    Hamburg is actually one of the more open and cosmopolitan area’s and cities.
    Can you imagine how bad it is in other place or even the East.
    I am a white American, but Germany is the first place I ever lived in that made me conscious, uncomfortable if not a little ashamed of being Caucasian.
    It is gut- wrenching how ethnic minorities are treated and looked down upon.
    My feeling is that most Germans ( not all) don’t see a problem with this at all, they just don’t like to be called out on this or even worse this leaking outside of Germany or to tourists.
    They care about loosing face and their reputation but not about their behavior toward others.
