Meh, they’re just as racist. Just not publicly or virulently like the US has been. Been going to Germany for 20+ years and sitting down with everyday people you’ll quickly hear about all the problems with immigrants and the like. It’s quite common.
Is there anywhere this isn't the case? I've heard the same in Central America, Sweden, and the Netherlands, I know the UK is that way too.
Yeah, it’s pretty universal, but I think the point is that Germany comes across as very progressive when in fact on the ground level it’s got some problems too.
I'm not certain what the great filter actually is, but I'm starting to worry that humanity might deserve it.
It’s the light at the end of the tunnel some of us hoped to make it through, except it was the proverbial train.
I have a brother in law that moved to Germany. He talks about it like it’s the magical promised land, where everyone is awesome and poverty and racism isnt a thing. He grew up in wealth and moved to a nice area of Germany so he thinks he knows how it all works
Probably the case for most well-off people. They have more of a choice to ignore the dirty underside of life.
