familie mit einem Lappen. Abdullah (Friede sei mit ihm): Ein Mann hat keinen Verkehr mit seiner Frau, und es gibt einen Jungen im Haus, weil das etwas ist, das geerbt wird Unzucht ... auf die Autorität des Gesandten Gottes (PBUH): Wenn ein Mann und eine Frau Verkehr mit Eseln haben, dann kommen die Engel aus ihnen heraus. Auf die Autorität von Abu Abdullah (Friede sei mit ihm): Wenn er wollte, dass seine Familie zum Verkehr zurückkehrt, würde er die Waschung durchführen und die rituelle Waschung des Gebets durchführen. Der Prophet (Friede sei mit ihm) verbietet Gott und Frieden), damit die Frau mit der Frau darüber spricht, was sie wirklich mit ihrem Ehemann allein ist. Es ist wünschenswert, es beim Geschlechtsverkehr zu nennen und die Waschung durchzuführen, insbesondere wenn die Frau schwanger ist, und Gott, den Allmächtigen, zu bitten, ihm einen Sohn zu geben: fromm, gesegnet, rein, männlich, zusammen. Er hasst Geschlechtsverkehr in der Nacht der Sonnenfinsternis und am Tag der Sonnenfinsternis .. und am Mittag außer am Donnerstag .. und bei Sonnenuntergang, bevor die Dämmerung vergeht .. und in den Wüsten .. und nach Sonnenaufgang bis zum Sonnenaufgang .. und in der ersten Nacht des Monats außer im Monat Ramadan .. und in der Mitte des Monats und am Ende des Erdbebens Und der gelb-schwarze Wind.

Das Wichtigste für mich sind Kinder und dies ist die Fortsetzung. Über die Etikette der Ehe O Ali, wenn du mit deiner Frau im Bett bist, lies den Koran nicht, denn ich befürchte, dass Feuer vom Himmel auf dich herabkommt und dich beide verbrennt. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau ohne Lappen und mit deiner Frau ohne Lappen und wische nicht mit einem einzigen Lappen ab, so dass das Verlangen auf das Verlangen fällt, und das folgt der Feindschaft zwischen dir und führt dich dann zur Spaltung und Scheidung. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau vom Aufstehen, denn das ist Wer Esel macht und wenn er zwischen Ihnen stirbt, wird ein Kind im Bett urinieren wie Eselurin überall Ort . O Ali, habe in der Nacht von Eid al-Fitr keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir geboren wird, wird es erwachsen Der Junge leidet keinen Sohn bis ins hohe Alter. O Ali, habe in der Nacht von Eid al-Adha keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau Denn wenn er sich zwischen euch beiden entscheidet, hat er sechs oder vier Finger. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau Wenn er sich unter einem fruchtbaren Baum zwischen Ihnen entscheidet, ist ein Kind ein Henker in einem vollständigen Kampf. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau angesichts der Sonne und ihrer Herrlichkeit, es sei denn, du bist entspannt, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir verstorben ist, ist es immer noch in Elend und Armut, bis es stirbt. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie zwischen dem Aufruf zum Gebet und dem Iqama Denn wenn ein Junge zwischen Ihnen verbracht wird, wird er eifrig Blut vergießen. O Ali, wenn deine Frau schwanger wird, habe keinen Verkehr mit ihr, bis du dich in der Waschung befindest, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir hin und her geht Sei blindes Herz, geizige Hand. O Ali, habe während der Mitte von Sha'ban keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir hin und her geht, wird es mit einer Wunde in den Haaren und im Gesicht verzerrt. O Ali, habe in der letzten Phase keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie - das heißt, wenn noch zwei Tage übrig sind -, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir stirbt, ist es im Voraus. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie über die Lust ihrer Schwester, und wenn er sich zwischen dir entscheidet, wird ein Kind ein Steuereintreiber oder eine Hilfe für den Unterdrücker sein, und eine Gruppe von Menschen wird durch seine Hände zerstört. O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie auf den Dächern des Gebäudes, denn wenn sich ein Kind zwischen dir entscheidet, wird es ein Heuchler, ein praktizierender Innovator O Ali, und wenn du auf eine Reise gehst, habe in dieser Nacht keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir verbracht wird, Er gibt sein Geld zu Unrecht aus. Und der Gesandte Gottes, möge Gottes Gebet und Friede auf ihm und seiner Familie sein, lesen Sie (dass die Verschwender Brüder von Dämonen waren). O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie, wenn du drei Tage und zwei Nächte spazieren gehst, denn das ist es Wenn ein Junge zwischen Ihnen stirbt, wird er allen helfen, die Sie unterdrücken. {Die Tage, an denen die Ehe empfohlen wird} O Ali, du musst am Montagabend Geschlechtsverkehr haben Denn wenn sich ein Kind zwischen Ihnen entscheidet, wird es ein Hüter des Buches Gottes sein, der mit dem zufrieden ist, was Gott, der Allmächtige, geteilt hat O Ali, wenn du am Dienstagabend mit deiner Familie Verkehr hattest, segnet er das Martyrium, nachdem er ausgesagt hat, dass es keinen Gott gibt Außer Gott und dass Mohammed der Gesandte Gottes ist und Gott der Allmächtige ihn nicht mit den Polytheisten bestraft, und er ist gut Der Geschmack kommt aus dem Mund, barmherzig, dem Herzen, großzügig, der Hand, der reinen Zunge, vom Rückbiss, Lügen und Verblassen O Ali, und wenn du deine Familie am Donnerstagabend getroffen hast und ein Sohn zwischen dir gestorben ist, dann wird er der Herrscher von wem sein? Herrscher oder ein Gelehrter unter den Gelehrten und dass ihre Universität am Donnerstag ist, wenn die Sonne aus der Mitte des Himmels verschwindet und er zwischen Ihnen und einem Kind hin- und hergeht. Satan kommt ihm nicht nahe, bis er grau wird und sein Verständnis und sein Lebensunterhalt Gott ist Sicherheit in der Religion und in der Welt und dass die Universität am Freitagabend war und ein Kind zwischen Ihnen war Gesprochene Worte. Und ihre Universität am Freitag nach dem Nachmittag, und er ging zwischen euch beiden vorbei Bekannter berühmter Wissenschaftler sein. Und dass sie am Freitagabend nach dem Leben nach dem Tod Geschlechtsverkehr hatte, würde es gefallen Der Junge statt des Ersatzes zu sein, so Gott will. O Ali, habe in der ersten Stunde keinen Verkehr mit deiner Familie Ab der Nacht, wenn ein Junge zwischen Ihnen verbracht hat, glaubt er nicht daran, ein Zauberer zu sein, der die Welt beeinflusst Das Jenseits. O Ali, behalte diesen Willen wie ich unter der Autorität von Gabriel, Friede sei mit ihm.

Der Junge ist verrückt geworden, also geben sie sich nur die Schuld. Auf die Autorität seines Vaters Musa auf die Autorität seines Vaters Jaafar auf die Autorität seines Vaters, Friede sei mit ihnen, sagte er: Es ist nicht beliebt, wenn ein Mann in der ersten Nacht des Monats, in der Mitte und am Ende des Monats Geschlechtsverkehr hat. Und er, Friede sei mit ihm, sagte: Wer heiratet, während der Mond im Skorpion ist, sieht nicht das Schönste. Und er, Friede sei mit ihm, sagte: Wer im Monat der Bedrängnis heiratet, der soll das Kind erobern. Der Gesandte Gottes, möge Gott ihn und seine Familie segnen, empfahl Ali bin Abi Talib, Friede sei mit ihm Er sagte: O Ali, wenn die Braut dein Haus betritt, zieh ihre Hausschuhe aus, während sie sitzt und ihre Beine wäscht Und gieße Wasser von der Tür deiner Tür zum anderen Ende deiner Tür. Wenn du das tust, hol Gott raus Verdunkle siebzig Farben der Armut und bringe siebzig Farben des Segens hinein und sende siebzig auf dich herab Die Barmherzigkeit flattert über den Kopf der Braut, damit sie in jeder Ecke Ihres Hauses ihren Segen erhalten und sicher sein kann Die Braut ist von Wahnsinn, Lepra und Lepra oder befällt sie, solange sie in diesem Haus ist. Und verhindern Sie, dass die Braut in ihrer Woche Milch, Essig, Koriander und einen sauren Apfel davon bekommt Die vier Dinge. Ali, Friede sei mit ihm, sagte: O Gesandter Gottes, und für alles, was ich daran hindere, dies zu tun Die vier Dinge? Er sagte: Die Gebärmutter wird für das Kind von diesen vier Dingen sterilisiert und gekühlt Eine Matte an der Seite des Hauses ist besser als eine Frau, die nicht gebiert, also sagte Ali (PBUH): O Gesandter Gottes, was? Kumpel Essig verhindern sie? Er sagte: Wenn sie mit Essig menstruiert, wurde sie nie vollständig gereinigt, und Koriander ist aufgeregt Menstruation im Magen und gestresst durch Geburt. Und der saure Apfel stoppt ihre Menstruation und es wird Krankheit an ihr, Er sagte: O Ali, habe zu Beginn, Mitte und Ende des Monats keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau, denn Wahnsinn, Lepra und Demenz beschleunigen sie und ihren Sohn. O Ali, habe noch keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau Mittag, denn wenn ein Junge zu dieser Zeit zwischen Ihnen verbracht wird, wird er schwerer zu fassen sein, und Satan freut sich über die Sehnsucht Im Menschen. O Ali, rede nicht viel beim Geschlechtsverkehr, denn wenn ein Kind zwischen dir hin und her geht, glaubt es nicht Um stumm zu sein und nicht auf die Vagina Ihrer Frau zu schauen und Ihren Blick beim Geschlechtsverkehr zu schließen, dann den Blick An die Vulva wird Blindheit vererbt - was beim Jungen bedeutet O Ali, habe keinen Verkehr mit deiner Frau mit dem Wunsch einer Frau Außer Ihnen befürchte ich, dass Sie beide beschlossen haben, eine Schwuchtel, weiblich und verrückt zu sein.

I've suffered from xenophobia since I was a child, my parents sent me to numerous counselors to no avail. Still to this day I can't talk to some people and people think I'm racist or bigoted but I am suffering from a condition. Since when do we start hating people with phobias? I've started a group recently for anyone who is transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. The goal is to spread awareness of people's phobias and stop the hate from the so called woke people who never go after someone for being arachniphobic.

Wir sind alle Ausländer, fast überall - we're all foreigners, nearly everywhere. Since English is usually the first foreign language taught at schools, people approve of you giving your kids a head start. On the other hand there are still families where only their language is spoken at home, basically isolating their children by putting them behind a language barrier until they attend school.

THW werst you can do is to give not your mother tongue to your children but talk to them in a language you are not easy with. A child who learn one language really well is normally able to learn other languages much more easily than those who never learned at least one language perfectly. I am a teacher and we have lots of kids where the parents immigrated, speak some German and talk in German to their kids. Those do not have a any language to really express themselves in a detailed way. They didn't get the chance to make comfortable with a complex grammar system, so to adopt another one later. I always encourage parents to use whatever language they know best But there are already lots of parents who aren't firm in any language already!

Great video Antoinette. Racism is as old as time itself. I can remember racism in NZ and it was really blatant. My parents used words that I wouldn't repeat here. And you are right about Maori being first in the country (Tangata Whenua). The young girl you encountered wasn't born racist. It's a learned behaviour from her parents. So in the UK racism is endemic sadly and Germany like NZ NZ and the UK will have their right wing groups. I think one of the most moving songs I've heard characterises human behaviour. It's called Abraham, Martin and John thus version is performed by Tom Clay. If you have a ball I wouldn't blame you. Listen to the narrative between the adult and the young boy. I'll never understand human nature. We're essentially all in the same bodies just packaged up in different coloured exterior. One question. Do you know Mike Hanna. I have been thinking about him for so long. Take care from Greater London.

I'm german. Born, raised...everything. Not really xenophobic. I think it's about time to judge people by their behaviour here. May they be german or "foreigners". I hate this old statement "Ich bin stolz, ein deutscher zu sein!". That was a saying of the right wing folks. What for? I was proud to be a german, when Hayley once stated that she got more racist comments back home in the US in 14 days than she got in 2 years of living in Germany. THAT made me proud of beeing one of them. On the other hand: we do have some people here, who don't behave well against others. Coming here from other countries. And treat us like crap. I've experienced that. Mostly towards an ex-gf. Molested by such folks to a max. To an extent, where she and a friend walked into a police station, to get rid of a molestor. We (all) need to stand tall against people like that. But: point at the single person! And not judge by language or colour or whatever. But blame that person. Aloud! Call the police, if you're molested! It doesn't make you a racist, if this person is black. (That was, what my gf and me experienced so many times. I wish I'd had the balls to call the police, back then. ) It is upon us to form the society we wanna live in, in the years to come.

The last thing may be a problem nowadays. I don't know if this still happens. The story I remember happened aroune 2003. A classmate had been beaten hard by some Turkish guys (he didn't do anything than smiling at their sister). He contacted the police and since it had happened on his way home from school the school also was involved into the talk with the police. It ended up with telling him that he better not press charges because onr might think that he (or the school) is xenophobic. When you've experienced something like that you might hesitate to contact the police if someone who looks or sounds like a foreigner would do something criminal against you.

Dear Antoinette, I miss videos about raising kids bilingual. I have at the moment this question: in the first year(s), when you couldn't speak German, and you went to the playground, and your kid was talking German to other kids or mothers (who said maybe important things to your kid), how did you deal with this, because you couldn't understand what they were talking about. And later, when your kid got better and better in German, wasn't this very frustrating for you, that you were excluded, if your kid talked with others German e.g. in shops or Kindergarten. How did you talk to the Kindergärtnerin? How did you deal with the frustration, e.g. after a difficult talk in the Kindergarten or if you didn't understand, what other mothers said at the playground? I ask this, because my friends (with their toddler) want to move from UK to Germany and he, the father, can't talk German at all and I wonder, how frustrated he will be, he loves his son (1,5 years old) who is already talking perfectly both languages, but in Germany it will be very difficult for the father. If your video would contain something, that encourages the parents-parts, who can talk only one language, that it will be fine, that the kid talks the unknown languages to the others and that it just takes time and after e.g. 2 years it's getting easier and easier to understand something... or so, that would be helpful for him, loosing fear from the step to go to the new country and the difficult contacts there. ...

A lot of German people are able to speak english nearly fluently because we learn it in school (Nowadays from class one, but when I went to school (from 1986 to 1996) from 5th grade on). So your friend mustn't be that afraid. Even in Kindergarten he might be able to talk English. People will at least understand a lot of his questions and will answer either in English or in another way he's able to understand.

In England they are worse, speak English or be hung!!! English has taken over and been the dominant language globally, that I can ever more understand Germans need to feel strong urge to preserve their unique language and in their own country visitor's/guests should certainly respect it!!! It isn't the natives and locals being "rude" or backward but those who show up and demand or push their ways onto their host that is quite outlandish and unwelcome/unpleasant. Countries should be focused on the crisis of their own people right now, if they were, the issue of foreigners wouldn't even exist and some semblance of progress would be possible in regards to homelessness, poverty, hunger, lack of education and health care services for those who worked for their native Homeland. This is sense & reason, responsibility. NOT racism.

Hello Antoinette! I hope your pregnancy is going well and you are getting rest ( if possible lol) I am South African with Indian bloodlines and have been living in NZ for 23 years. Most of the time, Kiwis are accepting and open minded too (not as open minded as the Germans that I have met here in NZ but still, they are open minded which is great) I have experienced so much racism here in NZ and although it's not on a daily or weekly basis, it has been shocking and bewildering for me as I now consider myself to be a New Zealander. The times that it had happened, it's been so venomous and toxic. A lot of times I have been yelled at or mocked by Maori people mainly and with Pakeha, it's been more of an ignorance and them assuming way to many things about me and my race. I am in no way saying that all Kiwis are like this as that would be completely untrue. Watching your video has been emotional, thank you for raising this topic as its so relevant in this world. My son, he is born here in NZ and I have always known that he is kiwi, unfortunately though, because of our darker skin, he has also been exposed to racist labels from kids at school. Luckily, his mentality is " how stupid are they mum?!?" - Take care Antoinette :)

Yes, as a German I think your assessment of the situation in Germany is spot on. There is a strict hierarchy of countries based on how civilized they are perceived and people from different countries get treated as such. The irony of that being not such a civilized behaviour in itself is lost on most people. It is ok to have your guard up with certain countries more than with others (e.g. it would be naive to think Afghan rural people would be on the same level on gender equality compared with NZ or Germany) but nonetheless you should treat everyone the same and that is according to their behaviour.

Honestly, I think these two incidents were actually peanuts, the first too grotesque to be taken seriously, the second so normal that I wouldn't really mind. The most severe form of racism happens in already existing hierarchies and is usually rather hidden and covert, namely racial discrimination in the educational system and at the workplace, which can have really destructive and long-lasting impacts on the victims, and often it's very difficult to prove the racist motivation in the first place. What characterizes German racism is this often mentioned "Man darf ja nichts mehr sagen" ("we're not allowed to say anything anymore") - and yet racism still finds its way: Subtle, from behind, and most of the time hardly provable. This tactic has been perfected during the last seven decades.

my honest opinion on this might be a bit controversial. I was raised with a lot of prejudice against people from Eastern Europe and especially against Muslims. My grandparents always blame refugees for basically everything. On the other side English speaking people seemed to be very educated and it felt more connected to my own culture. That might be a reason why people think new Zealanders are more welcome in Germany . i think it has somehting to do with people being scared of the unknown. Since i was around a lot of immigrants( and also foreign people when i was in other countries) in the past years I became more open minded. I no longer judge people after origin, but it took a lot of time to reverse the opinions you got tought by your family as a kid. I love my grandparents but its always a fight when they start to talk about immigrants.

Germany is a country that was gassing children and babies for the crime of being born Jewish or Eastern European , and that's only 80 years ago , essentially yesterday not even the life time of a single person , and that explains it far better .

I'm shocked to hear what some really close members of my family would say and (given they are rather left/green in terms of their political opinion) it's even much more terrifying to extrapolate to actual right wing racists... And I totallly agree with the "good foreigner" story. I lived in Switzerland, Brazil, France and Portugal (apart from Germany where I grew up) and as a German you tend to belong to a very privileged group. My landlord once openly told me that he'd be totally OK with Germans and happy to welcome them but definetely not with "those Arabs" or people from Kosovo... In Portugal people are really happy to have German tenants but I could cry hearing the stories of my black cape verdian friend looking for a place to rent... So even I have my personal experience of being totally welcome in Portugal and not at all in Switzerland I see how this is a very subjective experience which can't be translated into a general statement about racism in these countries.
