I have to say that i don't necessarily understand the need to complain about things, especially those that you will not change...
This topic is one of those. There are still 60-80% of the dominant ethnic group and it may seem that they go against each other in public, but in the end they share the same families, have the same traditions and own norms for an acceptable behaviour...
I mean, if you complain about it (not you), get into some sort of political and social engagement.. and also decide what to do you want... if you are eastern European and continue to carry that identity in UK or Germany, you won't be accepted, period.. people will just find you amusing and appreciate your cuisine... Maybe a football fan, or a fan of history, will take more time and interest in you.. but that's about it..

Complaining about discrimination as an immigrant screams about your own insecurities on the matter, as well as resentment towards the people who are native to the country you came to. Chances are, if you are trying to assimilate as well as learn the language, culture, and traditions of the country you came to you will be treated with dignity and respect.
