    Eye contact

    posted by  T Y in Germany forum 

    Ethnic minorities will use eye contact as soon as it becomes evident that they are talking to non-Germans, and finally can take a deep breath and relax. Living in Germany as a visible minority can be suffocating for some. German staring and avoidance can wear you out after a little while. Many Germans look away when we, minorities, look them in the eye because they feel caught staring at us.

    Whenever I'm back in Canada, I'm reminded what's normal, and it restores the faith in white folks. Lol. It's not the race, but it's the upbringing that makes us who we are.
