    Young Germans too

    @John, first of all, Bravo for doing the right thing. It takes extra courage to speak up as a foreigner in Germany.

    Since we are swapping stories, I got another one. I got on the subway in Berlin, then I noticed there were 2 more Asian guys that looked like Vietnamese immigrants. And with me being an Asian, god forbid, 3 Asians all in one subway car, that was too much to handle for Germans. A bunch of teenage German girls started insulting us by saying stuff like, eeewww, why do we have so many Asians in Germany, they can't even speak German let alone English, too stupid to learn another language. they should stay in elementary school, etc, etc.

    I can relate to the African gentleman you were talking about. He could have said something, but there also could have been neo nazis on the tram, and the situation could have been a lot worse than a spit. I also pretended to be a tourist and ignored it because it was packed with other Germans who didn't say anything to the girls. just felt bad for the other Asians who probably have no other option, but to stay in Germany for the rest of their lives. And because they are in Germany, they kind of have to take it because that's how it is in Germany though everyone knows it's wrong.
