- You can describe me by telling someone that I am brown or I have a dark skin tone. I find it ok, but what is not ok is treating or believing yourself superior over me. Here's my story and my encounter with racism in my past years in Germany.

I come from a city called Jaipur, where the streets (old city) are full of tourists, irrespective of which weather it is. And I can so well remember that each time I saw some tourist, I used to look at them, what they wore, how they bargained with the drivers and how they handled scorching heat in summers. *This of course, was not a racist look, but just a curious one to have seen people even white skin and blue/green eyes!*
Neugieriger Freggel that's implicit racism by American standards. Everyone does that, including me..
**TheHappyHoot** Aren't we a bit racist though?
ok. seems he is a real racist though ^^ btw, Freggel du Flegel!
> Neugieriger Freggel Hoping that your grand children will be white with blue eyes.. Yes that's outright racist.. It's called implied racism.. Luckily they will be born in a different society.. Get a life...
Woman Professor rejected him as he is from India, where rapes happened. That was racist!en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig_University_internship_controversy
I can vouch for this. I did my masters in Germany, and never faced any racism in my three years here. I then started my Ph.D. in Switzerland at one of the best universities the world. I quit in three months due to routine racism I faced daily and came back to Germany to work. Happy to be back in Deutschland!
Really?? Where were you?? I have heard there is huge racism in Bavaria!! Is it true ??
Nice to have you back!
Sorry to hear about your experience in Switzerland though.
Can I know which uni ?
Really?? Germans are very racist you must have applied to UK.. they are most chill people
@@RanaKshitij no that's not true.
As a German I can assure you the staring and checking out is normal here. People would look at you for no reason. It can get quite awkward when you catch them staring.They mostly check your clothes,style and/or looks. It's not always staring in a bad way. Sometimes it can be admiring your style. I always feel like I have something on my face. I hate it. But unfortunately I am quite a starer myself🙈 I just can't change it.
If a german guy stares at you, it's not because he is checking out your clothes, but because he likes you(r physical appearance) and would like to date you.
wft no if that would be so i would have been on some dates
@@rahuldalal4763 Well that isnt a fact Rahul bhai. You can have that opinion but to call it a fact is wrong.
@@rahuldalal4763 well as it seems to me you were implying it as such. I found it informative. Maybe you didnt find it informative in a way that you expected but i did.
Where da fuck are you living?! God dammit as a German I find it extremely impolite to stare at random ppl.. Wtf.. it's considered as a social no go.. Where are Germans living who like to stare at ppl? Im curios
It's not normal to stare at ppl.. Fine if you feel so but don't say it like all Germans would do so
i once encountered an Indian guy phoning someone and switching between Hindi und German all the time. I was so happy that I actually knew it was Hindi (because when I was 16 years old I was obsessed with all things bollywood) and stared at this man for mere minutes. it was so amazing hearing someone speak Hindi so fluently and mixing it with (really well spoken) German. I didn't want to be rude by staring, but this was a once in a lifetime experience and I couldn't for the life of me look away. staring is not always a bad thing, because maybe people are just fascinated by you. ;)
way to old to be on youtube :P (28) bollywood movies were really big in germany from 1998 till 2007. and i was so obsessed, it was unhealthy. shahrukh khan was all over my room, i was learning hindi in an afternoon school and i pressured my best friend in a hootchy-kootchy-dance class. yeah, teenagers are weird.
+Not_A_Gamer life got in the way - I got really sick, so i had to pause school and everything else and after recovering i had to catch up on school and had a job to do at the same time. and for the life of me, i don't know what i did the last ten years beside studying and working @___@ but if i ever have enough time i will visit india and canada sometime... #lifegoals
But Bollywood sucks and most urban Indian people don't like Bollywood.
@@manney27how are you doing now
There is a German saying... "How you call it into the forest, it comes back!" This applies to many situations. And many people perceive the "directness" of us Germans as "impolite", but this is often not the case.
I have had many contacts in my life with people from other countries and with different "skin colour", both at work and in my private life, but I have never had any major problems with it. And certainly not because of their skin color.
asrsi I completely agree to this.
Ponga Pandit He really reminds me of the little fatty we met in Berlin. Half an hour spent listening to him about the Chinese folks with me was a pain.
Germans dont have social skills especially how to behave in a group. Their directness is actually rudeness
tony thomas
funny that you think that
direktness for us german is actually showing respect
what i mean with that is
for us beeting around the busch or lie to someone only because we dont want to hurt them is disrespectfull
most of us belive that when you dont say what you think in the first place it will get much worse
for example
istad of telling my mother "hay can we talk later?"
i say direkt" mom stop you are talking to loud even our neightbors can hear what you say please lower your voice"
I do that because i care about her when i dont tell her that shes talking to loud and she do that at the supermarket or somewhere else..the cinema for example then that would be an uncomfortable situation for all people there
other example's
"outch that tone was screwed up"
" you grammar .....not on point"
it may be sounds rude and unfriendly but it isnt
wit basicly means work at that
it means we care about you
and no gift above 50€ this critmast mean no gift above 50€ this critmast
we say this color dosent suit's you instad of "try a other t shirt" because we dont want our beloved people to buy something that wont suite them when we are not around
You can talk directly to you mom or call her name instead of Mom/Mummy. That is your issue. At work place or University, to say things in a polite way is a sign of well-cultured people. If you want to see it just go to France/Britain or Switzerland. Swiss people say Germans are too direct. If you go to a German bakery and ask do you have this bread? Standard answer would, ´No, we dont have it´. You can put the same thing in a different way, ´I am sorry, we dont have it´. German directness may be polite in Germany, but not in 99% of other countries in the world! Customer service in Germany is very bad. If you go to a supermarket and ask something they will always answer you back in an unfriendly manner with an emotionless serious face!
Having this "racism" label in your head all the time can be very dangerous. When you expect racism you will probably experience "racism". I have met immigrants who, whenever they were rejected or not treated well always blamed it on racism. The real reason was probably completely different.
real reason was them being losers. u know its true ;ddd
True btw are you from Germany? If yes I got a question for you
JustI478 not true. Most of the time it’s racism. Germans are not too open.
Whole heartedly agree. The West or the Left leaning Academia which is operated by the LEFT thrive on division, they adore placing RACISM in the heads of young minds. Those who constantly think about racism or any other thought; will fulfill that prophecy. Example: If you always talk about how bad tail gators are in your city and that you always experience this when driving, you're creating your own reality and thus it seems everyone is tailgating out and about. Its as though you're looking for what you are thinking about.
@@australiasydney6227 Nonsense! Racism is REAL and is not a creation by the victim.
In some cultures it is considered rude if you don't have a 30 minute chat with whoever you are talking to, before you actually state your problem.
I've noticed this with Americans in particular.
They probably perceived the caretaker as rude because he didn't go "How are you? How was your day? Blah blah blah" but jumped right at the problem... which is rather typical German behaviour.
I've noticed that a lot of German culture is actually based on not wasting other people's time. It explains so many things: The directness, the lack of empty small talk, the super-speed cashiers, etc.
Yeah, that's true! Idk about the other students' individual experiences, so I'm not going to judge them. But yeah, the politeness standard is very different: I am actually actively annoyed by people who do smalltalk before they tell me what they actually want, so I try to don't waste other people's time either!
But there ofc is actual racism here, too. There are, for example, statistics that show that people with arabic/muslim names have a lower chance at being invited to job interviews or finding a flat. A lot of that is subconscious bias and no active hatret, but it is still real and has a noticable effect on people's lifes.
I think it might also be a 'class' think on top of that. Not just that the caretaker might have actual reason to be in a bad mood if he's doing all the work their and nobody values it and then is called 'rude', 'cold' or even 'racist' ... But I also think that those characteristics you named that are true for most germans really are mostly so for working class people. that might be a complete stereotype but I grew up as the daughter of academics and I get the feeling that working class people are a special kind of people: even more honest and direct. Maybe ... 'less posh' you could say. I don't mean that in a negative way or anything but that's my experiance. Also my experiance with most caretakers I've met so far. They are local people who speak the local dialect, alltogether nice people, I get along with most of them ... but whatever 'stereotype' you might have that applies to people from a certain region does even more so for them :D And if you're not used to not only the 'german culture' but more so the 'local culture' that might come as a bit of a shock... even more so when most of your newly learned german flies out of the window, because they talk in heavy dialect.
Ikr?!? When I was in Austria, I had such great interactions with Austrians. I had this thing in my head that Austrians would be rude n racists but this impression was shattered the day I reached there. Honestly, people are wayyyy better than we think we are. There may be 1% of the population who may be discriminating, but hey, even Indians themselves are.🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I have an job offer at Austria and I was really cautious about the racism thing and your comment kinda made me feel good ✌🏼
We older immigrants went through a lot more than newcomers, we had it rough as NRI students in the 80-90s…life is much better now for you guys
I have to admit, that seeing the title of the video, i expected you talking about negative experiences. That much for prejustice... I'm glad you haven't. I wish you all the best and that your experiences here stay that good.
If this comforts you: Rude housekeepers are an experience EVERYONE makes from time to time, no matter which nationality or race. Many are frustrated because they do not feel their work is valued. They just cleaned the floor and someone throws paper on it. He has just repaired something, and someone has broken it again. In the company I work (German, 55 years old) people joke that you have work on your relationship with the boss - and with the caretaker.
Smile at him, tell him he did a great job, and you will have a friend for life.
So, I believe it is also about "class", not only race. I often see that people with higher education behave arrogant towards those who have a less well paid job. I am not talking about you, but you may see the result from many bad experiences he made.
Nice video that makes me wonder if I treat those guys always the way they deserve.
wait until you start applying for jobs. I have PhD from a german Uni, coming from Asia as well, got 2 scholarships (for my bachelor & master), got rejected mostly during document screening. It's sad, i got my bachelor from the best uni in my country, master from top 10 uni in another country, and a phd from a german uni with magna cum laude. I have a job now, but compared to my german husband (not even bachelor degree, took him 2 applications and thats it), it took me a LOT of applications to land a job. Well that's my experience dealing with implicit racism (which is the worst kind of racism - in my opinion). You might be able to avoid this if your doing your PhD in computer science / engineering though, or if you stay in academics. And i have C1. After seeing how easy it was for my husband to get a decent job, I am sure that these rejections are mainly because my last name doesnt sound german.
My wife is Indian, I‘m German. My wife has been living here since 2010. I asked her once, if she has ever made experience with racism in Germany. Answer: „not a single time!“
lautbreak294 wenn du in ostdeutschland lebst erlebst du es im westen eher nicht
she has not told you about it yet.... give it time
sag mir bitte, wo in Deutschland ihr wohnt, ich habe die Nase voll von dummen Ossis. Ich kann sie nicht mehr verkraften und habe mir entschieden einzuziehen
Lol you are pathetic
Immigrant women in general face less racism than men as men are sitting at the power structures and decision making positions. As an indian man, I faced racism when I have searched for an appartment or wanted to enter a diskotheque (my clothes were quite fine).My friends have face a lot of racism in East Germany.
I love to hear that your experience with our people is so positive. You are welcome in Germany, nice to have you here.
Germany is probably the least racist country in the world because of the Nazi times. Countys like France, England, Africa and asian countrys are way more racist
Light Yagami France and England aren’t racist. In England people of non-native ethnicities find it much easier to get well paid, academic jobs, and find it easier to climb the career ladder than in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria etc.
Racist european countries are the former communist ones like Hungary, Poland, Macedonia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Albania, Ukraine, Croatia etc.
@@folk2630 yeah the whole balkan is so fucking racist 😬😬😬😬😬 I met a guy from Croatia he is so freaking racist 😬😬😬😬
@@Irgendwelche5 I hope that's a joke....
@@TariQ-nx3uz No its not. Do you have any arguments against it? If not, have a good day
I'm not shure if there's actual research about this topic out there, but I'd guess hostility towards strangers is mostly directed at men. Women, especially if young and pretty like you aren't seen as a stereotypical "dangerous foreigner" (= threatening) per default even by people with strong prejudices. Also, you don't stick out too much in terms of looks. I'm not saying Germany is a nightmare for people who do but it certainly helps.
agreed
I also agree with you like 90 percent. But when you try to go in some clubs , if it's a big club they won't allow you inside as they think you will misbihave inside . You always need some germans with you and frankly speaking white skin. It happend to me 3 times. I was pushed by a drunk German guy when I was trying to sit next to him in a party after I was tired and needed to sit but his girlfriend was upset that he did that. Normally germans are sweet but 10 percent still think they are better than you. 😥
I'm an original German and I can say about myself that you're awesome pretty with your skin color 👍❤️
🤮🤮🤮
@@lockeagamemnon6847 u racist sir
@@lockeagamemnon6847 Thats what yo mama said when she saw saw you after your birth .
I have a very dark skin colour by myself and don't have to fight with racism.
Not much longer. And I'm a German.
Every Turkish German I met , feel uncomfortable in germany, ummm I wonder why ...
My girlfriend is from east Asia, and when she came to Germany her experiences where quite similar to yours. Only problems she actually got started in the last couple of years. Not with native Germans though, but with young, arab looking guys, who would hit on her on the street, in busses or trains. At night time hours she practcally can't get out alone anymore.
We live in a bigger city (Cologne) though, which probably has more of these people than where you live, I still wonder if you also made experiences like that?
Well I am not a born German myself. Anyway our personal experience with young, arab looking males here in Germany is that they are overly aggressive, rude and show not much respect to anybody outside their groups. That is my personal experience. Can't see how that makes me a racist in your eyes, unless you are the kind of person who just labels anyone a racist without actually knowing what that term means.
Also what about you. Are you living in Germany? If yes, what were your personal experiences with these kind of people?
Sualtam funny how even a "girl" from a "less criminal" origin talks about racism in Germany.. i still love your social schizophrenia dude! Just google up racism in Germany or search it down on TH-cam and u ll see that most videos about live racism experiences in germany are all reported from "less aggressive" outsiders. To resume up: most racism in Germany Videos on TH-cam are from people that are no arabs.. But hey "there is no such thing as racism in Germany".
I myself aren't arab but I am seeing how some of them are being treated at the university.. Talk about open-mindedness!
You see it s really shitty what happened back there in cologne and I really condamn that but what is shittier is to be socially schizophrenic.. It helps nobody
Btw: Spanish, Greeks, Italians and French from south are extremely loud too.. But it doesn't seem to bother anyone.. Poor world it has become a creepy place!
Peace out ;)
*+Clark Kent* Are German police statistics "racist" too? No, pieces of shit like you ensure that the word racism will lose any meaning, thanks to the constant misuse.
Sualtam most crimes dont do arabs is balkan and north africa
@@hoobymarburg167 I don't know why arabs would even complain about racism! Just ask anyone from Pakistan, India, Phillipines etc how their lot is treated in any of the Arab countries. Arabs are literally so full of themselves that they consider other nationalities being inferior to their own. I wouldn't say there are no good traits in Arabs; in fact sometimes I am amazed by their generosity and kindness. It feel like they juggle two personalities, one being of kindness whereas other of sheer superiority over all other nations. I would go as far to say that most, if not all, problems in these countries are because of the nation actually looking down on not only non-muslims, but Muslims from other countries as well. Whether it is because of their affluence or because of them being the direct descendants of the "most superior" religion Islam, is debatable.
I love hearing this after so many years of public school only teaching us about Germany in WWII. I’m in love with the country and excited to continue learning the language and possibly study abroad there as well! Thanks for sharing your story!
@Nikita: Everybody has a different experience and you are among the lucky ones!
It is true everywhere that there is an existence of mixture of people or rather mixture of personalities! Racism is not about only skin colour! Racism has different ways to come out!
Some 'German' behaviour from my experience.
1) Germans think they are the superior most race even among the Europeans. My colleague was Italian. Brightest and excellent in the group.
All the time I have the feeling the other two German colleagues were talking about him and there was a considerable amount of effort to represent his negative sides to the Boss. I have especially heard talking negatively about 'Italy and the Italian people' during coffee time. Germans can't take that any other country people coming to Germany and picking all the fruits!
2) Germans find fault among others and define it as 'Criticism'. If any other other country people or other race do that, Germans would define it as 'Gossip'.
3) Germans can't think about there are the existence of other developed countries and/or races as well other than European countries.
I told my Colleague that I went to Japan and the trains do not even run 10 sec late. My colleague replied that those were very expensive and also started commenting on population dynamics and non-expressive nature of Japanese people. Well, being/for an Indian, Deutsch Bahn is not cheap either!!!
4) Now, I come to student house experience. We had a common and shared Fridge. Once I was on a trip and when I came back from my trip, I saw my name stating ' Sarika, please clean the Fridge'. I asked him why he has written my name over the Fridge when I was not even at the student house for the last 10 days. He replied 'It is not your dirty India that you keep your water in the fridge. You can take the cold water from the tap directly!' I was surprised by his way of words toward me just because I kept one bottle of water in the Fridge. He did not need to use the word 'dirty' in the entire sentence. After two months, two other students came, one from USA and one from Spain. I was glad that these two people always supported me and protected me from the German Racism. I also understand that my Spanish and the American friends were educated and hold a different view. So I forgive that German chap who has never been out of his country.
5) Contrary to my 4th statement, education doesn't define mentality. I have worked with educated Germans. It was a mix of people but I was surprised when the Chief says that 'Dresden is the Indian province in Germany with a bundle of cheap people!'. Then looked at me saying 'Please do not take it as despicable'. I really do not know what he meant by that. I left that group within few months.
I am sorry to write all these but I am glad that you had a very good experience in Germany.
Sorry about your experiences, there is a ton of racism in germany and europe in general and they are in denial about it
Be strong girl.... But Indians are most intelligent human on the earth 🤗🤗🤗
@sovereignty rules cool but I'm not reading all that
Stfu girl
@@Deepika2.0 ofcourse that's why India is still under development, dirty, poverty high, population exploding
You definitely have picked up a German accent! The giveaway was when you said CV as "seewee", :D
Your skin color is beautiful. People look at you because you're attractive. Don't worry.
@Paritosh Jadhav wtf dude get a life
Do u see Indians themselves r the most Racist
I worked in Erfurt Germany in IBM it was THE biggest racist shit Town ever ... never ever again! The barber put gloves on his hand to wash my hair lol!
ohh that's mean but maybe they wash everyone's hair like that? don't u think?
@@manisha1603 nah because I went to another one, a guy he was probably gay and he touched washed my hair like it should without gloves, and this was not in the corona times.
@@istvanjuhasz3009 i do feel sry but ru calling it racist just cause of this experience cause maybe the guy not do prefer to wear gloves and the other one do!!
@@manisha1603 I got another experiences in Erfurt. No worries.
Everyone has a different experience. I am happy that your experience was positive.
My standard face expression is grumpy. When someone enters the tram I'll probably look at them. They might think I'm angry or don't like them, but I just want to check my surroundings. Also, I might look a tad bit longer if the person is good looking, but I try to avoid staring or making a "hola chica!" face.
Same here
Thank you very much for a great video! You handled a sensitive topic with great care. You did admit that anyone of us can fall victim to prejudice at some point in our lives -- we are all just human beings. Thanks for a lesson in humility and humanity.
Thank you Ella. I'm glad you liked it.
And she telling that because her husband is german.....my two freinds had face racism too often in germany and even they cried for getting that rude behaviour.....please don't misguide other peoples just because of your german husband......other people will suffer a lot plz🙏🙏
Nice video. I just stumbled over your channel and It's quite funny for me to hear that you studied only 40 km away from my hometown. My cousin works at the university library in Kaiserslautern. It's a small world :-)
Yes, it is.
Can it be that you already have a German accent? Funny... :D
Not sure, could be.
Albert Kotzki get off it. When you live somewhere for more than 3 years as she has, you start getting that accent. I just spend 6month in Japan for a semester abroad and my accent started changing. That's just what happens when you live somewhere 😧Also where is that a sob story...? It's just a normal experience story.
Same happens to Germans who lived in USA for 2 years. Takes few weeks to get rid of the American accent being back in Germany then. Schwarzenegger is worst example. He speaks English with German/Austrian accent and German with American accent, though he is fluent in both languages.
What? She has a definite Indian accent when she speaks English.
this is a definite Indian accent

This is true..... Germans are really helpful than Indians. I have myself experienced the same. In India people won't leave their station to help out others. Thank God everything was all well! All the very best to you!
The previous comment was an appreciation rather than a criticism towards one's country.
First of all, India should feel proud for people like you, who have started finding such basic answers, which pushes them to find the ground reality. And finally such people can do, can achieve something on global front for what India can take proud in true sense.
Our glorious culture, the message of truth and non-violence, multi-religious people makes me proud to be an Indian. If you travel through the country you will find different people of different religions, but every heart gives the same hospitality. India is a country of love, care and affection. In today’s world of selfishness, we in India still respect our elders, care for our mates and traditional culture. The pledge “ All Indians are Brothers and Sisters” is believed and followed by all of us. Thus, I feel very proud to be an Indian and lucky too.
Here are some reasons that will surely make people aware about what our country is all about :
1. ENVIRONMENT RICH WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS:
India’s environment is rich with many different flavours. Beautiful Mountains, Graceful Rivers, Aggressive Desert and Dangerous Wildlife to name a few. The world praises its natural beauty and that’s the reason tourism in India is the largest service industry with the contributions of 8.78% of the total employment in the country.
2. LAND WITH EMOTIONS:
Being an Indian the emotional bonding are much more. India is rich with emotion filled moments; rather a speech by a politician, a scold by a teacher or care by a mother. A feeling at home on Sunday or daily workload at office, No water supply one day or unclean roads, List is endless. We Indians are no doubt rich with variety of emotions. “Tabhi toh Sochte hai ‘Dil Se’ karte hai “Dil se’.”
3. YOUR LIFESTYLE, YOUR CHOICE:
India have a flavour of the amazing diversified culture from all over the world. The Indian culture has been rigid and that’s why it’s surviving with pride in Modern era. An Indian Family is rich with every kind of people, A Grandfather with Dhoti-Kurta, a father with formal and a grandson following latest trends.
4. BEST TELECOM MARKET:
India is the fastest Growing telecom market in the world and has the lowest call rates on earth. So here the connectivity is better than many other developed countries of the world. Indian Telecom analysis (2008-2012) says that Indian telecom industry has undergone a tremendous change during the past few years.
5. MEDIA, THE FOURTH PILLAR:
India has the largest number of news channel in the world and largest newspaper market in the world. Our Free Media is a largely asset and the greatest achievement for our country. Media serves as the fourth pillar or like a family member to us. From the local issue like a chain snatching to the national issue like Lokpal bill or international updates of Olympics, our media is always with us.
6. THE AMAZING BOLLYWOOD:
Bollywood normally termed as Hindi Cinema with about 400 films every year is the largest centre of film production in the world. We Indians are like in Love with Movies. Fourteen Million Indians go for a movie almost daily. Although, movies made in America have edged into India and American and British theatres showing Bollywood Movies on a more and more frequent basis. Indian Movies are day by day becoming more and more famous around the world.
7. NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE ACT OR NREGA:
The Indian Job Guarantee Scheme came into existence on August 25, 2005 is the largest ever-public employment scheme visualized till date.
8. SECULARISM:
India has been declared a secular state by its own constitution. Here we can see different religions and castes like no other place in the world. Together locating the temples and mosques. A friends group is rich with different castes and religions, which proves us how the cultures and castes of India diversify.
9. MOUTH-WATERING CUISINE:
Indian cuisine is rich with wide variety of regional natives to India. This cuisine varies because of soil types, climates, occupations and influenced by cultural values and religion. Our Spices, vegetables and fruits are rich with mouth-watering tastes and it’s also the fragrance which creates magic. The variety is immense, colourful, aromatic and inexpensive even at top rated hotels. No wonder, it’s the third most popular cuisine in the world and nor it will be surprising when it becomes the first.
10. INDIAN WEDDING:
In India, there is no greater event in a family than a wedding. Wedding in India are beautifully celebrated like nowhere in the world. We dance; we sing and celebrate it like a national festival. It symbolizes our tradition, our culture and heritage. They extend to a week celebration and filled with emotions, glamour and glazes. Various events bring Chuckle and laughter while some other makes we cry. They vary from region to region because of our diversified traditions. Now this has set a trend in foreign countries too to marry in royal way like Indians do.
Let's not fight guys.... Let's not argue on this topic. Everyone has his/her opinion! It's absolutely fine. It's good to understand and getting aware about various things rather than criticising each other's country. Every place has good players as well as bad. It's not just in India, infact every place on this earth has positives and negatives. But that doesn't make the whole country to be blamed for. It's just a few stupid people who promote such things like non violence, dowry etc. True! I agree to this. But that doesn't make you forget the achievements and the great contribution of one's own country.... It's the way how you perceive things..... For me I see more great contributions rather than the negatives. And I am sure that you people now agree to this.
Thank you so much people for taking interest in this discussion. And let's be the one from the crowd and not the part of the crowd and stop arguing!
There is a difference between domestic violence against women and crime rates due to immigration. A refugee will not do domestic violence against women in your house, you primitive Digga.
Yeah they do leave their station for strangers until the stranger is 👧
I agree with you
I am living in Germany from 24 years. Yes here in Germany lot of racism in daily life. Not direct but you can feel it .if u r a sensitive person. U can feel that u r not welcomed.
So why you still there?

You are lying. If you didn't experience any racism then don't make up fake stories. Just accept that you are a racist person yourself and projecting and being toxic towards others.
I'm glad you had good experiences in Germany. You can find black sheep everywhere in the world but in general we always try to make people feel welcome
Coming Frankfurt Germany in September... 😊😊 i watch all of your videos.. Good work girl
Thanks Ali. Safe travels.
I am so sad i was out from many times in party place in austria because my skin is from asia. I am also same like white people who love music and dance. My small story in austria. One night on friday i was in music bar dj. I was out and said never come back with red angry eyes. Now we Learn from past, Million of our grandfather and mother had killed due to racism .second world war was due to racism. Now learn lesson from past and live with love like same human family. We have differnt face color and culture but we are same human being mantally and physically. If we stay with love and peace it good for peace of mind and good for health too. If we stay with hate and anger it bad for health and it make our life more discomfort and it bring fear and stress. World peace be one.
You have picked up a slight German accent
Dont forget that staring and strange looks can simply be due to someone finding you beautiful or just lovely to look at...
The word "racism" is frequently used incorrectly. The correct word that should be used in most cases is "Tribalism."
btw. i noticed that many expats/vbloggers tend to generalize a bit to much their specific situation/location. Berlin or Hamburg is rather mixed and global. People like you are in those cases not considered as foreign in general but as a normal and everyday appearance. It was in most cases a projection if believing otherwise ...
4% of Germans have a turkish background and pretty much the same skin colour as you. We have gotten used to them so I guess most Germans don't feel too uncomfortable. Also you're quite nice to look at anyway.
By the way, you're a smart woman, a phd student even. Don't do this hashtag shit, please.
Hugh Jazz türken sehen nicht wirklich so aus aber verstehe was du meinst
bullshit.... there are very stupid people in Germany who dont realize it is 2018...and still think they live in the third Reich... that is the problem with germany and germans...call a spade a spade...and admit that there are fools amongst you.... Heiko Maas said it right.... Germans condone evil....
Lol a phd in Germany let alone Europe means nothing at all.
Turks are not dark as this woman but yeah they are darker than Germans.
I totally agree with you, I've lived in Munich for about two years and never encountered racism.... I've also lived in other parts of the world like the UK and Australia and definitely encountered it there......
You mentioned towards the beginning a story of an Indian student claiming to be rejected for an internship for "racist reasons". I can easily see a factual basis for that: a particular practice Indian students are reknowned for (more than other nationalities) is to apply for internships in a scattergun approach - apply everywhere, and hope that one of the many will succeed. From the POV of the people the students apply to this is bordering on spam, and they treat these applications accordingly. Thing is: if you are from India your application may automatically be seen as "one of those", simply because noone wants to spend a lot of time separating the genuine from the spammy.
Hi, I hope you are not offended if I say that the word is spelt "renowned", although I think "reknowned" makes a lot more sense.
That was not the case. Woman Professor rejected him as he is from India, where rapes happened. That was racist!en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig_University_internship_controversy
German racism exists. But it's usually not about skin color.
Sinista What are you referring to?
james jamas About cultural racism. Not how people look like.
Sinista It does exist, but it exists everywhere in the world. Its not a problem in germany. There are some individuals that are racist, but as a whole germany is not racist at all.
I don't think she is dark she is light skinned the problem comes when you're a dark skinned person
She is not light skin.. I can say she is brown by just looking at her from a meter distance
Well you are pretty lucky. I have been in Germany for 17 years now...in the eastern part. Here it is quite noticable even when it is not everyone . I speak German fluently so I hear what they say to each other, even directly infront of me...referrig to foreigners as "kanacken" or implying that they are not welcome...BUt "Ofcurse not meaning me!" because somehow I am the exception because I learned German and work full time and come from the USA. Other countries can have it much more difficult here
I was actually scared by my friends who kept saying that about racism in Germany but actually my experience is different,i havent experienced racism,am glad
Hair, face, teeth, demeanor, language, accent, one glimpse and almost everybody will notice that you have a fine background + beauty + youth....
Come as a round headed, dark skinned south Indian girl in a sari, lacking grace or esteem you will meet a wall of resistance.
The German racism starts the moment someone looks like being not integrable or not worth to integrate. Wear a hijab just to find out how Germany can be and will be. You will not need more than one day to sense tons of it.
Lots of Sri Lankan very dark skinned ladies refugees integrated very well in Germany so your theory doesn’t always apply
More than 1 million Italians live in Germany. Italians are brown-skinned people like you. I think they are used to people with different colors.
Don´t pay attention, how other people talk about someone. But pay attention how someone talks abaout other people.
I'm German and I must say that we aren't racism. We just don't like lazy people. Everyone who is in our opinion lazy isn't good and is just living from the land. The teachers, professors and bosses aren't racism either. Of course they like students, who make their work direct more than students who are lazy, and there the 'racism' begins. German people are taught to be diligent at every time. Most foreigners aren't so diligent, and thats something germans don't like. The 'lazy people' from another country then think that we are racism, but we aren't.
@Paritosh Jadhav lol, was going to say just that
No need for this all. Just one sentence is enough that Germany DO NOT have racism at all. I am in Germany for more than 7 years and I like everything about Germany. More racism you will find in your backyard. You know what I mean.
Did you also consider that people look at you in a "strange/certain way" because you're attractive? If I had seen and looked at you, you might as well have gotten a strange feeling because I'm a dork and weird with people :D
Well thats the german humour I guess
with your face, you wonder why people want to look at you? :) (just want to compliment you)
and yes, it sounds like you've been living longer than 5 years in Germany. Your accent is almost like you were born here :)
Hi Nikita, thank you for sharing your experiences which I find encouraging. I'm a biological german myself and I believe that your experiences shall and will be the normal case. But we cannot ignore the other side. There actually is racism and intolerance existing in Germany, especially against muslim people, but more in a general, diffuse way. That means, that large groups of people would say they don't want to have muslim people in the country, they should go away, but they would exclude their muslim neighbors or acquaintances because they know they're fine people. This makes racism more abstract but nonetheless it exists and there are many occurrences of verbal and physical violence against different looking people. But I will hope that the majority will behave like the guys you met in germany. Good luck to you.
Racism against muslims? Well that escalated quickly. How did a religion become a race?
I was also becoming a doctor but somehow I have to left so I am becoming a doctor in Spain if you ever visited Spain tell me I will be there 😊
You're video was very positive and encouraging, it was really good to hear your point of view. Just out of curiosity, I'd love to know what you studied and what field you are in :)
Applied computer science now she is doing her phd
starting life in Germany is just far away from the expectation, you just need to be resistant to the negative energy and put ya head up
1. tbh you dont look "brown" in the sense of "must be foreign" you get away as european. i dontthink there is much racism from one european country towards another. negative stereotypes, yes, but racism? i dont think so. the type of racism that happens in europe is usually directed at non europeans. mostly against people from north africa, middle east and africa in general. i think its mostly a mix of fear and cultural differences. i think india is on that list too because of incompatible cultur (aggressive behavior) and fear. an example that "proves" that is for example chinese people. no one fears or hates chinese, they have a reputation of being polite and peacefull.
2.universitys and young educated people in gerneral are very open and i believe that is true everywhere in the world.
3. you are a pretty woman that may influence on how young male react towards you. iam pretty sure i would have done the same as the guy in your train story, but iam also 100% sure that there is no possible way that i would have bothered to even consider such an action for a guy.
necrionos how is India on the list for aggressive behaviour????? china is the one trying to take over Asian countries. we are peaceful people.
china is aggressive as a country, against other countrys. basically like russia ( and the usa) but more local. and china is aggressive in a sense of its government against its own population when it comes to individualism or minoritys. so its government is very aggressive, the country as entity is aggressive.
but if i walk on the street and a group of chinese people crosses my path i consider that situation even less dangerous than a random group of people from my own city. i never heard anything about chinese people being violent
if i walk on the street and i see a group of (male) indians the first thing that comes in my mind are those frequent rape news. the second thing that comes to my mind are probably stereotypes like a general different view on the role of woman and men , religious issues a more physical and loud way to solve issues and such stuff.
personally i consider a male indian person as a possible threat. not as much as a north african or arabian looking guy but way above "normal".
it may be just feelings or incomplete / onesided informations but that is the way it is.
and a chinese, kroean, japanese person does not trigger such thoughts ( to be honest iam not sure if i would be able to distinguish just from a quick look so iam throwing them together ). i dont see a single chinese or a group of them as a possible threat. in every day situations they behave generally even more civilized than european people.
as i said that may come from missinformation or onesided news reports. and i wouldnt even travel to china because i consider the country itself as dangerous. but i wouldnt travel to india too because i consider the people dangerous or incompatible with how i used to live.
if i spend the whole summer in the sun, my skin colour becomes pretty brown, but if i would go to india or an arabic country you couldstill point at me and say "thats a north european guy" even if we had almost the same skin colour. the same goes for southern european people, they usually have a pretty healthy skin colour, but no one would refer to them as "brown".
i couldnt even give you a list of things that make you "brown" as in "clearly not european". her general apearance does not look foreign to me. i also watch the videos from this "Bharat in Germany" guy (which are pretty good too). he has the same skin colour but he apearance says clearly "brown".
i would go so far and say "brown" has not much to do with skin colour and is more a word for "foreign", "apearently not one of us"
maybe i am not very differing or not looking at details or not knowing enough details. i look at someone and either he/she "feels" foreign/different or not, feels like either a threat or not and either that person has something i am interested in or not. i am not interested in people with 3 "not".
also there are turks (or more likely kurds in my city) who look foreign and others i couldnt identify as turks if they had a name that i could pronounce.
I don't agree. Germans are racists also towards other people. Such as people from east Asia. Calling them fidgies for example. Or towards so called gipsies. And so many more. Of course not all germans.
there is a certain lowkey racism/nazism in German. It have been working in HR for years in different companies in Germany aber I can clearly see that people from certain countries and cultures with more "European" sounding names are being preferred over another.
i had a very bad experience in Germany, 3 times i had to move the house , because of hate crime. and also 7 years i suffer at work place. they used to call me Kamel treiber and scheiss Auslaender. but it does not mean Germans are bad. now i live in England.
that was a very clickbait title
Well I was physically attacked in berlin!! and I dont have that good response and experience in Germany to be honest!!
Oh no, what happened to you?
This type of incident has happened to me in Delhi even though I am Indian from north east
So in other words "My Racism Story in Germany" is no racism at all. Your title is just misleading clickbait. Awful.
Nikita, i think racism is more felt by black skined people than browm skined. If possible consider this scenario and try to make a video on it.
This girl babbles on never gets to the point
Nice video! I'm glad to hear that your stay in Germany has been welcoming and pleasant so far. :-)
It is more the way you behave and/or "blend in" / approach people than you are black, brown, asian or whatever. It also depends on how you define "racist" or "nazi". There is a big cultural and/or (maybe better) ideological war going on in western society but especially in germany and the power of "wording" is used by the left against others. Everyone who has open eyes and walks through bigger/university cities can see it in the streets and in the toilets. Also the migration crisis has its part in it.
I don`t know that much about india but as far as i was told it is a multicultural society. I don`t know how exactly it is organised but i think there are still borders (and if only in their heads) and conflicts. Maybe you can explain some things about this.
I am a graduate dentist and I was planning on doing my postgrad in Germany. But recently I came across many racism videos on youtube. I am brown so its kinda tough decision whether I should apply or not. I know racism is everywhere.
Just apply and you'll experience good things on your own😇
You will pass as a european any time of the day. In Bavaria there are natives which are darker than you. Also dark skin is seen as attraktiv, hence all this solar studios. To call your self brown, what's the point?
She is indian and Indians are brown
More often than not a lot of people from India accuse people of being 'racist' when these guys are just not qualified or are suitable to the given position. I'm from Bangalore but doing my bachelor's in TUM and never have I ever faced any racial DISCRIMINATION in any academic or professional situation. One of my cousin studying in the US east coast and now living in Paris, even he says he never felt alienated or discriminated against. There might be discrimination somewhere sometime but definitely not the most prevalent behaviour.
It doesnt matter if you are brown. You are pretty 😍😍😍😍😍
thats actually racist lmao
Your so lucky that you've had a pleasant time in Germany whereas my own ethnic people are very prejudice against me.
Your skin color is absolutely beautiful, anyone saying differently is obviously of bad taste.
I lived about two years as a white person in Ruanda. And my experience is racism is a human problem not a white problem. People of color has the same racist mindsetting if they are the majority.
Tribalism is also a sort of racism.
Everyone can be victim of racism. Not only people of colour. It's a minority problem. And people of colour are a minority here. So they often are victims of sterotypes.
I have some friends in Germany which are from asia or africa and more than a half of them reported racist experiences. Sometimes experiences in a subtle way.
You brought it to the point. Thank you for this nice video.
nice Video. thanks for sharing your experience. Good to hear, my home country is better than its reputation :-))
It's all fun until you are studying, once you start looking for job and start your career you will understand what racism is really like.
German only looks for talent not looks
It's very racist there.
Phew! I'm so glad your experience with us was that good. I would have hated my fellow Germans if they had misbehaved :)
Unfortunately there are new right wing tendencies here which every decent German feels ashamed for, but the majority of us is quite humanistic and polite.
#WelcomeToGermany
Germans never misbehaves. Well, just if you trigger them to much, they are known for very heavy wars.
Just don't spit on them, be nice and show respect and you'll be fine. Insult them, rape them or exploit them... may god have mercy on you.
Oh... und nichts gegen die AfD, wenn du sie nicht verstehst. Die hat sich nämlich vor allem durch den letzteren Teilsatz etablieren können.
Streunekater You sir, you have my respect.
Deutschland ist best.
I need the name of this "Hausmeister", because he is the only one in that profession who was labled "friendly" in Germany, never heard or experienced such a miracle before and I'm a native German, living in my Country since 58 years. However, nice Video, thanks for sharing your experiences.
you successfully wasted 10 minutes
How did you acquire such a weird accent being from Jaipur.. it’s not Indian , not American not British or German .. jus difficult to place it
Yup weird rajasthanis are in general really bad at English.
In Germany we have a phrase.... Wie man in den Wald hineinruft so schallt es zurück. Thats the whole thing all over the world... and you are shouting lovely.
Well my father is Italian and my grandmother from mother side is American native and here in Germany when people see my mom or my father they always say HOW COME THEY ARE YOUR PARENTS THEY ARE WHITE AND YOU NOT .
oh you made a video which is past- 10mins , Great Nikita, sad i missed to see the day posted, being prominent subscriber of ur vlogs sorry i missed it..but again appreciate the 10min mark u hit yaar..
Staring is a big thing in germany :D I think it's somehow considered rude to don't look at people... like not being aware of them. I do not like it either but you get used to it.
Lol it's kinda weird that being a rajasthani you are talking about racism in Germany. I have been to rajasthan and faced racism on daily basis by several shades darker rajasthanis too. You should introspect about your thoughts on racism in Germany. Please stop with that hashtag thing it looks dumb.
Racism would'nt appear in any part of the world accept in India. The mainland people being racist to the North East Indians.Its a shame to Indians complaining about racism being faced in other foreingn contries while the indians are being racist to indians #North East people.
As far as I'm concerned, germans are "known" for their staring. I myself do it probably too without realizing it. But it's more the fascination than a "bad" staring. And very often it has nothing to do with the color of your skin. However many of us white people find the darker skins very attractive. And old guys like me still like to look at beautiful young women like you. We just don't remember why. =;-)
Hahahah u r cute grandpa
Hahahaha
A great topic from your perspective. I also do face similar situations here in Romania. But oh well, you need to keep your head high and go your own way, right?
Excellent story telling and sharing your experience. Hash tag is unique #.
My son is there, living there for last 6 years. Never felt racism. Germans are very helpful when asked for. Too punctual, civic sense very high. They are disciplined
Looking at people is a secret hobby of mine.
Germany is a 100 % racist country than america because i also lived here for 5 years and i really feeling bad when all means most german people staring always when your skin colour is different from them and in small towns mostly racist people in germany and i heard differentl people from different countries that they also face racism
Hum, I can't say for sure about Germany, but here in Norway (a culture that's very similar in a lot of ways) racism differs quite a lot from racism in many other countries in the way that you get little of things like race motivated violence or other forms of overt racism.
Instead what tends to happen is more low key racism.
People having a higher threshold to hire people with a non-norwegian sounding name for instance.
I'm brown in summer I'm English and white and proud of it I'm not racist but believe that each race has its place in its own country
badferrit badferrit well indians don't have one race,Some are ethically/genetically close to Europeans(Mostly north),some to Asians(mostly North eastern), Some to Austroid(mostly south) So how to decide where they belong? and even Europeans have Sub races in them, so who will decide where they belong? I am an indian, ethnically close to Lithuanians and central Asian where do i belong? :/
well i got your concerns about Europe, but it's because of "Mass refugee immigration" not Legal immigration
does that mean that the white Americans should go back to Europe then? O__o
Makes no sense at all , shut up
You are a lovely human being and so pretty to boot. Thanks for making this video.
Unimportant neglectable people will be ignored, interesting people are noticed. In germany staring at people is not intended as an offence, but as a sign of interest or even as a compliment.
german staring is legendary and is not related to race bc everyone gets stared at all the time xD
I love that painting
I'm from Germany and we are not racist people.
I am litte irritated about the some reactions of this video. Of course there is racism in Germany. Every country has its 10-15% idiots. I need no one to tell me this. If you go with open eyes through your city, then you will see all sort of racism. So, I feel actually more comfortable, that Nikita did not made these bad experiences so far. There is no need for "You should go to other places to experience racism". What's the point of this? I was never beaten up -- Oh, then you should to places where this will happen.
agree why cant people be at peace man.
I think the people only looks at you because your so sweet looking.
