"I was born in Germany. German is my mother tongue. I was in Africa just once in my life - on a package holiday,” says Konrad Erben, a student in Jena. Nevertheless, many people insist Erben can’t be German because he is Black. But Afro-Germans have been living in Germany for a long time. Hundreds came from German colonies during the Imperial period. Some appeared in spectacles known as "Völkerschauen.” Others came to get an education. Mandenga Diek was the first African to become a German citizen in 1896. A successful salesman, he campaigned for civil rights with an organization called the "Afrikanischer Hilfsverein.” It marked the beginning of an organization for the Black community in Germany.
During the Nazi period, Afro-Germans were misused in propaganda films. For example, they played alongside Heinz Rühmann in the film "Quax in Africa.” Many were also subject to forced sterilization and imprisoned in concentration camps. After World War II, black US troops had relationships with German women in occupied Germany. Their children were put up for adoption in the United States. Those who remained were marginalized by racists daily. A former member of the German national soccer team, Erwin Kostedde, recalls his experiences in this film. Gabriela Willbold became the first black child to attend school in Cottbus. She took the anti-racist assertions of Communist East Germany literally and refused to tolerate any discrimination.
In "Black and German,” four generations of men and women speak of their moving, rousing and proud history. This documentary is about racism, survival and self-empowerment.

I am mixed race British jamaican. I spent 12 years in Germany. Once I got stopped by the police on the street and they said I look suspicious. Funny e ough, the first thing they asked me was whether I speak German. Then they refused to believe that my name was Aaron as it did not fit my appearance. They drove me home, checked my apartment, then reviewed my documents. No apology and they just left. It was the day I felt like something was wrong with me and the day I decided to move home to the UK as the racism was just too frequent. I appreciate the education I received there but I never felt fully welcome.

I was in the army for 8 years, lived in Germany for 6, had many black soldiers in my unit and not one ever complained of Racism, not once. Not in 3 different battalions of infantrymen. The only thing they ever said about being black was how many girls they got. And why didn't you sign a complaint against the officers for such racism? You were there for 12 years but didn't know that would have been wrong? Just too frequent huh, but never though of filing a complaint. how convenient. People love to complain and be the victim. Well then let me say, I'm so glad you escaped such a racist place as Germany. Everyone is entitled to their own experiences.

Who is wrong here? Noone because everyone is describing what they experienced.

I speak really good German and used to work as a cashier at a DM supermarket branch. Most people were nice to me but some people just hated me cos of the color of my skin. They wouldn’t let my hands touch theirs when they paid me and would tell me to keep their change on the table for them 😂. I don’t really care so much about this but it’s funny how stupid racism makes people . Edit: Thanks for the support guys, it means a lot. For those saying it had nothing to do with racism rather germophobia. I have been in the country long enough to know the difference. The vibe alone will tell you that they hate you, cos even when you smile, greet and try your best to ignore how rudely they throw the money at you or speak to you when they are forced to address you, they still end up muttering under their breath how "you" foreigners are spoiling everything and are everywhere.....lol. I know a racist encounter when I experience one. Like I said, the racist encounters are a minority though so I prefer to focus on the positive things that I've got in life :)

This is very humbling and also a reality that some Black people don’t take into consideration that no matter where you go, our skin color gives us a card that we have to understand we always cause us to be treated differently. No matter where we go. It’s a card in the deck you have and it’s not going anywhere. So you learn how to play with the deck of cards that you have. The game may not be changed. You don’t control the game. But you do control how you play those cards in that game.

Speaking as a white person I can't tell you how many times in life I have been treated unfairly, passed up for jobs without even being given an interview, let go from jobs even though I did my best.... pulled over by cops for silly reasons, cheated, lied to.... ignored, excluded from groups, chosen last.... kept out of cliques at work and on. I can't tell you how many of those incidents I would have thought were because of racism had I been born black. I can only conclude much of the world's racism is in people's imagination.

I never faced racism from patients, but instead from my collegues who I have to prove again and again I was worth to be working there and many of them would do the impossible to prove everybody else it was wrong to have a black doctor in the hospital, not need to mention all the racist comments I had to hear over and over again...a daily battle just to do my job.

Thank you for educating the world on this issue. I am Afro-American/German. I was born in Munich, educated in Germany, and lived in Germany until I was 10 years old. My parents then decided to relocate to the U.S. I only have fond memories of my childhood, I do not recall any racism. The other German kids were always very curious why I had curly hair, and wanted to touch it. My family spent a lot of time with other German family members in Germany and Austria. I was always treated as just one of the family. I entered the military and requested Germany. Because I was fluent in German, I was selected to join a team, that patrolled the then East German border. Many times during my duties, I held conversations and exchanged food items with East German border guards. They were amazed that a light brown skinned person in an American uniform spoke German so proficiently.

This documentary was very enlightening and very interesting. I'm from Brazil, my skin is white, and my knowledge of racism is mostly about my own country, both to black and indigenous people, as well a bit of U.S. racism simply because they import so much of their culture worldwide. I knew nothing about black history in Germany up until now, and I'm glad DW made such a rich documentary about it. Above all, I leave this documentary feeling in absolute awe at the strength and courage of black people for sticking for themselves and their worth in society despite dealing with such awful challenges throughout their lives. I hope to see a world better united by the time I'm old.

People often mix up offering the same opportunities with same outcomes. Not to have the same outcome is no indication for structural racism. Is there racism in Germany? Unfortunately there is, is it as bad as the documentary is telling us? No, it is not.

It's not just in Germany. You also have to deal with racism in Spain. It's really bad here. People look at you as if you are not welcome, you are called names like: you are a monkey, piece of dirt, etc... the police stop you because they think you are dealing with crime, but then they answer that they are busy with control, in the tram people don't want to sit next to you, but rather next to a non-black person, they expect you to step aside when they walk towards you. But I will not tolerate such behavior and I will speak up straight away and show them that they have the wrong one today! Here, for example, a white person from France/ukraine/the Netherlands (who does not speak a word of Spanish) is treated better than a black person who does speak Spanish. What will be the reason, do you think? 😉 There is definitely race categorization in Europe. I'M LIKE, I HAVE THE SAME RIGHT AS EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF MY SKIN COLOR. THIS IS HOW I SEE IT. I TACKLE HATE DIRECTLY. YOU DON'T GET ME SMALL BY YOUR HATE, JEALOUSY OR INSECURITY! A CERTAIN SKIN COLOR DEFINES NO ONE'S POSITION OF POWER OVER ANOTHER.

As you can guess he speaks perfect German. and whenever he speaks his language(German), he gets compliments " oh. you can speak good German, good job" or "where are you from , where did you learn German?" time to time(quite often) He told me when he was a school kid, he refused to eat Korean food, especially before going to school. He did not explain why, but I kinda could guess why. I could feel parts of the struggle that a boy had experienced. meanwhile I am also a korean who just moved here, so I am stil korean and fully foreighnor getting to know new scoety, so for me, nothing bothers me yet. but I can guess for some people who tried to settle down, maybe germany(or any country) could be hard to be their genuine homeland.

I am a Korean adoptee, who was raised in Germany by German, white parents. I had my fair share of racist encounters when growing up, but I can definitely say that I experienced waaay more racism during my stays in countries, e.g. France, Italy, Poland and Sweden.. I think Italy and East Europe is especially bad for Asians and people with African / Caribbean descent And I also noticed that African- Americans are often perceived as Americans in Germany, and receive therefore better treatment than people who come from Africa.. The most direct and blunt racism that I received in Germany, was unfortunately by people from other minority groups..which sometimes hurts even more, since I always believed that we minorities should support each other... and fight for the common cause.. Based on my experience living in the Netherlands for several years, it is pretty much the same here compared to Germany.. not better or worse. The Netherlands might be a bit easier for Black people to live, though.. especially in bigger cities with a larger Black community. I also noticed that they are more represented in Dutch media, commercials, etc. these days, but the Netherlands is definitely not a perfect place.. Sometimes Dutch people are worse, because they have not truly processed their colonial past, yet and prefer to see themselves as "super tolerant", and as a "nation without racism" 🫣

I am from Hawaii and of mixed race like a majority portion of my island home. A decade ago, a friend and I was traveling across central and eastern Europe. After crossing from the Czech border into Germany, we decided to visit the Dresden Zoo. At the zoo there was a sizable number of elementary school aged groups. There was one Afro-German 6 or 7 years old girl that was just staring at me. It was only after seeing that we were the only two non-whites around, I felt somewhat baffled how it would be living in a society where one would stand out by the colour of one's skin. However, when the young girl was speaking in German to me and I did not reply...and said I was Hawaiian... It was shocking to hear the class saying 'Aloha'!

One thing a lot of people who live outside of Europe, Asia, and Africa don’t seem to understand is that you can’t claim to be part of a group simply because you were born in its territory. Much of the world is founded based on a group of people who share a similar language, culture, and ethnicity. In many of these countries both nationality and ethnicity are the same thing. Think of places like Poland, Iceland, Japan, Estonia, Korea, etc. All of these places see people who are of that ethnicity as part of the nation. Even Estonians see Russians who are White as not really Estonians, they are just a group of people that live in their territory. For us in places like the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, etc it’s easier to claim to be a part of that group since they were very much multiethnic in their inspection. Like myself I am a Native man of the Cree tribe, and just because a White person lives here on the reservation with us or some have been born here too, it doesn’t make them Cree in any sense. We still see them as very much outsiders. It would be the same if I moved to a Yoruba village in Nigeria, I would never be Yoruba, or if I lived to Saudi Arabia, I will never be Arab, or if I moved to Denmark, I will never be Danish.

I’ll use places like Japan and Korea as an example. The people who live in that country are under no obligation to include you in their media or art under any circumstances. You are a guest in their country and you do not get to dictate the rules or demand a change in their culture to make you feel comfortable or “at home”. They are feel to be as inclusive or non-inclusive as they wish. If they want include foreigners it is on their terms. Remember, just because you consume it doesn’t give you the moral authority to demand changes; and the reason you consume it is because it is representative of that particular culture. There are numerous countries in the world I disagree with on a political basis like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, etc. But if I go there and start demanding they accept liberal and Western values that not only would be hypocritical but extremely disrespectful to that country which welcomed me in as a guest.

Having moved from the US to Germany (and as a very privileged white Auslander), I feel like racism is so subtle here that people have deluded themselves into believing it doesn't exist, or that it barely exists. At the university where I teach, a student just told me a few weeks ago that race is barely a topic of discussion in Germany. Most of the conversations he hears or reads are in English from foreign media or on English social media platforms. According to him, when someone tries to have a difficult conversation about race in the German language in Germany, people immediately shut down. I asked him if he felt this may be connected to the country's unique history (which they are collectively so ashamed of), and he said probably. But I think this issue in Germany goes a lot deeper.

Yes, it is no hot topic because racism seem to be much, much worse abroad. And Germans regard the diminishing ofr a genetic ethnicity as racism and not simple all-day micro-discrimination. For instance, the perefernce of native house hunters etc. It is not regarded as subject to criticism per se because of course people tend to trust and prefer partners with shared values, rules and way of living. It is a matter of feeling comfortable and trust. It is not about racism. Besides, nowadays, everybody claims to be a victim of discrimination - also in order to get privileges, accommodations and attention. Many Germans are annoyed and tired of all these complaints....me too. People will always favor their own people. And they will always find a reason to exclude somebody from resouirces sharing. The list of reasons is endless....age, gender, wealth, body shape, sexual identity, social class, region, education level etc. If resources are shrinking, selection starts....,and people try to rationalize their choices in an increasingly heterogenuous society. Diversity results in decreasing social cohesion and solidarity the fundamental principle of the German society with its social security net funded by previous generations to secure the well-being of their offsprings solely (called generation contract). It is not about the superiority or inferiority of ethnicities or simple things like your skin complexion at all. Finally, it is your right to decide with whom you like to cooperate, share or live together. There is nothing wrong about it. The house owner determines the rules and your own family possesses priority.

This documentary was well done thanks for sharing. I admire everyone involved who had the courage to stand up for what’s right,especially Dr. Gabriela Willbold who had the courage to fight to be a Gynecologist. I’m West Indian and living in the US for most of my life. When I lived in South Florida I did not experience racism at any point as South Florida is a mixture of many nationalities. Times have changed and I’ve been in Orlando for a little over 14 years and the racism here is unreal, I’m a healthcare worker and occasionally come across patients are more comfortable with their own race. Most of the racism I’ve experienced or seen is actually from people of color. A few months ago a coworker (Hispanic) called another coworker (Black) a black monkey it was reported and nothing was done, absolutely nothing. The difference between the two is one skin color is slightly lighter than the other maybe 2 shades lighter nothing else. Both women of color. Unfortunately racism is no longer a black and white issue It exists amongst everyone and until we come together and respect each other regardless of our skin color but respect each other as human beings it will never end. It’s a sad world we live in, we’ve come a long way as people of color but nowhere near where we need to be.

Except that... we have. It's just that some things are biologically engraved in our genes and we can't exist outside of our biologies as human species. Racism is one of them, since it's a biologically determined reaction, whose function is to serve as a defense mechanism against everything foreign/external/unknown. And as such, it is totally natural, healthy and product of biological evolutionary process. Humans have evolved to be like this both on physical and psycólogical level, because it was the only way we could survive. Like everything else, it also has its positives and its negatives, but the truth is that there is no culture in the world that has opened its doors wide to foreign presence and cultures, and that hasn't lost it's identity and that this did not lead to a gradual break with its roots and traditions, which in the end inevitably leads to it's demise.

The "old" german forced them to be in that country and now they should accept the concequences of their own ancestor, what will imply to accept like germans completely. I am from a country (Colombia) that was neither "white" nor "black" and the country have both kind of people, do you think it makes sense to consider that we are not colombian by ethnicity? The ethnicity including the culture is built with the local people, so how dare to say that the latin music, for instance, is not part of our ethnicity? the "aboriginal" people in Colombia, for example, are a lot of kind of nomad that walked from africa to Americas in the Glacial Era, white people are descendent of African people if you remember the humanity history, so how can you argue that the afro-descendent in Germany that were born in Germany are not native?

My friend said thats just how they are and to ignore them. Anyone under 40 were friendly and its a great place to visit. There are c*nts everywhere in the world, you cant help that. Another point to keep in mind is adapting to an extent to the country where you reside, im raised in a country thats "not my own" and never had serious issues because i live as they do. Look whats happening with the migrant problem in west Europe now, they choose to live in ghettos, i mean that in the sense that they surround themselves with other expats and choose not to integrate with the local way of life and traditions, that in my opinion is racism. I have a North african friend and i argue with him when he says things like "we'll make spain Muslim again" and hes not that extreme, there's worse cases. That can be considered a declaration of war ffs. Why would you want to bring the thing that ruined your home country to your new country? Its a complicated issue, but immigration has to be controlled delicately and somehow stop the creation of colonies that just poison the mind.

I'm half German half Egyptian, but grew up in bavaria without the reason why my hair is curly. For most other Germans this unfortunately means that u can't be one of them. Everytime you meet someone new its like telling your whole life story in the beginning of the conversation. The only thing you know at this point is the other person's name, maybe. Not uncomfortable at all. Edit: I also haven't been to the hairdresser in 15 years here, because they kept butchering my curly hair haha, but that's just a side note.

Calling Germans racist is not moving past anything. The really problem is we only focus on "Diversifying" Europe & North America. Why aren't we diversifying Asia, India & Africa the same way? Also if your all about getting past the color of your skin then why all this promotion of an individual using there skin color to identify them? Something tells me this "Anti-Racism" idea is a load of BS. If I was born in America & moved to Germany & would be a German Citizen. Thats what identifying yourself to create Unity looks like. There's no use in people's skin color being used & there's really no use in using a Continent like "African" when describing a dark skin person. Africa is made up of many country's & is not a race. If people care so much about "Unity" they aren't acting like it.

Having a citizenship doesn't make your nationality of a country you obtain that citizenship from. Their nationality is from wherever they originate from but they are born in Germany or obtained German citizenship. It was wrong what colonialists did. People should not be ashamed from their origin and their nationality or race. It is important to know your origin for medical reasons because some nations or races of people are immune to some illnesses while other are not. Eg. my doctor was stunned that I have lactose intolerance because the group of people I came from didn't have it. The lactose intolerance is very common with African and Asian people. Same goes for many other intolerances and illnesses. But as for racism, what do they expect in Germany, it is something of a cradle for Racism.

Man. This is such a deep indepth doc. I makes me look at Germany with new eyes. I lived in Germany for 4 yrs as an American Citizen. I would say the racism in faced was maybe one time. Pehaps I never really paid attention to it. I lived in Bavaria. Between nürnberg, regensburg and munchin. I really love living in Germany. It felt like the first time where I wasnt looked at for being black like in America. 2015-2019 felt like a dream to me. I travelled all over Germany, from Hannover, Hamberg, Berlin, Cologne, wiesbaden, frankfurt, mannheim, munich and all over. The two times I could feel racism were in Berlin and they denied us entry in a Club, they said "no Americans" I was a bit upset but I just said whatever and kept on going, the other was a guy that was maybe afraid I was going to take his girlfriend so he was making stereotypical remarks to me about hip hop music. I met some German Africans that told me they have faced a lot of racism so I know it ecist. I hope things change and get better. Ich liebe Deutschland 🇩🇪

I was REMOVED and taken away from my German mother and American father ( American Sergeant in Germany American Air Base who went to Vietnam war and survived...) when he came back , the Catholic Church had together with the German Government decided to remove all Brown ( mixed raced ) Children..either by forcing the mother to deliver her child or the mother was forced to give her baby away by birth or the Cathollic church went to the mother after birth, paying for her expenses and in return she was forced to give away her child, either to adoption or to a German Catholic Kinderheim ( childrenshome ) where we afterwards were picked to either starv to death ( Death Childrens Homes ) or sent to another home, where we were sexual abused, and flogged every day and put down into a dark room placed right underneath the Diningroom wooden floor ..If you were screaming you would be placed on a chair down there in the limp and the wooden floor was closed by a hatch ! Then,, 4 years later , my biological father was still looking for me..and my biological mother was asked not to try to find me , otherwise she would be threath to be let out of the German Society , and in meanwhile I was kept in silence away, moving me arround to different Orphaneges for then later to send me out of the Country by illigal Adoption and my Papers was falified and stored and divided into different files abd then scattered in different registry offices , hoping that I would never be able to find out the truth and hoping that i would never be able to find my Biological parents again and hoping that I would never be able to file a lawsuit against Germany and the Catholic Church. BUT last year I finally managed to find most of the papers ..! It revealed among things, that my biological father tried file a lawsuit and custtidy , since my biological parents DID file by law an agreement ..if he would not survive the Vietnam War, I should be taken care of by his family in the US and filed also father Custody in the agreement. The germans dragged the time out and waited for over 10 years until I was Legal og age after German Law, and told hereafter my biological father that their responsibility was not any longer theirs ..and closed the case...Today, there is still a Man thoussands of Miles away somewhere who is still waiting for his son...and I am still trying to find him ..if he is still alive..but its a long progress ...I still hope...that I will reach him in time and be reunited....! I did find my German mother, for years back..SHAME ON YOU GERMANS AND SHAME ON YOU CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR VIOLATING NOT ONLY THE TREATY OF ROME BUT ALSO HUMAN RIGHTS AND FOR VIOLATING THE TREATY OF 1945 AND FOR VIOLATING SO MANY BROWN CHILDREN FROM 1960 to 1998 ...over 3000 was illigallly adopted to Denmark and over 5000 to other Countries ..and over 10.000 were executed , by starving on purpose to death . We ALL were abused , some beaten to death, some of us was even forced to participate in Illigal medical Tests, such as I was, which I recently also found out.Illigal .LSD tests, which stunned us and made us unable to feel the violence and sexual abuse that was beeing done to me / us . In my Medical Documents that I have recent found, a Surgery Doctor writes " It is necessary to do an Immidiate Surgery on this 3 year old boy , the Rectum is completely torn and inner instestinal system is unable to function , the child has been raped and sexual abused , futher full overdosed with LSD Substance and does not respond prober " ! sexual abused by the Catholic Church Orchestered by the German Government.

The automatic presumtion of being English (as a white English speaker) in NRW resulted in a very different treatment to being identified as another nationality in the first instance. I also note my Asian friends, are actually more welcomed by Germans at school, than English speaking whites. I also remember remember in 2000 going to an African hairdresser and being told I should goto a German one. Don't need to watch the rest of this.

I don't fully understand what you mean, but if you were born in a country (and grew up there) you can definitely say "I'm from here/there" no matter where your family is from, because well.. your life started there. If you don't feel at home there or uncomfortable saying that, then don't do it. To me, "where are you from" was always based on where I was born (Germany), but "who/what are you" also includes how I grew up (non German household). Whenever I had to introduce myself I never hid any of this (if my name and accent weren't already telling enough). I have no idea about ethnicity, though. To me, it doesn't matter, but to others it's incredibly important and part of their experience. People make different decisions in regard to the claim "I'm from here" and that's fine. So, telling someone they're not allowed to claim to be from the place they call home because of "genetics"/ethnicity? That's incredibly hurtful and can possibly lead to even more discrimination. I don't think people coming from an entire lineage in a country understand how complicated and confusing this can be (factually, emotionally).

@@TommyMclean-fv5cy far-right agitators enjoy enough funding to pay for very sophisticated media operations so we hear from them to a disproportionate extent and, thus, that skews public perception of the issues. Successive studies have shown that people hugely overestimate the extent of immigration and have unrealistically inflated perception of the number of immigrants in their communities, and in their country as a whole, and it’s easy to see how these perceptions have been shaped by far-right extremists with the aid of very substantial financial support from extremist groups in Russia and the USA. Ultimately, right-wing politics needs a scapegoat. Someone HAS to be blamed, because without that scapegoat the flaws of life under totalitarian capitalism become too obvious to deny and the general public, denied their scapegoat, could well become unruly. What have you ever done to be allowed to live in Germany more than them? you actually did nothing, just being born is not doing anything. Every person that ever tried to enter was born. Yes all being created equal does mean that, No special status for being born at a certain location. You are just another bigot that thinks they deserve special treatment because mommy popped you out on one side of a river instead of the other. Nothing makes you more deserving than any person trying to live. If a person has a specific reason to be excluded then do so but the default has to be acceptance unless there is cause not to. White people were a minority In Africa but they had far more rights than the natives in their homeland. You always have this inferiority complex no matter when or where.

The latest example of such was Axel Steier, people complained about the guy responding to him and even accused him of antisemitism (somehow) but what Steier wrote on twitter about population exchange and that Germany is too racist to be reformed and the only solution was if it stopped existing and how in 50 years there would be no "white breads" anymore in Germany, that was all but ignored.

Racism has also to do with the "Ausländer " in general. Not only with dark skinned people. As an Albanian who has worked every single day since I moved to Germany and has never been paid a si gle penny from Job Center, I have often felt kind of a prejudice on me, like not wanted, as I belonged to a second- hand level of people. It influenced a lot on my self esteem. Now after 5,5 years, I still feel unsecure and with a lot of psychological problems. But, there are a lot of supporting people as well. I can't deny that.

That's not racism...it is discrimination based out of prejudice...a black person would go through the same thing in Albania, as in germany

​@@rickihosein They don't get it. They also don't seem to understand that if they change their Albanian or Italian names to German names and only speak German they will still be white at the end of the day. When it comes to racism, *black people do not get that option*. We will be black no matter how much we change our names to German names or no matter how much German we speak. When racist want to be racist the skin color is the only thing that matters to them.

@rickihosein8639 racism and discrimination both have as fundamental to them the prejudice, which leads to the manifestation of negative, hostile, etc behavior towards the targeted people who are different from them.

I am from south Amerika dark skin, adopted and living with my white family in Germany. I lived in small towns and big city’s and I just experienced racism as a child in school from other children. The experience I had with police.. they were always super nice to me. I moved to a small town and all the older people are super nice too. Friends from Uk who lived in Germany for a while, would prefer Germany, as for them UK is way more racist. On my experience, people take this subject serious here because of the history. You can file charges for hate speech here. I am very happy here and wouldn’t like to live in a different country but everyone has different experiences.

It’s a pity although most black Europeans also discriminate against their fellow blacks who arrived from Africa.However, discrimination and racism should be reduced or eliminated for humanity collective progress

That's true. They don't mind at all racism among Black people. They even hate each other, border against border. Have you seen the movie "Congo"? One African man said he was thankful his descendants came as slaves, otherwise he would be in Africa right now where "ethnic war' and "ethnic superiority" is daily social norm.

If a white person called a black man a monkeys you will say racist but apparently if a black man calls another race monkey it’s not racism it’s discrimination you hear yourself. Any race can be racist you can be a black man and be racist you can be an Arab and be racist you can be Chinese Japanese and be racist racism is not done by one group of race it is done by all nationalist groups who feel they’re superior over other race. Yes I do agree it is more rampant by white Europeans

This is an invalid argument. What you described there is discrimination not racism. did you try to lessen the major problem here by generalizing the matter? There's a major problem that needs solving and lessening it by tweaking the truth doesn't solve it.

@35:40 Some of the people in this comments section are like the cop who refused to help Konrad when the cop said "It seems you are making a big deal about your race", after Konrad was being harassed by racist people. The desire to blame the person being attacked so that they don't have to admit there is something wrong is a strong base impulse for many.

A person asking a non white German where they are from is not racism,despite propaganda, Germany doesn't have history of black people as demography. If you see a black person in China or Japan you wouldn't automatically think they are fron there for obvious reasons, those countries have no history of black people in their demography! They were overwhelmingly homogeneous historically. So to expect someone to assume you are German as black person is delusion actually.
