    I agree with you wholeheartedly. And I do speak German. Passed the language test at Uni Bonn, too in order to study in Germany. So do most foreigners living in Germany. When they came to Germany, they also had hopes and dreams. otherwise why did they move?

    And there are foreigners who accept it for what it is. And yes, if they don't like it, then should leave. But some people are in Germany for different reasons, and they can't just leave. It may require them to divorce their spouses, quit their day jobs, abandon their families, etc before they leave the country for good.

    And I have lived in other European countries and visited East European countries as well. I was well adjusted in any of those situations. Yes I saw racists, too. But the rest of the time i spent in those countries, it was mostly a very positive experience to say the least. So I couldn't care less about the neo nazi kids. I speak enough French and Italian to even get by fine in Spain as well if wanted to. I learned Spanish pretty well from Latinos I met in Germany. And I've made many friends in Europe. And I can only speak for myself and share my own experience. In fact, that's all we are doing. To me, living in Germany is really one of a kind experience, very "uniquely distinct" and not a pleasant one, not because of a small number of the neo nazis, but because of the nature of ordinary Germans. You may have a different interpretation, which would be just as relevant as anyone else's.

    I suggest you visit Germany first, perhaps taking languages classes to stay there a little longer to determine if you like it, before deciding to move to Germany.
