View submission: Following my ‘Eastern European discrimination awareness month’ post, more people shared their experience with discrimination and xenophobia/racism. Here are some stories I have selected:

I'm a Croatian who's living in Bavaria (region in Southeastern Germany), and agree that there is plenty of racism against eastern Europeans...

But the thing is... what are you trying to achieve?

As long as I know, racism or xenophobia is also a problem in Slavic countries, especially in those in Central and Eastern Europe. I mean, people discriminate against their own minorities or people who came to work there..

I'd think that It would be the best if you accept it as a fact, because the problem will not go away.. as long as you speak a foreign language, are of a different religious confession or have a different skin/hair tone, people will discriminate..

Why should we talk about discrimination of other minorities (based on ethnicity, religion, gender) and not about discrimination of EE people? At the very least it raises awareness of this issue which honestly, from my 8 year expat experience, is LARGELY ignored.
