It's not the norm to get insulted and assaulted if you look "brown" in big cities. Some Shitvillage in Saxonia maybe, but usually not in big university cities
Being insulted is still prevalent. It doesn't have to be slurs, but for example using "du" when speaking to nonwhite people in situations where "sie" would absolutely be the default. That's one type of racist insulting that's still very prevalent.
Yes it is. All of my friends, whoa re eprceived brown, from the people that moved to Germany six years ago, to the people whose grandparents came to Germany 60 years ago, experienced racism regurarly, and often racist violence such as getting chased after, being spit at, or in once case an ambush with knives. And this is all in Berlin, Hamburg, "Left leaning" University towns and so on.
Germany is an extremely racist country and it has gotten much worse over the past years.
Hahaha, what a damn load.
Ahh yes. Germans and looking away and denying the prevalence of racism. Name a more iconic duo.
I have many international friends in university and they never mentioned anything like this. Only that the Ausländerbehörde are a bunch of entitled Assholes. But I don't live in Hamburg or Berlin, so I can't comment on this, only that it's sad that such things seem to still happen there
