I'm brown Australian and faced more racism in my 2 years in Germany than my entire life in Australia, it got so bad being an inter racial couple my gf and I moved back to Australia. Everyone loves to point fingers at Australia for being racist but Australians are more accepting of racial differences than a lot of Europeans.
@@Leopold_van_Aubel I travelled to more than one European country and my experience was the same. Talking to other immigrants who've experienced the same in other European countries. My point stands.
@@emmasly123 Everyone has their own experiences. In my experience I experienced a lot of racism and hostility. Just because a place is diverse and has cultural festivals doesn't make it non racist.
I faced some pretty bad racism in Italy. Most people were nice but security guards would follow me around in the supermarkets when I would shop for groceries. One guard (who was an African origin man) stopped me and questioned me in Italian for 5 minutes straight till a Bangladeshi woman who spoke Italian defended me.
I’ve been living in Germany. And the German Staredown is extremely uncomfortable and stresses me out. I live in a small town, but it doesn’t get any better in bigger cities either. I’m constantly conscious about the stares and it annoys me more when they talk about me right in front of me. My German boyfriend did not understand that this is even a thing (now does!) Now I’ve learned to overcome this. ‘When in Rome be a Roman’ so I participate in the stare down these days until they are tired to staring at me.

@@adolfsatan6105 you are arguing in bad faith if you want to put English up there with any other language... English is the internationally recognized language of the world... try seeing the Germans in the middle east that DONT speak Arabic.. or the Germans over in Asia that don't speak asian... it's not fair to use America, Britain or any English speaking language as a foundation... also I find it funny that you say they speak English yet in most European countries they quite literally don't understand when you talk in English and reply in their own mother tongue
@@jokeruiner4481 I don’t care what language people speak in their homelands lmao, you wouldn’t have to attempt to speak English either if you stayed in your own country. In America English is the spoken language. Europeans respect that, third world leeches do not…
I kinda agree. I have lived in the US for several years and now in Germany. I think the 'German Stare' is a much debated topic among expats, but it is mostly out of curiosity. I live in a very international city in Germany, and I love visiting the beautiful small cities where sometimes people do stare, but when I talk to them they are very friendly, especially when you talk to them in German. Overall in my personal experience, the German people are more friendly towards immigrants than in the US.
Interesting. I always had the view that because Europe historically hasn't had that much immigration they have more negative attitudes compared to the US where immigration in the 20th century, largely did away with those fears
I have lived in both countries and my experience is quite the opposite. Might be due to the fact that I don't speak German but I did my high school and undergrad in the US so I was well integrated. Ger,mans are quite friendly but it takes a while for them to really open up to you.
@@hyderabadi1327 Yeah, they are a friendly bunch for sure. My point was back in the US its so easy to get along with random people. You can just strike up conversations with random people, you could just show up at a random party/bbq with a pack of beer and you're best friends in minutes lol. I am not sure if that's possible here but I haven't lived here long enough nor am I fluent in the language
The gypsies left India about 1000 years ago. They were forced to do so during the invasions by people like Mahmud of Ghazni, ghori, etc. A lot of them were taken as slaves to the middle Eastern slave markets as well. The Hindukush mountains got it's name because these gypsies ("romani" people) who were being taken as slaves were dying when they were taken across the mountains. Hindukush means Hindu Killer. Quite horrifying history. Even now, there's so much racism against Romani people and they're not being able to lift themselves back up at all.
They have defended Hinduism against the Islamic Sultans that came to North India. No Hardship was ever able to make them give up. It is a very complex History, and everyone should have their own Opinion.
I'm from Jamaica, living in Frankfurter. I can honestly say, i have faced racism. Whether at work, on public transportation or even in my own home. Everyone who is not a white German, faces racism. However black people such as Africans and African decendants, face the worse of it. Racism here in Germany is very difficult to spot because they do is so well. For example. I was on a bus, while living in Gießen. I was the only sitting where elders and disable folks should sit. I saw an elderly woman enter the bus, i immediately got up and went to another seat that was empty so that she could have her designated seat without any impediment. The old lady walked past the designated seat, and went to go sit beside another white German. There were other seats beside other people of colour. Many times I am on the train and the only one sitting in a row of seats while the rest of the seats are full. No one white sits in the row I am in. They go and stand or continue walking, looking for another seat. People of colour have no issue sitting next to or infront me. So I have started to actively sit beside or infront white Germans because I know how badly they don't want to.
@@3r8y8cKHdfkwei89 As a white man from an eastern europen country which did not have any colony (Czech republic) I have friends in Germany and I would say they don't care of anything from the colonies. Actually they see it the opposite way. I.e. that your countries got much more from the colonization than them. They organized your countries so you don't fight in neverending tribal wars as you did before colonization, speaking hundred different languages. They organized your society, they introduced industry, better agriculture, schools, education, democracy. So actually they still see you as not developed countries which have a big problem to keep the society on the level they introduced there. The colonization helped your countries much.
The irony is that you are prejudiced yourself by judging all Germans by your individual few experiences. This way it will never end. You can find as many black, asian, hispanic immigrants that will tell you they were welcomed and treated well. Its never black and white. Sorry for your experience but dont make the same mistake as this old lady.
@@lightup6751 at no point did I say all Germans are racist. I myself have met really nice people who don't see colour. What I did say is that racism is here, however it's usually in the form of micro aggression. And black people and brown people doo face it more than lighter skin foreigners would. That's just the reality world wide. In the face of racism, black people are at the for top of the list. It's quite evident throughout history, and it's quiet evident today.
I live in Austria … I faced racism from Ukrainians multiple times in Austria and without to Ukraine itself 🤣🤣🤣 … actually in Austria I get this racist feeling from east Europeans only like staring, quickly judging etc.
@@finland-mann-disec3912 country that is less diverse are much more likely to be racists towards people of color… even country with diversity example like USA, Canada, Uk are not exceptional to racism and remember this 3 country have a lot of Indians but they still been treated differently or considered as "Other" so what did you expect from Eastern European country?? Like srsly
Thank you for sharing your experience. I have family in Germany through my father and I really appreciate your kind words. Germany today sometimes does not get the credit it deserves. My cousins husband was from Turkey. People have come from Turkey to work in Germany since the 19th century. Many Polish people now live in and have helped revitalize the border towns after the post wall exodus of people in the early nineties. I was recently in a smaller town in Saxony and there were some, long established, thriving multi ethnic businesses. I will note that making an effort to learn the language goes a long way. I’m getting a small apartment in Saxony, near my family as it’s affordable for Germany. I would also gladly spend summers in the Czech Republic. The Hungarian and Romanian people are wonderful, but would not feel safe living there right now. My experience in Norway and Denmark was positive, but it’s actually much easier to move to Denmark to than Norway as Norway has not joined the EU. Even a spouse of a citizen of Norway must find a job for residency. Denmark is a small country, with a strong social welfare system, far more social equality and less poverty than the US. The fact that they don’t want to radically change their society to suit the needs of a wave of migrant people ultimately is their decision.
I was borned and raised in Germany. White, blond, girl, no problems of course, always thought Germans might look at foreigners or need some time to get used someonen they consider different but I never ever thought they would be hostile. One experience I had in a McDonalds in Kiel changed everything. I was standing in line behind a bunch of guys, obviously non Germans, I pressume refugees, speaking a foreigner language, broken english with the guy at the counter. In the line next to us were two or three men, obviously german, not very healthy looking, I pressume alcohol. One man of them was turned towards our line was talking mostly to himself first but than directly looked at one of the guys in front of me and said something (in german):"Yeah, we know what you are doing here. You come here for the money we worked hard for and we make you able to afford McDonald's food without you doing anything." He said it in such a hostile way I had never experienced before someone speaking too me. I saw one of the guys faces in front of me and he didn't look scared or angry but like this was nothing new. The worst things was: NO ONE including me spoke up. I was shocked but that is no excuse. I am sorry about this til today. I should have said something and bought them some extra McFlurry or something. I will do better in the future. Just felt I needed to share this.
I know you feel guilty. But thats not on you. This experience happened for a reason. It made you realize that you need to stand up against racism. You’re a great person. I hope you’re doing amazing. Ily ❤
Racism is real in Germany! Tho I have faced some but my black friends faced a lot. Those Germans even stoop as low as calling them Πigros, and whenever they did I stood for my colleagues.
unfortunately in Germany and in most of the Europe Country it is difficult to live with a Turkish name and as a muslim. It is unfortunately difficult to find a Job, rent a flat and also making friends a difficult. people don't consider the Turks & Muslims as their colleague or their tenant and even s their friend. the last one was extreme what is to me happened. A guy attacked on me in a Park and then 3 youngs saved my life. I called the Police. the police took this guy and questioned according to the fight. he lied and said to the police that i was angry to her wife and was about to attack his wife. i took drug etc etc. so its all lie. and than one month later i received a letter from state attorney. i had to pay 1500 Euro + Court expenses. so people. I swear by God and I swear by the things what i love on this life that happened to me. this is so crazy. i haunt done anything to this guy and he just lied to police to get out of the situation and saved himself. the state attorney even did not consider eye witnesses over there. so if you are muslim and than you don't have even right... unfortunately. i applied to court and than send a message to the German Law Ministry. And I am waiting new decision from the court.
And Germany is one of the easier countries to live in as a Turkish Muslim... The others are even worse. Sad bro, I hope your life goes well. I saw Turks are doing pretty OK in Dortmund, Köln, Düsseldorf, so maybe try moving there, or other cities with a lot of Turkish people.
This is something all muslims need to understand. Actions of some rowdy muslims and silence of the rest of the "peaceful" muslims only gives the impression that you and your kind are no good. You can claim that your religion is peaceful,but yet again,actions speak louder than words
Whether racist discrimination takes place and is also _perceived_ as what it is, depends on so many factors. One aspect is especially important in my opinion, namely the question whether the discriminating person expects to get away with it, which to a large part depends on how the potential victim is perceived in terms of the social hierarchy. According to my experience, people who claim that there's basically no problem with racism in Germany, tend to be from higher socio-economic classes, like well-educated expats or exchange students or just tourists travelling through Europe for a couple of months. On the other hand, people who seem to experience racism nearly on a daily basis are often from lower socio-economic classes, starting with discrimination in the educational system, later on in many different aspects of life, like e.g. employment discrimination, workplace bullying, difficulties to find an appartment, bad treatment by authorities, etc. etc. etc. - all these things that more privileged people like for example the Ph.D. from India working at Max Planck Institute will never or at least to a much lesser extent have to face on a regular basis.
To put it short: Racist discrimination often manifests in already existing hierarchies, where the instrumentalization of the power gap makes it easy for the aggressor to get away with it. These hierarchies can be manifold (wealth, level of education, health & physical attractiveness), but often times they're of socio-economic nature. If you don't perceive much racism, it's not that unlikely that your life is in general rather on the sunny side.
I dont think this is true. I and many other doctors have faced racism. But it really depends. If you look western european you might not experience any racism at all. But if youre black or muslim it will be extreme.
@bilalhamurabi3362 as a doctor, I am sort of protected from racist behaviour. I feel acknowledged and respected and even appreciated in that capacity . As soon as I step outside that role, and I'm just a member of society, I instantly feel just tolerated. It is getting better with time, attitudes are rapidly changing especially in Britain. Having a prime minister of colour has been a huge boon. The BLM protests also created much needed education and conversations around everyday racism. I think we should continue to engage positively in discussions around race and discrimination without fear.
@@NewBalance-pu8ft that's true. In my case all my colleagues had all access to my computer and emails. And after all that these hypocrits would go on and brag about 'high work ethics'. Most of the indians here commenting great things about Germany themselves work in a compromised situation and just want to appear cool to other indians. Don't let that fool you. Germany is a pro china and anti India country.
East Asian and south East Asian experiences the same things I know this cause they’re talking about it on tiktok… also did you see the Chinese girl was making fun of directly straight to her face
I am living in Germany for three years now and still I receive staring quite often on streets. I guess it's mostly because of the brown skin colour and it's natural when everyone else is white. If you speak fluent German, living in Germany becomes much easier.
@@ukisbeggar8462 canada is more racist than America. People live in social bubbles. You will hardly see interaction between different races outside of work places. Whites tends to hang out with fellow whites. Indians tend to have indian friends.
@@ukisbeggar8462 i get a lot in small cities in Canada and US, but now i am used to it. People say Canadians are friendly but in my experience no they are not.
Just watch how Westerners are stared at in India. Germany is nothing by comparison. I've seen Indians in restaurants forget about eating their food and open-mouthed stare at a foreigner at the next table. Of course it happens more in small towns and villages than in the metros.
I actually feel what you faced in Romania right now in Germany especially in Koblenz. Smaller cities have problem I guess. When I visited Stuttgart yesterday , I saw a lot of intercultural mixing. I felt happy seeing that and felt that shifting to larger cities in the long term would be better.
Im in Japan.. And my experience here so far was same as yours in Romania. Its not like people are racist or anything.. But . Most of the people who come to japan feel very alienated... And ull be refered as foreigner most of the time than your name. And i dont think that they do any of this with the intention of hurting others.. i guess they lack the knowledge of dicrimination. I have never faced any sort of racism but i have faced discrimination.. the most prime example is ... if u sit on a corner of the seat of a train, most of the time rest of the seat is gonna stay vacent and i have even seen a case where a japanese guy left his seat when a russian guy sat next to him... So i usually prefer standing in trains cuz i dont want anyone to leave seat just because i am a foreigner sitting next to him... But apart from that u are actually with a warm heart everywhere especially when u are able to speak japanese. Japanese people are very sweet and kind but ull always be treated differently here.. I get stared alot walking on the streets, restaurants, parks everywhere. but after i while i got used to it.
@@DasMirror I wanna quote again that im not saying that japanese people are racist or they discriminate intentionally, infact they are really kind but , they do lack the confidence to talk to foreigners unlike indians and language gap can be another reason, which generally leads to an awkward conversation so they generally prefer not to interect at all with foreigners which leads to foreigners often feeling alienated in japan.
Do you speak fluent Japanese? That public transport incident is quite common in Japan, from what I hear. Honestly, I would consider it to be non-rude racism.
@@Masha-kd2im That public transport incident happens with white foreigners too, fyi, not exclusive to brown people. There is more colorism in India than in Japan. Japanese people don't discriminate the brown Japanese much. There are a lot of non-fair Japs living in southern regions.
Lets just also mention that German culture is quite distanced and cold. So a foreigner might interpret it as "racism" when in reality that's just how Germans are.. even to themselves. I am German and the amount of grumpy Germans I interact with is actually quite high.
Yeah my impression of the Danes are very racist. I had a Danish manager. He was openly racist, but he's a bit of a weirdo so no one really complained against him. And yes you're right about Romania, I had an online Romanian friend once and she said the same thing, about how gypsies steal a lot in their country so they are prejudiced. I had a German manager once and I thought he was racist/biased too but I've met many normal German people outside work so i don't feel like stereotyping the whole country.
I am an Indian from northeast( sikkim) and sad to say I faced racism in my own county . Right now I am in West Bengal one of the state in India and it's hella racist full. Like they have Darjeeling as a part of their state where nepali people lives yet they don't even know about it. They act like they in a shock state when I say I'm from India north east and I fk hate it when they call me chunki Or Chinese like seriously they take it as a joke when they call me Chinese and all seriously nepal is closer to us than china yet they call us Chinese this and that some people don't even know what's racism is. I am not saying every one I racist overall I want to say when a Indian is getting hate or faces racism in other countries they be like why do they do that we don't do to they like that but they don't know that they do racism to their own fellow country people . So I'm stand with u that u faced racism in other county but i guess first we need to fix our own country then we can point on others
We experienced this in Hungary when we visited, we were pretty shocked because we had actually not experienced it at this level. But saying that I must there were some really nice people as well very warm and friendly.
I'm studying in Eastern Germany. On my second day of Germany, before I entered a supermarket, I was starred by a about 40 year old guy for 10 seconds and then I was showed middle finger.
@@Yamassurgeon hey sorry i understood it wrong.. i thought you were the one who gave him a middle finger after he stared at you.. anyways i also have the same experience last time when the Corona virus was new but without the middle finger.. sorry to hear your story..
@@sarahespinosa4501 No problem Sarah, I was just curious to know. Yes, it gave me chills when it happened. I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. I think the best way to deal with such stares and gestures is to ignore. Have a great day and thank you for showing some empathy.
I live in the UK I have lived with lots of Romanians. You are right They tend not to be very generous towards Romanian gypsies. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable listening to the negative comments, but saying that I found the Romanian people on the hole very nice my best friend is Romanian🇬🇧
I haven't had a great time in Germany regarding discrimination. I heard things such "you are not white enough" and "with your face, colour of hair/eyes you'll not get integrated". At least 8 or 9 situations like this, apart from people yelling at me and looking at me as I was an exotic animal.
Why would your wife keep pointing out people that are looking at you? That would make me paranoid. It is human nature to LOOK at someone who is so different from you when you live in a country with few immigrants. Going beyond looking and pointing or saying something is unacceptable.
Exactly..lol I was thinking the same. My wife is an American and she lived with me in Indian village for 3 years. Many people used to stare at her. If I would have pointed all the time that they are staring at her this would have been so difficult for her.
Yeah exactly, like these Indians that are complaining about otherss staring, if a blond person go to India their whole nation will literally stare at them the whole trip
Racism exists in macro or micro forms in each and every street on earth..but there are always ppl who are pure at heart..So it doesnt matter even if others mock u about ur skin colour..Just be yourself! You'll definately find your type of vibe and circle!☺🥰
After reading this, I am in love with you😉😂😊 Jokes aside, yep no matter how bad this world gets, there would always be people with good heart and pure soul😇
Rightly pointed out. But, what if such discrimination, hate and bigotry takes over the conscience of the majority? Then it becomes a problem and gets difficult to adjust.
Thank you for the video :-) just one little reminder - the word gipsy/gypsy is considered a racial slur by most, similarly to the "n-word". The term that is used without being pejorative is Roma or Romani people. They live in every European country and have arrived in Europe from India (most probably from the Punjab region) more than 500 years ago. The Roma language (there are of course dialects) still has many similarities with Hindi.
@@koolar1528 No, that is not true. While languages like German, Czech, Slovak, Polish etc. are in the Indo-European group of languages, they sound completely differently. Unless they are in a closer group together (like Slavic languages for example), speaker of one language would not be able to understand the other. Even though they lived next to each other for centuries. However, Hindi (or Urdu for that matter) and Roma have so many similarities, that with some effort one can understand the other, because huge chunks of the vocabulary are the same, grammar is similar etc. That is similar to Slovaks and Czechs bein able to speak with people in Poland, even though they are from different countries. German, Slovak, Czech, Polish, Hungarian or any other European speaker will not be able to understand a Roma person speaking their language.
@@IEnattI hahahahaha wow you have no knowledge of language forming and dialects lol. Genetic or ethnic groups dont difine language Group; ). Well Indo european langauges are spoken from northern india upto european countries. Only few language like hungary and some ethnic groups of norway speak different langauge family;). Gypsies are related more to european because they Live and got mixed to different ethnic Group so they Indo european. Fact
@@koolar1528 As it usually is with internet discussions, you did not read my comment thoroughly. This is my last response, in case somebody else reads this and would like to have a clarification. Yes, Slavic languages do belong to Indo European Languages, but speaker of a Slavic language subgroup would not understand a speaker from other subgroups - for example Germans. Similarly Indians speaking Hindi do not even understand all other official languages in India (even the Indo European ones). But similarity of the Roma language was noticed by linguists already in the 18. century. Lastly, please do not use the g-word, it is a racial slur and it is quite ironic that somebody is using it in a discussion under a video about experiences of racism.
It's been a couple of years since I moved to Germany. I still haven't faced anything like that. Normally from my experience, the Germans will not talk to you if they don't know you. But, once you talk with them, they'll be one of the nicest you'll ever meet. On the other side, people from Turkish backgrounds are super judgemental. (I won't call this racism.) overall, the experience has been positive for me. It's just don't be an asshole and they'll treat you like that. Don't throw trash on the street and be polite even if you can't speak German.
well the Turkish people have a history in Germany since the 1960s/70s , many of these (not all) are well settled and established and if it was not for the name you wouldn't even know they are not German, in fact most of the young generation doesn't even speak Turkish, so maybe they are a bit "sceptical" or "scared" that another immigrant group would take their place in society..
What kind of a bulls*it is your post? You are being racist now against turks. I really hope for you that some day germans will be extremly mean to you and you will feel bad what you said about turks!
Wow. I’ve lived in Hamburg, Germany since 2007 and it’s my first time ever to experience racism and heavy bullying. Maybe you’re lucky because you are male? There is a ton of sexism here in Hamburg, Germany and I have been discriminated against a ton here. So much unfairness I’ve experience here in Hamburg, Germany . My German husband did not believe the first few years until he saw it happening over and over with his own eyes. It doesn’t end. And I speak almost perfect German. Your experience is so different from mine.

I am pretty sure for the students who are coming to Northrhein westphalia like Duesseldorf, Cologne etc., you will definitely see the nicest people and have a wonderful living experience. I can guarantee it for sure..
I am so glad you told us what part of Germany you are or were in. Just like America, there are parts of Germany which are very open and then are others which are extremely conservative. Speaking the language will of course help and I spoke German before I arrived here and came from a neighbouring German-speaking country (in which I lived for 13 years) so actually moving to Germany was really easy.
Germany has been aging for many years, it is likely that in about 20 years the immigrant population (mainly from African and Asian countries) will triple in Europe and also in Germany. The United States and Canada are likely to experience the same situation. The future of most of these countries is that the native or wt population will be increasingly reduced.@@MoswaldOsley11.
I don't mind getting stared at.. I went to small town in Brazil and everyone was staring at me.. soon I found out no one had seen asian before. It was more of curiosity than racism. Soon they opened up started talking to me. And I believe in law of attraction. Before I visited Argentina, I had heard a lot of stories about argentinians being racists against Asians and within a few hours of arriving, I had heard and experienced a lot of racial slurs and hostile attitude against me.. but guess what? None of my asian friends who went there with me had bad experience...
don't lie!! Latinos normally don't stare at others!! They don't have anything against Asians either! one of the largest japanese communities in the world is in sao paulo. It is estimated that 2 million people in Brazil have Japanese descent. in argentina there is also a significant community of asians.
@@Lakshya12 Brazilians are Latino. Latinos are all those who come from countries in the Americas where the official language is Spanish, Portuguese and French. Latinos also don't have anything against people from India or people from South Asia.
Everyone has his or her own personal experience. You may all live in the same country and some will experience little or mild racism while others might have bad experiences. In conclusion, it all depends on the town or city or area or the community where one live. That is my own opinion.
As a Romanian I feel tense around gypsies because I fear them. They are always up quick to pick a fight with anybody and they wont 1 v1 with you, the whole clan will try to beat the shit out of you. So try to avoid gypsies. When I was 14 I was beaten pretty bad by 2 adult gypsies and I was and I was threaten with a knife by one of them. When I was in school gypsies would always bully and steal from me. And now as an adult what do you expect me? To love them? And a lot of Romanians at least had a bad experience with a gypsy so it is pretty normal for them to be aware if they are around them. And sorry for the bad experience in Romania, probably most of them thought you where a gypsy, if they knew you where a Indian they would have reacted differently.
Could you really blame the clans when the native romanians did chattel slavery on the Roma for more than 500 years?? Probably you should take accountability and apologise the roma community for your atrocities on them! I am indian and i didn't had positive experiences with Romanians. They seem unintelligent & stupid. Tried to even physically threaten me. Obviously they aren't courageous enough to try, they know what are the consequences of doing that. I am big thankfully.
Thanks for sharing your insightful experiences, Bharath! It's refreshing to hear about positive encounters in Germany and the importance of distinguishing cultural nuances from explicit racism. Your perspective adds valuable context to the broader discussion on this topic. Looking forward to more of your videos! 👍
Visiting a country is very different from living in one; especially in Germany. Germany has a very high level of racism; especially towards black immigrants. The reason why most people don't see or notice this is just because there's no form of xenophobia. The most immigrant-friendly country in Europe, in my opinion, is Finland. What you said about residency is not absolutely correct. It's not that easy to get a permanent residency or citizenship in Germany, it takes at least 8 years except if you get married to a German. Jobs are not easy to get for black foreigners, especially those in a special field like Environmental Science, and Germans tend to hide their racism under the camouflage of Language. I would always advise fellow black immigrants to consider countries like the UK, USA and Canada before Germany; at least in those countries, you have an idea of what you're dealing with or what you'll face. There is a lot of hypocrisy in Germany
@@AP-lc5ys What I mean by Xenophobia is the public display of hatred towards immigrants, foreigners or people of colour. This goes as far as public assault, humiliation and even execution of the concerned fellows, just like what happened in South Africa and even in the USA, with the public killing of black people by public officers (Black Lives Matter). As of today, there is no such incidence, at least not on a wide scale as in the USA, in Germany. That's why many people think less of racism in Germany. For the fact that Germans don't express this hatred publicly (to a large extent), doesn't mean they're not racist. You will begin to understand the magnitude of racism present in this country as soon as you have something to do with the government, or need some paperwork or even get a job. My statement about racism being camouflaged under the flag of language is mainly centered around my personal experience searching for jobs for over 3 years in Germany. Take for example, German is the only country I know so far that requires an applicant to submit a resume with a photograph (correct me if I'm wrong). Now, ask - why is that so? It's because they judge you right away by what you look like and when you have enough courage to ask why your application was not concerned; even if you're qualified for the position, they will tell you it's because your language proficiency is not high enough for that position or for the company (which is most times; just the polite way of telling you "F**K Off". The truth is Germans don't like foreigners to be in a high position or a position of power/authorithy, that's why most foreigners are working shitty jobs; except for some few lucky ones. (please correct me if I'm wrong, perhaps I'm just seeing it from a wrong perspective.)

Germans are not friendly. They're not hostile, but they're cold at the same time. The same can be said of most northern and western Europeans. From my experience, the further north or south you go from the Tropics, the grumpier, colder and more arrogant people get. I think southern hemisphere countries have the friendliest people, with the exception of Argentina. 😂
Listening to first hand WWII Holocaust testimonials of survivors scares the sh7t out of me. That is all i can think of when i think of Germany. Would not feel comfortable there no matter how nice people may be on the surface.
Sorry hear how much that effected you. Even though, rightfully. It was a horrible time. But feeling uncomfortable around a whole nationality because of the horrible past is also a bit of racist. It was 70 years ago and those are not the same people.
Yes but Germans pretend to not be. They always obsess and worry about the USA but I am an immigrant in USA, I was also an immigrant in Germany for 7 years and my life in Germany was so difficult and depressing. They don't like foreigners in Germany.
Its true to some extent. Yes, we all have preconcieved notions of other people based on race, culture, religion etc but it can be supressed and addressed through education, experience with others and also through sheer willpower.
Racism is not the only problem with Germans, unfortunately. They are generally smug and got that superiority complex over anyone that isn't native German. Danes are generally much nicer than them. Also, Danes don't stare. It's considered to be impolite 😌
It's not just Germans, every white people are like that, only difference is many white people don't show that openly and act friendly, but they have deep hatred in their heart. Europeans were making racial theories in the eighteen hundreds about how they're superior to others lol, and you think these people gonna change that fast?
Racism exist in every country. As an indian living in Germany I can say Germans are by far the friendliest and honest people I have ever came across. Indian shouldnt question about racism in the west when it is quite prevalent back in india. How people in New delhi treat other Indians. How people of South India treat North Indians, North Eastern people . We shouldnt care about racism in the west when it is quite evident in our own country infact its more than western countries. I made a good decision by leaving India. Indians are quite bigoted people its funny that people from haryana, punjab, up rajasthan, maharashtra etc cry racism abroad when they themselves behave like white people in india.
"Indians shouldn't question about racism when it is quite prevalent in India" fck lord that's stupid af. what about the Indians who aren't racist should they accept the racist comments towards them just because some indians are racist?
Well sadly racism exists in every country, some have small percentage some are vasts. even in india there is so much racism when a southie visits north or vice versa and person from UP Bihar goes to Maharashtra gujrat etc etc,. Im used to so much racism back in India that i hardly care it when im abroad. Hmare khud k desh waasi ek dusre mai bhed bhaw krte hai to gairo se kya hi umeed kare
Bhai apne desh waasiyon ke uper hagne mein hum kyu itni Kushi se tayyar hote hai? Racism in india is almost non existent. What exists is subtle xenophobia due to different cultures. Jaise ki pehle sabi South Indian log madrasi hote te aur unke liye North Indians sab ek hi tarah dikhte te. Now the North East people are facing this form of xenophobia in big cities like Delhi and Bangalore. But the kind of racism that exists in Germany is institutionalized and inherent due to their past. They've always been a culture that thought themselves better than all others. Their national anthem even had a verse that indicated as such. Kinda like islamists that think they're better.

True. We, Indian are the most racist in terms of colour, caste and religion. We are judgemental about caste more than what westerners are about colour. We have framed many stereotypes about people from other regions/ States. I am from Southern state and I have been living in J& K and Delhi for the last thiry years. I have seen.how judgemental we are. This applies to a person from Northern India, living in South also.
@@Lakshya12 If you are fair you don't face it as far as soon colur is concerned. Also it depends upon which type of crowd you mingle with. Except in few occasions I didn't get the feeling of being a 'Madarasi' in Delhi. But I have seen people biased in the basis of caste and religion in Delhi. Some of my friends are friendly with Muslims 'professionally' but don't accept any food offered by them. There is a nothion that Tamilians are dark and conservative in their outlook. I am incidentally little fair and not conservative. Many express their surprise. You are lucky that you didn't face any adverse comment based on your culture / language / religion. Wish you good times.
I am so happy that you did not experience racism in Germany. Racists are everywhere and I am sorry that some people have to experience it. And yes...in rural areas people are more skeptical than in the bigger cities. Some Germans also fear that foreigners are taking over and this makes them acting like racists.
I am from India and I live in a small town in Bavaria, for my masters. Fortunately, I have NEVER experienced blatant racism that's for sure. However, Ive had apartment flatmates rejecting my application because my culture does not match with theirs. Not because they are white and I am brown. And when I speak broken german, the stare often turns into a smile. I think people do not have a problem as long as you are willing to integrate. I started to dress and eat like germans and followed all the rules and regulations. However, most people also stare at you when you are speaking your mother tongue is to understand or figure out what language it could be. But yeah, Germany is warm and very nice!
I dnt think germans come across as racist…they are not over friendly and will not discuss personal things with you. Its considered rude if some one tells u that hes not well and you ask what exactly the problem is. Its a cultural difference. In india you will get free advise frm friends and colleagues the moment you say u r unwell😂. i interact with quite a few german colleagues and never did i feel they were being racist.
I'm a Latino that's also on paler side of the spectrum so at times I'm confused with southern Spaniard. Still, after living in the US for several months, I can say that there is at least more acceptance of inmigrants there than in Germany.
Yup. I'm a Hispanic American and pretty damn pale as well and I have European facial features but I have curly hair so they might think I'm North African or something in Europe idk lol. I never had a racist incident here in America. That's why I get so annoyed when Europeans talk crap about Americans when they're probably worse.
STORY FROM FRANCE… I once met a girl in France whom boyfriend was victim of a racist attack by French cops. One day, her friends showed her the cops who harassed him, they were having lunch outside enjoying their time. The french girl wanted to talk to them but realized there was no point doing so (the cops were in group) as how can they prove anything? She decided to apply for a job at that restaurant and event got it after 5 to six months…. You know what she did? One of the racist moron always ordered French onion soup and the other one usually orders beer. Well… each time those morons do, she would add her own “mouth-made biological champagne”’into the soup and into the beer…. Each day she worked and each day she managed to get those morons as her customers. She even added some stomach med and made one of them go to the loo 2 or 3 times, but avoided to make it frequent as it would be too flagrant at the end. All the comments posted here made me smile because some think that one must always obey and be subdued even if it is not justified. I would say … and May be it is because I am French (and not North American like many of you) … that those MORONS may have tasers, power, strength… but as we Cana Lao have our own way, like “champagning” their food. Another girl I knew took pictures of those who mess up with her sister for example and “repaired” those pics by putting a prostitute next to the moron. She would then send the pic to the moron’s wife. By the way, it also shows that most cops are not smart - if they were, they would have been engineers or architects!
I m in France bro and I know here racism is really high ...even though you don't say anything to them they keep on saying the work where I m doing is really good but I don't know a girl always do racism with me even though I don't talk to her and I just ignore that bitch ..still see say ...one day she said me and my friends that you Indians smell like dead rat...what the heck is this behaviour... hopefully one day they will get karma for sure...And every person should stop racism because it is really bad 😞😞😞
Totally agree…i think to a large extent its also the way people from certain regions of the country are portrayed…i was watching Raone movie the other day…do they actually think southindians behave the way shahrukh acts in that film? bollywood pls grow up…its disguisting..there is a line between mockery and comedy.
Had a bad experience recently in the Hospital. We just had our 1st baby and the Turkish-German family members of our room-mate( who was also turkish) was really disrespectful. It came to a point that the father banged the door while my baby was sleeping, because they just wanted to occupy the cabinet that we were using. We occupied the room 1st and moving our belongings would be unecessary because we were leaving the next morning. They would be very noisy though they can see that our baby is still sleeping and that the hospital only allow few visitors especially in the baby areas. As an immigrant my self, i wonder why they would look down on other migrant races especially asians. They would seem to look very entitled on everything. Still we held our composure, though i cried because of my frustration not being able to defend my self and my wife.
Sorry to hear that.But i guess,if your room mate was a German ,you would only expect a rude and racist behaviour.So you were wondering why Turks can be like this .
Make a German friend being brown and you will get to know what racism means in depth.. Now don't tell it's hard to make German friends , I have definitely seen more Germans atleast talking to someone of Europe but if you are of a different skin tone even though you speak in German , they treat you as though you are invisible to them .. There are people with other skin tones being friends with Germans but they must be extremely lucky :)
I faced racism once in germany in 4 yrs and that was also passive. So i think most of germans are not racist espacially in south. They r educated and tolerant.
I traveled recently to US for 5 weeks and 4 days Germany and 4 days London. In US they were not open at all and in Europe they would try to talk to me in Spanish even though I spoke them in English and they were very friendly so quite interesting in US, they have the thought that you should only speak English…

The fact that you've mentioned "safety" is quite relevant. If you look at US, it isn't nearly as safe. People can be pretty violent and you don't want to be at their gunpoint.
You can not force someone to date a person from other race or his own race. That doesn't make a person racist. Now GFY. It's people's choice unless they are hurting someone or abusing. That's become racism

Nice to hear your experience and perspective Bharat. I have been to Romania as a tourist and though most of the people have been nice to me, I did come across some grumpy people. I clearly sensed it from their body language. Similarly, all the Scandinavian countries have been nice to me, although they don't speak much with strangers. But, in Copenhagen one of my hostel mate who was from Kosice, also told me about the strong right wing sentiments among the Danish that you mentioned. Although, I did not encounter such people thankfully or had negative experiences but that point was always on my mind wherever I went in Copenhagen.

Talking about racism in other countries, I can't stop thinking about racism in our own country.. I feel its much better in other countries sadly. It's the outsiders, but here in India it starts from the family itself.. hope ppl see beyond colour and religion
I'm originally from Germany and yes we do have our share of racist people, just like in any other country. Some are just downright racist and hate the fact that you are different but for the majority it mostly stems from bad experience. Immigrants/refugees that leave their country because it's bad where they are from but then continue to behave disrespectful, break laws and refuse to integrate themselves. I've made good and bad experiences growing up in Germany. I can't speak for how it is now since I haven't been back for 20 years but from what I've heard there was a big issue with refugees sexually harassing women a few years ago. The way you present yourself makes a huge difference if people are nice to you or not. About the staring and I'm speaking for myself, I look out of curiosity. It wouldn't surprise me if some do it just to get a feeling of if you are a good person or someone to be avoided because of said bad experiences.
Blame the Muslims for the Right-Wing sentiments amongst Danes. Scandinavian nations have experienced a rash of mass-rioting by Muslims lately. So, that sentiment is absolutely justified.
I heard and studied that many people from India in particular were in the state of NRW . How about Cities like Cologne or Dusseldorf or Bonn from your experience??
I had the same experience with Germany. It is very open-minded, and most of the time friendly & helping people👌👍 The statistics say also the same. The most multicultural country after UK!
I'm brown Australian and faced more racism in my 2 years in Germany than my entire life in Australia, it got so bad being an inter racial couple my gf and I moved back to Australia.

I’ve been living in Germany. And the German Staredown is extremely uncomfortable and stresses me out. I live in a small town, but it doesn’t get any better in bigger cities either. I’m constantly conscious about the stares and it annoys me more when they talk about me right in front of me.
My German boyfriend did not understand that this is even a thing (now does!)
Now I’ve learned to overcome this. ‘When in Rome be a Roman’ so I participate in the stare down these days until they are tired to staring at me.

I kinda agree. I have lived in the US for several years and now in Germany. I think the 'German Stare' is a much debated topic among expats, but it is mostly out of curiosity. I live in a very international city in Germany, and I love visiting the beautiful small cities where sometimes people do stare, but when I talk to them they are very friendly, especially when you talk to them in German. Overall in my personal experience, the German people are more friendly towards immigrants than in the US.
Interesting. I always had the view that because Europe historically hasn't had that much immigration they have more negative attitudes compared to the US where immigration in the 20th century, largely did away with those fears
I have lived in both countries and my experience is quite the opposite. Might be due to the fact that I don't speak German but I did my high school and undergrad in the US so I was well integrated. Ger,mans are quite friendly but it takes a while for them to really open up to you.

@@hyderabadi1327 Yeah, they are a friendly bunch for sure. My point was back in the US its so easy to get along with random people.

The gypsies left India about 1000 years ago. They were forced to do so during the invasions by people like Mahmud of Ghazni, ghori, etc. A lot of them were taken as slaves to the middle Eastern slave markets as well. The Hindukush mountains got it's name because these gypsies ("romani" people) who were being taken as slaves were dying when they were taken across the mountains. Hindukush means Hindu Killer. Quite horrifying history. Even now, there's so much racism against Romani people and they're not being able to lift themselves back up at all.
Yes These People from Rajasthan are very much able to lift themselves up.
They are Indians. Not romani, Not Gypsy. Proud Indians.
They have defended Hinduism against the Islamic Sultans that came to North India. No Hardship was ever able to make them give up.
It is a very complex History, and everyone should have their own Opinion.
Yes poor gypsies😂
I'm from Jamaica, living in Frankfurter. I can honestly say, i have faced racism. Whether at work, on public transportation or even in my own home. Everyone who is not a white German, faces racism. However black people such as Africans and African decendants, face the worse of it. Racism here in Germany is very difficult to spot because they do is so well. For example. I was on a bus, while living in Gießen. I was the only sitting where elders and disable folks should sit. I saw an elderly woman enter the bus, i immediately got up and went to another seat that was empty so that she could have her designated seat without any impediment. The old lady walked past the designated seat, and went to go sit beside another white German. There were other seats beside other people of colour. Many times I am on the train and the only one sitting in a row of seats while the rest of the seats are full. No one white sits in the row I am in. They go and stand or continue walking, looking for another seat. People of colour have no issue sitting next to or infront me. So I have started to actively sit beside or infront white Germans because I know how badly they don't want to.
@@3r8y8cKHdfkwei89 As a white man from an eastern europen country which did not have any colony (Czech republic) I have friends in Germany and I would say they don't care of anything from the colonies. Actually they see it the opposite way. I.e. that your countries got much more from the colonization than them. They organized your countries so you don't fight in neverending tribal wars as you did before colonization, speaking hundred different languages. They organized your society, they introduced industry, better agriculture, schools, education, democracy. So actually they still see you as not developed countries which have a big problem to keep the society on the level they introduced there. The colonization helped your countries much.
The irony is that you are prejudiced yourself by judging all Germans by your individual few experiences.
This way it will never end. You can find as many black, asian, hispanic immigrants that will tell you they were welcomed and treated well.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have family in Germany through my father and I really appreciate your kind words. Germany today sometimes does not get the credit it deserves. My cousins husband was from Turkey. People have come from Turkey to work in Germany since the 19th century. Many Polish people now live in and have helped revitalize the border towns after the post wall exodus of people in the early nineties. I was recently in a smaller town in Saxony and there were some, long established, thriving multi ethnic businesses. I will note that making an effort to learn the language goes a long way. I’m getting a small apartment in Saxony, near my family as it’s affordable for Germany. I would also gladly spend summers in the Czech Republic. The Hungarian and Romanian people are wonderful, but would not feel safe living there right now. My experience in Norway and Denmark was positive, but it’s actually much easier to move to Denmark to than Norway as Norway has not joined the EU. Even a spouse of a citizen of Norway must find a job for residency. Denmark is a small country, with a strong social welfare system, far more social equality and less poverty than the US. The fact that they don’t want to radically change their society to suit the needs of a wave of migrant people ultimately is their decision.
I was borned and raised in Germany. White, blond, girl, no problems of course, always thought Germans might look at foreigners or need some time to get used someonen they consider different but I never ever thought they would be hostile.
One experience I had in a McDonalds in Kiel changed everything. I was standing in line behind a bunch of guys, obviously non Germans, I pressume refugees, speaking a foreigner language, broken english with the guy at the counter. In the line next to us were two or three men, obviously german, not very healthy looking, I pressume alcohol. One man of them was turned towards our line was talking mostly to himself first but than directly looked at one of the guys in front of me and said something (in german):"Yeah, we know what you are doing here. You come here for the money we worked hard for and we make you able to afford McDonald's food without you doing anything." He said it in such a hostile way I had never experienced before someone speaking too me. I saw one of the guys faces in front of me and he didn't look scared or angry but like this was nothing new.
The worst things was: NO ONE including me spoke up. I was shocked but that is no excuse. I am sorry about this til today. I should have said something and bought them some extra McFlurry or something. I will do better in the future.
Just felt I needed to share this.

A guy attacked on me in a Park and then 3 youngs saved my life. I called the Police. the police took this guy and questioned according to the fight. he lied and said to the police that i was angry to her wife and was about to attack his wife. i took drug etc etc. so its all lie. and than one month later i received a letter from state attorney. i had to pay 1500 Euro + Court expenses. so people. I swear by God and I swear by the things what i love on this life that happened to me. this is so crazy. i haunt done anything to this guy and he just lied to police to get out of the situation and saved himself. the state attorney even did not consider eye witnesses over there. so if you are muslim and than you don't have even right... unfortunately. i applied to court and than send a message to the German Law Ministry. And I am waiting new decision from the court.
And Germany is one of the easier countries to live in as a Turkish Muslim... The others are even worse. Sad bro, I hope your life goes well.

Whether racist discrimination takes place and is also _perceived_ as what it is, depends on so many factors. One aspect is especially important in my opinion, namely the question whether the discriminating person expects to get away with it, which to a large part depends on how the potential victim is perceived in terms of the social hierarchy. According to my experience, people who claim that there's basically no problem with racism in Germany, tend to be from higher socio-economic classes, like well-educated expats or exchange students or just tourists travelling through Europe for a couple of months. On the other hand, people who seem to experience racism nearly on a daily basis are often from lower socio-economic classes, starting with discrimination in the educational system, later on in many different aspects of life, like e.g. employment discrimination, workplace bullying, difficulties to find an appartment, bad treatment by authorities, etc. etc. etc. - all these things that more privileged people like for example the Ph.D. from India working at Max Planck Institute will never or at least to a much lesser extent have to face on a regular basis.
To put it short: Racist discrimination often manifests in already existing hierarchies, where the instrumentalization of the power gap makes it easy for the aggressor to get away with it. These hierarchies can be manifold (wealth, level of education, health & physical attractiveness), but often times they're of socio-economic nature. If you don't perceive much racism, it's not that unlikely that your life is in general rather on the sunny side.
I dont think this is true. I and many other doctors have faced racism. But it really depends. If you look western european you might not experience any racism at all. But if youre black or muslim it will be extreme.
@bilalhamurabi3362 as a doctor, I am sort of protected from racist behaviour. I feel acknowledged and respected and even appreciated in that capacity . As soon as I step outside that role, and I'm just a member of society, I instantly feel just tolerated. It is getting better with time, attitudes are rapidly changing especially in Britain. Having a prime minister of colour has been a huge boon. The BLM protests also created much needed education and conversations around everyday racism. I think we should continue to engage positively in discussions around race and discrimination without fear.

I actually feel what you faced in Romania right now in Germany especially in Koblenz. Smaller cities have problem I guess. When I visited Stuttgart yesterday , I saw a lot of intercultural mixing. I felt happy seeing that and felt that shifting to larger cities in the long term would be better.

Im in Japan.. And my experience here so far was same as yours in Romania. Its not like people are racist or anything.. But . Most of the people who come to japan feel very alienated... And ull be refered as foreigner most of the time than your name. And i dont think that they do any of this with the intention of hurting others.. i guess they lack the knowledge of dicrimination. I have never faced any sort of racism but i have faced discrimination.. the most prime example is ... if u sit on a corner of the seat of a train, most of the time rest of the seat is gonna stay vacent and i have even seen a case where a japanese guy left his seat when a russian guy sat next to him... So i usually prefer standing in trains cuz i dont want anyone to leave seat just because i am a foreigner sitting next to him... But apart from that u are actually with a warm heart everywhere especially when u are able to speak japanese. Japanese people are very sweet and kind but ull always be treated differently here.. I get stared alot walking on the streets, restaurants, parks everywhere. but after i while i got used to it.

@@DasMirror I wanna quote again that im not saying that japanese people are racist or they discriminate intentionally, infact they are really kind but , they do lack the confidence to talk to foreigners unlike indians and language gap can be another reason, which generally leads to an awkward conversation so they generally prefer not to interect at all with foreigners which leads to foreigners often feeling alienated in japan.

They act like they in a shock state when I say I'm from India north east and I fk hate it when they call me chunki Or Chinese like seriously they take it as a joke when they call me Chinese and all seriously nepal is closer to us than china yet they call us Chinese this and that some people don't even know what's racism is. I am not saying every one I racist overall I want to say when a Indian is getting hate or faces racism in other countries they be like why do they do that we don't do to they like that but they don't know that they do racism to their own fellow country people . So I'm stand with u that u faced racism in other county but i guess first we need to fix our own country then we can point on others

Thank you for the video :-) just one little reminder - the word gipsy/gypsy is considered a racial slur by most, similarly to the "n-word". The term that is used without being pejorative is Roma or Romani people. They live in every European country and have arrived in Europe from India (most probably from the Punjab region) more than 500 years ago. The Roma language (there are of course dialects) still has many similarities with Hindi.
Yes because they all belong to Indo european language.
@@koolar1528 No, that is not true. While languages like German, Czech, Slovak, Polish etc. are in the Indo-European group of languages, they sound completely differently. Unless they are in a closer group together (like Slavic languages for example), speaker of one language would not be able to understand the other. Even though they lived next to each other for centuries. However, Hindi (or Urdu for that matter) and Roma have so many similarities, that with some effort one can understand the other, because huge chunks of the vocabulary are the same, grammar is similar etc. That is similar to Slovaks and Czechs bein able to speak with people in Poland, even though they are from different countries. German, Slovak, Czech, Polish, Hungarian or any other European speaker will not be able to understand a Roma person speaking their language.
@@IEnattI hahahahaha wow you have no knowledge of language forming and dialects lol. Genetic or ethnic groups dont difine language Group; ). Well Indo european langauges are spoken from northern india upto european countries. Only few language like hungary and some ethnic groups of norway speak different langauge family;). Gypsies are related more to european because they Live and got mixed to different ethnic Group so they Indo european. Fact
@@IEnattI slavic language belongs to INDO european language family; ).
@@koolar1528 As it usually is with internet discussions, you did not read my comment thoroughly. This is my last response, in case somebody else reads this and would like to have a clarification. Yes, Slavic languages do belong to Indo European Languages, but speaker of a Slavic language subgroup would not understand a speaker from other subgroups - for example Germans. Similarly Indians speaking Hindi do not even understand all other official languages in India (even the Indo European ones). But similarity of the Roma language was noticed by linguists already in the 18. century. Lastly, please do not use the g-word, it is a racial slur and it is quite ironic that somebody is using it in a discussion under a video about experiences of racism.

It's been a couple of years since I moved to Germany. I still haven't faced anything like that. Normally from my experience, the Germans will not talk to you if they don't know you. But, once you talk with them, they'll be one of the nicest you'll ever meet. On the other side, people from Turkish backgrounds are super judgemental. (I won't call this racism.)
overall, the experience has been positive for me. It's just don't be an asshole and they'll treat you like that. Don't throw trash on the street and be polite even if you can't speak German.
well the Turkish people have a history in Germany since the 1960s/70s , many of these (not all) are well settled and established and if it was not for the name you wouldn't even know they are not German, in fact most of the young generation doesn't even speak Turkish, so maybe they are a bit "sceptical" or "scared" that another immigrant group would take their place in society..
Better yet, learn the language if you intend to live there long-term.

As a Romanian I feel tense around gypsies because I fear them. They are always up quick to pick a fight with anybody and they wont 1 v1 with you, the whole clan will try to beat the shit out of you. So try to avoid gypsies. When I was 14 I was beaten pretty bad by 2 adult gypsies and I was and I was threaten with a knife by one of them. When I was in school gypsies would always bully and steal from me. And now as an adult what do you expect me? To love them? And a lot of Romanians at least had a bad experience with a gypsy so it is pretty normal for them to be aware if they are around them. And sorry for the bad experience in Romania, probably most of them thought you where a gypsy, if they knew you where a Indian they would have reacted differently.

I have faced the most racism in the world in India by fellow Indians
Once you travelled to Holland you will rate Germany on spot 2
Visiting a country is very different from living in one; especially in Germany. Germany has a very high level of racism; especially towards black immigrants. The reason why most people don't see or notice this is just because there's no form of xenophobia. The most immigrant-friendly country in Europe, in my opinion, is Finland. What you said about residency is not absolutely correct. It's not that easy to get a permanent residency or citizenship in Germany, it takes at least 8 years except if you get married to a German. Jobs are not easy to get for black foreigners, especially those in a special field like Environmental Science, and Germans tend to hide their racism under the camouflage of Language. I would always advise fellow black immigrants to consider countries like the UK, USA and Canada before Germany; at least in those countries, you have an idea of what you're dealing with or what you'll face. There is a lot of hypocrisy in Germany
Please explain the racism camouflaged by language thing. And how "racism but no xenophobism" works.
@@AP-lc5ys What I mean by Xenophobia is the public display of hatred towards immigrants, foreigners or people of colour. This goes as far as public assault, humiliation and even execution of the concerned fellows, just like what happened in South Africa and even in the USA, with the public killing of black people by public officers (Black Lives Matter). As of today, there is no such incidence, at least not on a wide scale as in the USA, in Germany. That's why many people think less of racism in Germany. For the fact that Germans don't express this hatred publicly (to a large extent), doesn't mean they're not racist. You will begin to understand the magnitude of racism present in this country as soon as you have something to do with the government, or need some paperwork or even get a job.
My statement about racism being camouflaged under the flag of language is mainly centered around my personal experience searching for jobs for over 3 years in Germany. Take for example, German is the only country I know so far that requires an applicant to submit a resume with a photograph (correct me if I'm wrong). Now, ask - why is that so? It's because they judge you right away by what you look like and when you have enough courage to ask why your application was not concerned; even if you're qualified for the position, they will tell you it's because your language proficiency is not high enough for that position or for the company (which is most times; just the polite way of telling you "F**K Off". The truth is Germans don't like foreigners to be in a high position or a position of power/authorithy, that's why most foreigners are working shitty jobs; except for some few lucky ones. (please correct me if I'm wrong, perhaps I'm just seeing it from a wrong perspective.)

Lol. Only Whites are racist. You have a long history of doing racism from keeping forced labours , slaves to modern day racism against non whites
Its true to some extent. Yes, we all have preconcieved notions of other people based on race, culture, religion etc but it can be supressed and addressed through education, experience with others and also through sheer willpower.
Racism is not the only problem with Germans, unfortunately. They are generally smug and got that superiority complex over anyone that isn't native German. Danes are generally much nicer than them. Also, Danes don't stare. It's considered to be impolite 😌
It's not just Germans, every white people are like that, only difference is many white people don't show that openly and act friendly, but they have deep hatred in their heart. Europeans were making racial theories in the eighteen hundreds about how they're superior to others lol, and you think these people gonna change that fast?
Racism exist in every country. As an indian living in Germany I can say Germans are by far the friendliest and honest people I have ever came across. Indian shouldnt question about racism in the west when it is quite prevalent back in india. How people in New delhi treat other Indians. How people of South India treat North Indians, North Eastern people . We shouldnt care about racism in the west when it is quite evident in our own country infact its more than western countries. I made a good decision by leaving India. Indians are quite bigoted people its funny that people from haryana, punjab, up rajasthan, maharashtra etc cry racism abroad when they themselves behave like white people in india.

Racism in india is almost non existent. What exists is subtle xenophobia due to different cultures. Jaise ki pehle sabi South Indian log madrasi hote te aur unke liye North Indians sab ek hi tarah dikhte te. Now the North East people are facing this form of xenophobia in big cities like Delhi and Bangalore. But the kind of racism that exists in Germany is institutionalized and inherent due to their past. They've always been a culture that thought themselves better than all others. Their national anthem even had a verse that indicated as such. Kinda like islamists that think they're better.

The one who is against reservations is questioning racism in Germany. Interesting.
True.
We, Indian are the most racist in terms of colour, caste and religion.
We are judgemental about caste more than what westerners are about colour.
We have framed many stereotypes about people from other regions/ States.
I am from Southern state and I have been living in J& K and Delhi for the last thiry years.
I have seen.how judgemental we are.
This applies to a person from Northern India, living in South also.
So true lol

If you are fair you don't face it as far as soon colur is concerned.
Also it depends upon which type of crowd you mingle with.
Except in few occasions I didn't get the feeling of being a 'Madarasi' in Delhi.
But I have seen people biased in the basis of caste and religion in Delhi.
Some of my friends are friendly with Muslims 'professionally' but don't accept any food offered by them.
There is a nothion that Tamilians are dark and conservative in their outlook.
I am incidentally little fair and not conservative.
Many express their surprise.
You are lucky that you didn't face any adverse comment based on your culture / language / religion.
Wish you good times.
I am so happy that you did not experience racism in Germany. Racists are everywhere and I am sorry that some people have to experience it. And yes...in rural areas people are more skeptical than in the bigger cities. Some Germans also fear that foreigners are taking over and this makes them acting like racists.
Indians realise racism outside but not casteism inside. That's saddening.
And what makes you think that
Ha bhai ye Kitna hypocrite insaan hai yaar 🙄
Worse things happen here.
Casteism is banned. And dying a slow death. Indians have reservations.
Facts. India is the most racist country in south Asia by far. And then indians cry about racism in European countries, that's kinda funny
I am from India and I live in a small town in Bavaria, for my masters. Fortunately, I have NEVER experienced blatant racism that's for sure. However, Ive had apartment flatmates rejecting my application because my culture does not match with theirs. Not because they are white and I am brown. And when I speak broken german, the stare often turns into a smile. I think people do not have a problem as long as you are willing to integrate. I started to dress and eat like germans and followed all the rules and regulations. However, most people also stare at you when you are speaking your mother tongue is to understand or figure out what language it could be. But yeah, Germany is warm and very nice!
No entry in 90% clubs for Indians.
Indians don't go to club generally.
I never seen any Indians in club in Germany
Same here in Australia
Club and bar are the last place you would go as a foreigner.
@@hank4920Indian women go there a lot
I dnt think germans come across as racist…they are not over friendly and will not discuss personal things with you. Its considered rude if some one tells u that hes not well and you ask what exactly the problem is. Its a cultural difference. In india you will get free advise frm friends and colleagues the moment you say u r unwell😂. i interact with quite a few german colleagues and never did i feel they were being racist.
I'm a Latino that's also on paler side of the spectrum so at times I'm confused with southern Spaniard.
Still, after living in the US for several months, I can say that there is at least more acceptance of inmigrants there than in Germany.
Yup. I'm a Hispanic American and pretty damn pale as well and I have European facial features but I have curly hair so they might think I'm North African or something in Europe idk lol. I never had a racist incident here in America. That's why I get so annoyed when Europeans talk crap about Americans when they're probably worse.

STORY FROM FRANCE…
I once met a girl in France whom boyfriend was victim of a racist attack by French cops. One day, her friends showed her the cops who harassed him, they were having lunch outside enjoying their time. The french girl wanted to talk to them but realized there was no point doing so (the cops were in group) as how can they prove anything? She decided to apply for a job at that restaurant and event got it after 5 to six months…. You know what she did? One of the racist moron always ordered French onion soup and the other one usually orders beer. Well… each time those morons do, she would add her own “mouth-made biological champagne”’into the soup and into the beer…. Each day she worked and each day she managed to get those morons as her customers. She even added some stomach med and made one of them go to the loo 2 or 3 times, but avoided to make it frequent as it would be too flagrant at the end.
All the comments posted here made me smile because some think that one must always obey and be subdued even if it is not justified. I would say … and May be it is because I am French (and not North American like many of you) … that those MORONS may have tasers, power, strength… but as we Cana Lao have our own way, like “champagning” their food. Another girl I knew took pictures of those who mess up with her sister for example and “repaired” those pics by putting a prostitute next to the moron. She would then send the pic to the moron’s wife. By the way, it also shows that most cops are not smart - if they were, they would have been engineers or architects!
I m in France bro and I know here racism is really high ...even though you don't say anything to them they keep on saying the work where I m doing is really good but I don't know a girl always do racism with me even though I don't talk to her and I just ignore that bitch ..still see say ...one day she said me and my friends that you Indians smell like dead rat...what the heck is this behaviour... hopefully one day they will get karma for sure...And every person should stop racism because it is really bad 😞😞😞
Is india better ? No we also have racist attitude so if any foreigners acts are racist we should not forget our actions in india
Momos indian
Well, India is the most racist country in the world. It's a hard fact. Many will never accept.
Totally agree…i think to a large extent its also the way people from certain regions of the country are portrayed…i was watching Raone movie the other day…do they actually think southindians behave the way shahrukh acts in that film? bollywood pls grow up…its disguisting..there is a line between mockery and comedy.
Had a bad experience recently in the Hospital. We just had our 1st baby and the Turkish-German family members of our room-mate( who was also turkish) was really disrespectful. It came to a point that the father banged the door while my baby was sleeping, because they just wanted to occupy the cabinet that we were using. We occupied the room 1st and moving our belongings would be unecessary because we were leaving the next morning. They would be very noisy though they can see that our baby is still sleeping and that the hospital only allow few visitors especially in the baby areas. As an immigrant my self, i wonder why they would look down on other migrant races especially asians. They would seem to look very entitled on everything. Still we held our composure, though i cried because of my frustration not being able to defend my self and my wife.
Sorry to hear that.But i guess,if your room mate was a German ,you would only expect a rude and racist behaviour.So you were wondering why Turks can be like this .
Make a German friend being brown and you will get to know what racism means in depth.. Now don't tell it's hard to make German friends , I have definitely seen more Germans atleast talking to someone of Europe but if you are of a different skin tone even though you speak in German , they treat you as though you are invisible to them .. There are people with other skin tones being friends with Germans but they must be extremely lucky :)
I faced racism once in germany in 4 yrs and that was also passive. So i think most of germans are not racist espacially in south. They r educated and tolerant.
I traveled recently to US for 5 weeks and 4 days Germany and 4 days London. In US they were not open at all and in Europe they would try to talk to me in Spanish even though I spoke them in English and they were very friendly so quite interesting in US, they have the thought that you should only speak English…
North America including Canada is so cold and xenophobic. They don't show on your face. But it's deep down there simmering among communities. Canada has problem of isolation of certain races due to racism.
Why would someone talk to you if he doesn't know you?

the alpine region in Europe is the most racist..i get that as they are a bit closed minded but also they have the highest quality of life in Europe. thus they dont like strangers to come and ruin their wealth system. and I say that as I come from this area…they may show you a friendly behaviour..but this is not authentic.
in germany they think that touching feet after success is disgusting while in there 16 year olds go to brothels
Even in India there is hate towards bihari in other state, Bengali South Indian also face racist slur and Muslim that's everyday thing

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Me personally as a blk American man from California, I'll probably just avoid visiting white & latin countries in the future and just stick with certain African countries.

Well talking about racism, How many Indians prefer to date Blacks rather than whites????
Lol. I have read they don't even marry outside their caste or clan. 🤣
You can not force someone to date a person from other race or his own race.
That doesn't make a person racist.
Now GFY.
It's people's choice unless they are hurting someone or abusing.

Nice to hear your experience and perspective Bharat. I have been to Romania as a tourist and though most of the people have been nice to me, I did come across some grumpy people. I clearly sensed it from their body language. Similarly, all the Scandinavian countries have been nice to me, although they don't speak much with strangers. But, in Copenhagen one of my hostel mate who was from Kosice, also told me about the strong right wing sentiments among the Danish that you mentioned. Although, I did not encounter such people thankfully or had negative experiences but that point was always on my mind wherever I went in Copenhagen.
I'm live in Berlin and it's like there aren't Germans here hahahaha, I need to speak German and it's hard cuz sometimes there is people who don't speak it
I have come to Portugal and i heavly feel racism here not only from the locals but the European and US tourists.They either ignore you or give you a different treatment
Yes Portuguese are f*ckijg racist just like our goans
Why are you deviating from the topic? We are discussing Germany aren't we?
He’s not deviating topic he share Germany racism experience with all country that’s he been too into 1 video? So what??? It’s a good things I don’t want to check multiple video of him talking about racism in different country
Talking about racism in other countries, I can't stop thinking about racism in our own country.. I feel its much better in other countries sadly. It's the outsiders, but here in India it starts from the family itself.. hope ppl see beyond colour and religion
That's different type of racism
There is always a difference when you experience racism outside of your country
Europe for Europeans
Makes no sense considering Europeans are immigrating to Asia,America and the Middle East. If it's for your Europeans why are Europeans leaving?
I'm originally from Germany and yes we do have our share of racist people, just like in any other country. Some are just downright racist and hate the fact that you are different but for the majority it mostly stems from bad experience. Immigrants/refugees that leave their country because it's bad where they are from but then continue to behave disrespectful, break laws and refuse to integrate themselves. I've made good and bad experiences growing up in Germany.
I can't speak for how it is now since I haven't been back for 20 years but from what I've heard there was a big issue with refugees sexually harassing women a few years ago. The way you present yourself makes a huge difference if people are nice to you or not.
About the staring and I'm speaking for myself, I look out of curiosity. It wouldn't surprise me if some do it just to get a feeling of if you are a good person or someone to be avoided because of said bad experiences.
Blame the Muslims for the Right-Wing sentiments amongst Danes. Scandinavian nations have experienced a rash of mass-rioting by Muslims lately. So, that sentiment is absolutely justified.
