View submission: Do you think that sometimes discrimination based on nationality (especially discriminating Eastern Europeans) in Germany is more socially acceptable than racism?

I think you mean more off limit - correct? Less off limit would mean they are more likely to be talked about. I think the fact that POC are less commonly talked about is due to lack of historical exposure. The polish have historically intersected with Germany far longer than most other groups. There’s a preexisting familiarity that gives unspoken permission in many minds to speak ill of eastern Europeans including Poles. Sorry about your experience. I am mixed and grew up in Germany, always felt like it was a pretty racist / biased environment.
