That was the reason I stoped learning German. Like… what is the sense? It’s less hurtful to be hated for “oh, you come to our country and don’t learn our language, it’s disrespectful” than just being hated for a name/accent and when you have already spent your free time on something you don’t need. lol

Come on. A few judgemental people are a reason to grumble, but not to give up on a language.

Don't give up. I am American, older with health problems and have lived here 10 years. I still cannot speak the language, but I'm trying again. I finally found a course that "clicks" for me and I'm trying. I don't "need" the language, but I get tired of not being able to make myself heard and since people look at me like I'm just a lazy american, I want to prove them wrong. You can do it ! Don't give them yet another thing to criticize you for! Show them you can do it!

I am not sure why are you getting downvoted. For sure there is racism everywhere, but Eastern Europeans are particularly badly treated in Germany and I even think the UK is better, and many other places are even better.
