Racism in Germany | DW Documentary

Not only in the U.S.A., but in Germany, too, people encounter discrimination based on their skin color. What are the lives of Afro-German youngsters and women like? Where do they run into racism, and how can their rights be better protected?
Ana, Besong and Kalsoumy tell us about their everyday lives. Twelve-year-old Besong is at the top of her class, but often, she still feels ignored by her teachers. Kalsoumy will soon be starting at university. She says, when applying for apartments or internships, she can never be quite sure that prejudice wasn't a factor when she's turned down. Ana tells about her everyday experiences with racism, whether glances on the subway or fears of violence when she walks home through the park in the evening. All three are very familiar with the question, "Where do you originally come from?” It seems to question their very identities as Germans. How can real change finally be achieved? A report by Mariel Müller.

After 8 years in Germany I’ve never experienced “active racism” but rather “passive racism”. Finding an apartment, making a career, applying to jobs….Even if you are more qualified than a German and also speak their language, they will always pick you second to Kevin who spent a semester “volunteering” in Bali.

[@MementoMori_2070]

ph19 R discrimination and racism in the USA developed over centuries. From our American perspective, Europe admonished The treatment of Blacks in America and sought to eradicated the slave trade to the colonies. American Politicians and law makers for years keep blacks in a bad condition socially and economically because we are the minority. Europe didn’t have the civil rights movement, Jim Crow laws, segregation, lynching and slave plantations. So your system is more liberal and open to immigration and people of Colour. Ours is quite the opposite. Yes every country has its issues Europe’s discrimination is not of the same quality as the USA. I would say centuries behind

I spent a 5 hr layover in munich on the way to vienna and I felt more out of place and isolated than I’ve ever felt all my 30 years living in Australia as an asian. Born and raised in aus with perfect english and I couldn’t help but feel like seemingly everyone was staring at me. it wasn’t just a glance either, it felt as though they either wanted me to know they were staring (glancing away after 2 seconds of eye contact) or were eager to let me know how an animal in a zoo must feel at a persons passing curiosity. The Lufthansa flight attendants were also extremely curt to say the least. A warm welcome to all other caucasian passengers and no greeting whatsoever as I boarded. I can’t be bothered mentioning the service at the food court just ordering a simple pretzel and coffee. Never felt such a cold welcome in any country ever, during a layover no less. First and last visit. God bless, germany.

I am nearing 60. I can understand a small portion of how these young people feel. My parents immigrated to North America after WWII and we were the only German household on the block and more or less the community. There was a lot of suspicion. So much so we were not allowed to speak German at home. We were called an "N" word too: Nazis. We were also called krauts, The shame that Germans felt after WWII we also felt here as we were demonized as a people even though my mom was only a child when WWII started. I was picked on mercilessly at school and I too thought when will this ever stop. I know it is not as bad as what black people experience daily, but I understand the pain and other feelings that arise from it. Then when I went to university I was one of three women in a class of hundreds of men in the Faculty of Science 35 years ago - many of the male students refused to work with the female students until they found out we had very good grades - because we had to work twice as hard for our places. I had found out that I did not get admitted to the Engineering Faculty- they said because of my calculus final grade from high school (only 82%); but then I found out men were admitted with grades much lower than I had to the same Engineering Faculty. Workin in IT again I am the odd one out yet because I am a white woman in a sea of East Indian men - frequently they talk in Hindi or Gujarati to exclude the non-East Indian staff. So no matter what age, or race, racism is still rampant. The thing that I learned in the end is to work hard and to look at these things that it is the other person's problem and not your own. There are many examples of people from different races that experienced this and turned it around, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and many others. I don't think racism will ever be eradicated in my life, but we can chose to celebrate our diversity and learn new perspectives that can help us along the way.

For those who says that this not that bad or stop forcing diversity or feeling uncomfortable is not that bad or you're not German if you're not white , try walking a mile in their shoes or much better, just stop traveling. Just stay where you are, where everyone looks the same.The fact that one don't understand other people's suffering says a lot about one's character. Most whites expect to be well treated in other countries while traveling but here z:B in DE some people don't see a problem making people of other race uncomfortable. I say, if you're not racist like most people say here, don't stare. It's rude. If you're curious, better ask. Get to know them. Stop building prejudices inside your head. It's not helping anyone.

I'm a 64 year old white man who grew up in the all white suburbs of Chicago. I started coming here to Jamaica when I was 17. I have studied Jamaican and American history extensively. Racism will always exist until everyone on planet earth has the same skin color and look. Its human nature and can't be changed by political correctness or through legislation. It can only change through evolution. The black people of Germany have a far different experience than the countries where slavery existed. Me being white in Jamaica I experience racism every time I go to town. I just accept it as I know the source of it well, the history is hard to read it will break your heart if you have one. And the black experience in Jamaica is far different than the black experience in America. I'm at the end of my life cycle and very content with that. I feel for the humans of the future my grandchildren its not going to be the same experience I had that's for sure. Locusts, covid 19, racial unrest and crazy people like Mr Trump its not a good world to be in right now. One love everyone.

You have made a deep reflection, so the conclusion is not wrong. However, I think that by having an active attitude to fight racism, much can be improved!

@Patrick Turner Reading throughout all the various comments, all I could think of was John Lennon's song "Imagine". My parents came to Canada from Germany/Netherlands after WWII and I've battled some sort of *ism all my life (racism, sexism, etc. etc. etc.). One needs to look at the individual and not the race to see that this is where the problem starts and if someone feels threatened essentially it is their life that ends up pretty miserable in the end. Once a person starts treating others as sub-human they also diminish themselves eventually becoming a person no one wants to be around. I very much identify with what you say about how barbaric the world has become. One only has to look through the comments to see how many ugly/vitriolic posts there are to witness the savagery of modern times. I'm relieved I won't have grandchildren because they won't have the same quality of life we had before 1980 and likely with global warming who knows if anyone will survive past 100 years from now. I'm also relieved my parents didn't see what the world has turned into in the last four years, my mom's younger sister and brother in law died in the last year and they didn't have to live through what is happening in the elderly residential care homes. Take care of yourself Patrick... Chin up maybe we will see a change that will come.

Many people felt surprised, over whelmed and helpless when they saw a large number of migrants coming into their country many with smaller kids and nobody asked the german citizens if they want open borders and uncontrolled illegal migration. Some so called non - profit or NGO - organizations supported and funded the migration. They mostly live from social benefit money from the german taxpayer. This does not justify any form of racism or inappropiate behaviour, but many germans are upset and feel uncomfortable and are worried about the future .

I am not Black so I might be completely wrong here. But I am an immigrant living in Germany for 15 years and lived in Eastern, western and southern part. I have completely different experience and is just my own opinion. People should not compare Germany with the problems of America or Australia or Canada (They all are immigrant Countries means majority of the people living in these land are immigrants and having killed their lands own identity). Hence said that it would be almost impossible for an immigrant to identify themselves as Germans or to matter any European countries even though they have been living in Germany (or other European countries) for generations. The question will always rise up and is natural. To continue the other topic most of the people in Germany are just curious and hence some people ask questions and I feel they are really open-minded people. And racist people can be found every where in the world it does not mean that whole country is racist.

[@nachannachle2706]

As a 1st generation African in France, I agree that people will always ask the question "Where are you from?" to try to find any possible commonalities. I usually get this question from people who have been/lived/travelled to Congo DR, Nigeria, Ghana and Tchad. That said, I PERFECTLY understand why it can quickly become tedious for a 2nd generation youngster who was NOT born in Africa, has NEVER been to Africa or, in case of a bi-racial kid, might have NEVER lived with their African parent. Yes, it is tiring to be asked a question you have no real answer to. When you are German by culture, residence and nationality, you don't know any other culture, what else is there to say? I could easily blame this frustration kids feel on the parents who fail to transmit the African culture to their children, but that would be extremely reductive and inappropriate of me. >__

As a relatively dark skinned person also living in Germany, I never have a problem with the question „Where do you come from“ it opens a conversation, it shows that people show interest, I never approach it negatively.

I do Identify my self as German, my father was German, I speak the language fluently, when people ask questions like that, I always answer that while I was born in Germany, my Mother and Grandparents came from this and that place.
