    Different skin, different experience

    posted by  T Y in Germany forum 

    Funny you mentioned German drivers. When a bunch of german guys saw me on my bike, they decided to hit the gas pedal, I almost got hit. I know I was targeted because I was riding a bike right behind a German girl. They saw us coming.

    And no, stuff like that doesn't happen everyday, but often enough to notice the pattern. and you will hear same kind of stories from others, then you will get the picture.

    Anyways, please don't let my experiences or others ruin your trip to Germany! Like I said many times, you will have a different experience in Germany as a Caucasian. Yes it is racism, but it won't affect you.

    I only speak up because Caucasians and visible minorities have totally different receptions in Germany. And we are all thrown into one category of "foreigners". It just needs to be pointed out there.
