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

I am also working in academia and I have similar experiences. However I usually don't minge much with Germans. I much more prefer internationals. I had some really bad interactions with Germans lately and I felt super discriminated. Funny thing one was a girl working in the governmental organisation for racism and she flat out told me that I shouldn't live in Germany if I have the opinions that I have. Well sorry not sorry but I think no matter the opinion you can live in Germany. But yeah that hurt. I am sick of Germans who think racism against black people is a bigger issue than racism against Easter Europeans in Germany. No it is not, you just wanna be much more like USA and take on their problems (and be sooo woke) while you wanna completely forget about your own issues.

I cannot wait to move out of Germany and this is one of the big reasons.

I am really sorry about your experience. If you don't mind could you please give more examples?

Well, your entire post depends on the opinions you have. If you have the political orientation of the typical AfD voter i'd agree with her. Its neither racism nor xenophobia if you want to protect your country from this mindset.
