Racism, bias, and discrimination in Germany | DW News

[@knightmareco]

Context on "going clubbing with his friends"? I was in Germany and something that I noticed in every city when going to parties, is that security tend to turn down groups of more than 3 males, specially when it's clear tha they've been drinking, and that my friends, is to protect the women. I work right now with two men that lived in Germany for more than 10 years, and they said the most racism they experienced was from second generation immigrants, specially turkish.

Its not racism when someone does not like your looks in the modeling business. Its literally a business that is run by looks. No one cries racism if a client says the model is too Scandinavian.

[@KABSOOLH1]

you have no experience in the modelling business and you did not experience racism, yet you mange to make a conclusion out of nothing. you are either a genius or very ignorant and i think it is most likely the last. you see mr ignorant in the modeling business you have agencies that you can sign a contract with and clients that can book you for a session or more such as clothing brands, but if an agency does not even give you the chance to be picked because they don't like your skin colour that's called discrimination and it is immoral and forbidden by law. But yet many people think racism is individual and not structural because they make the same mistake like you made here, which is coming up with conclusion without any any knowledge while scientists, researchers, investigators...etc spend time, money energy to try to find out whether racism is a systematic problem than comes a very ignorant lazy person like you to conclude that 'its not' based on 0 evidence. Civilization most dangerous problem and the source of most of them is ignorance. It is uncurable, no truth, logic or knowledge can fix it.

Europe compared to the United States in terms of racism is night and day. It felt like Europeans, for the most part, were living 100 years in the past. I will say, though, that the young Germans, for the most part, were absolutely pleasant and so fun to hang out with!! I never realized just how inclusive and progressed the U.S. is until I really LIVED in europe instead of visiting for a week here or there.... I know the media makes it seem really bad. But from living in Europe and being American. Europe is like over a hundred years in the past when it comes to the integration of others. No wonder so many Europeans countries are in decline in some way or the other. Europeans would rather live and die with whites. Then, live and prosper with other peoples of this world.

I think those living in a culture that is different to their ethnic origin will always feel some isolation. Unfortunately, racism is part of human nature. It is not only a European issue. Europeans living in other cultures also face prejudice, and I think that needs to be understood. It is natural to find closeness within ones own ethnic group. I think that is a tribal instinct amongst all peoples. In short, it will never be eliminated and can only be managed. Lastly, a model complaining about being judged on their appearance is probably pursuing the wrong career.

I'm Serbian and was living in Germany from my birth up until I was 23. Never experienced any racism . In many cases they even did not realize I was foreigner . The only thing I found out is that some Asian groups tend to be way more isolated than others. But this is not caused by racism , but by the cultural trait of many Asian people to live in tribe like society with ultra close ties with their own people.

bad example. you should pick engineer or teacher. basically almost any, ANY other profession. models work derived from situative demand. all market specialists tries to "involve" potential clients, this means similarity principal in 99% of cases. this is easy rule to follow. it is very safe solution. as sales person, you selling feelings, not goods. majority in Germany is white-skinned, and that's it. Only very specialized or creative advertising will "play" on opposites. For example - tooth paste advertising. But very that might be perceived as discrimination itself.

You obviously lack in historical knowledge so let me educate you a bit on the topic. The homogeneity in Europe was created as a result of the two big world wars.

Migration was always a status quo and it will always stay a status quo. Btw your ancestors migrated to Europe too.

[@oykuc]

I have been living in Germany for eight years, and unfortunately, I have encountered racism in many aspects of life-whether at work, school, or in daily interactions. The general attitude can feel unfriendly and unwelcoming at times. Despite my efforts to integrate and improve my German to a C1 level, it often feels as though only native-level fluency is accepted. Furthermore, English proficiency is quite rare, and there's often an assumption that everyone should already know German, which can be frustrating. In these eight years, I’ve been fortunate to make two German friends who genuinely embrace and welcome foreigners, but such open-mindedness seems to be the exception rather than the norm. I'm now considering relocating to a country where diversity and inclusion are more valued and celebrated.

1:55 "Anyone with a different skin colour or wearing a head scarf will experience racism sooner or later..." The Cambridge Dictionary says: "Race is the idea that people can be divided into groups of physical characteristcs." Now, I wonder if a head scarf is as much a physical characteristic as colour of skin? Or can it be that a head scarf is rather the expression of a religious conviction? No one has any influence on skin colour. It says absolutely nothing about a person. But a conviction or belief? That's different. It must be allowed to be critical of any conviction, including a religious one. I think by insisting on calling religious intolerance, racism, we trivialize the term. It's just not the same thing.
