Are Germans rude??

Pubblicato in Germania forum

Many of my foreign friends who live in Germany complain that Germans are very rude - or at least unfriendly.

Obviously, as a German myself I don't really experience us that way. But I would like your opinion: Are we really as cold as some people say????

    I think maybe foreigner carries a negative stigma because Germans may be fed up with seeing their country change.

    Again, just a guess. Go to Miami and you will see why most Americans will tell you that it's not part of the country. Hello? it's just not American. Too much immigration from the same culture and now, the country loses its original identity. And you go to Miami and you see that it's a mess, it's dirty, people are rude, things don't work right. How can the US be so clean and organized but Miami is such a mess?. Well, that comes from the people there and good luck finding an anglo-saxon American in Miami.

    Maybe Germans have been seeing something similar, their country changing too much and maybe they don't like it. I have read about communities where everybody in the apartments is from Turkey. Why? I think when you have lots of immigrants from the same place they stick together and keep their own culture and of course the locals don't like it because now their culture is not being respected.

    Maybe it's not the reason, but I'm just saying, it could be. Different countries have different cultures and if Germans like theirs, is it not normal that they don't like to see it change? And who changes it? foreigners? If I go there I'm sure I'll be another foreigner and I'll have to prove that I'm there because I love it and want to learn from it and behave like them.

    "Rule of thumb: the darker your skin or the more “exotic” your appearance the less relevant your German citizenship, even if you where born there."
    true

    "Furthermore can anybody explain to why being an Auslaender/ foreigner carries such a negative stigma in Germany?
    What is wrong with that in the first place?"
    indeed.. foreigner is a more neutral word in other spheres...

    "Honestly I can’t even grasp that concept and this is the first place on earth I have ever been to where basic friendliness without a specific REASON is considered to be a negative."

    well that's what it says in the bible...

    "germans, and i am generalising here (with an s, i am sorry) simply do not do soft talking. small talk at bus stations or smiling at strangers are seen as a violation of their privat space. we tend simply to ignore each other. "

    just like jesus did....

    ...how on earth is that not a snide, racist and really really dumb remark?

    And while the title of this thread asks whether Germans are rude, I think one thing we now know for sure: you are.
