I just read a story on Spiegel online which shocked me: According to a new study, more than 14% of German teenagers can be considered as "anti-foreigners", while more than 5% fall into the category of the righ extreme with Nazi-tendencies.
Surprisingly, the bad reputation of foreigners seems to be higher in those regions with little foreigners (so those regions where people don't even know what they talk about!!!).

To me - this is just another example of human ignorance, but for a foreigners living in Germany, these numbers are pretty scary!
What are your opinions and personal experiences with the way Germans see foreigners?
its everywhere

About Europe, please send some South Asians to East Europe, you will see that because of their skin they will be called Gypsies (this is what I've even witnessed in my school time when Polish and Czech guys were calling Gypsies to South Asians)
British people call me Irish as I've red hair and freckles....I'm not Irish and I know how much they love anything Irish. And Brits also call any brown person "Paki"..
My Danish and Swedish friends literally dislike Muslims. Many Norwegians particularly dislike Pakistanis.
...and list goes on...Germany is not one racist country actually whole world has plenty of nuts. Norwegians are not racist people but look what one racist did to many innocent lives.
Why can we not compare Canada with Germany, we should otherwise how we will accept the truth and try to correct our society, as blame game will take us no where.
"A majority of Canadians have heard a racist comment in the past year and nearly a third have witnessed a racist incident, according to a new public opinion poll.
But while Canadians believe racism is on the rise around the world, they don't believe it's rising in their own neighbourhoods.
The Leger Marketing poll, released exclusively to QMI, found that 18-24-year-olds were the most likely to report hearing or seeing racism.
While 68% of respondents said they had heard a racist comment in the past year, that number rose to 81% among 18-24-year-olds. When it came to racist incidents, 50% of 18-24 year olds said they had witnessed one in the past year, compared to 31% overall.
Despite this, only 23% of 18-24-year-olds said racism is on the rise in their neighbourhoods, and the national average was even lower, at 14%.
Quebecers were by far the least likely to have heard racist comments - 56%, compared to 72% for the rest of the country - and just 23% of Quebecers reported witnessing a racist incident compared to 33% in the rest of Canada.
The provinces with the highest rates of hearing racist comments were Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba/Saskatchewan at 74% each, followed closely by Ontario at 71%.
The highest rate of witnessing racism was in British Columbia (41%) followed by Alberta at 40% and Ontario at 32%.
As for those reporting a rise in racism in their neighbourhood, the province with the highest rate was B.C. (18%) followed by Ontario (16%) and Alberta (15%)".

There's not much ordinary folks can do to change their skin color, facial features, height, etc, unless you want to belong to a group of superficial people who would go under the knife.
O Canada

My opinions are mainly based on my experience in Toronto though I've been to the maritmes as well as Quebec where I never experienced racism (I spoke to francophones in French so that might have helped).
The reality is that most minorities work in major cities and live in the suburbs, as long as you stay in that area, you hardly experience racism, at least not the kind of racism you may face in Germany.
No one is claiming Canada or the US is a paradise but I can tell you as a visible minority, Germany is way way worse than many other European countries, comparing Germany to Canada is ridiculously irrelevant.

Eyes are part of your body so is your skin color. Ask Chinese or other Asians that how entertaining it is for them if you call them people with no eyes.
Multicultural experiment
போஸ்ட் செய்யப்பட்டது T Y அதில் ஜெர்ம்னிஅமைப்பு
@Lovejoy, that's exactly what I've been saying. It is a social experiment implemented by EC aka the unelected globalists. Without sounding like a conspiracy theorist, I do think it's an undemocratic practice, especially in Germany where the government continues to impose multiculturalism onto its citizens against their will in order to rid of the racist image of Germany from the past, but it's ironically giving the racists more reasons to look reasonable. And the foreigners are used as ginea pigs stuck in the middle. I'm no way supporting the racists, but there won't be any peace in Germany until the Germans are finally content in their own country. And the Germans in particular are the least likely candidates for adopting to a new environment and why should they in their own country? If it wasn't for their government working for the globalists instead of for the people, Germany would look a lot different from today.

Canada is sure a wonderful country but multiculturalism is still not successful in Canada either. You will find Italian, Portuguese, Indian, Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish ghettos everywhere. Lets travel around different provinces of Canada and see how 30 Million (very tiny population) is accepting the multiculturalism. Lets start our journey from Ontario:
White population was once living in Brampton ON area and now moved to further North as it was not acceptable for them to have next door brown Indian Sikh, so they moved to Bolton, ON and now they are leaving Bolton too and moving to Barrie, ON.You go to Alberta and there you will even find Neo-Nazis, Aryan Guard is an Alberta-based neo-Nazi group with members primarily located in the city of Calgary, have you never heard about them??? Ok lets go to another province, Terry Tremaine, a former University of Saskatchewan math lecturer, has a particular hatred for blacks, First Nations people and Jews was not in contempt of the court, but only on a technicality.
And we know that how much BC loves Indian (aboriginals) here you have one example, "An elite British Columbia private school is facing a human rights complaint from an Indian residential school survivor who alleges the institution did little after she faced a racist barrage from a manager who said “all Indians are dirty filthy pigs.”

2189 Very nice and eye opening article and that comment from someone really fits many Canadians:
"Canadians like to believe that they are "too nice", that a Canadian is a human, but better than the rest, specially Americans, but I tell you, I've been in the US many, many times and have NEVER experienced racism until I came to Canada. I always thought racism was also a responsibility of the people experiencing it, but that changed when it was done to me in Canada and has been done many times over. My children want to be blond, even though they are all light skinned, almost white... care to guess why?"Do I talk about Quebec, oh well you will say that they are not real Canadians ;-)
Bingo!!!Canada is 26x bigger than Germany and its a country to welcome immigrants ONLY for its own survival. Still Canadians are not ready to give top positions to skilled immigrants. TY I close this discussion with you here as I know my Canadian fellows always think that they are never wrong eh!!

No those are not facts but really nothing more but small minded stereo typing.
Why not letting people be….instead of having to constantly analyze, judge and categorize them .

You said: "Nobody cares what clothes they wear"
I have noticed one thing in my time in the US. Americans don't mind anything until you are in a group and YOU are the FIRST to complain about something. Then most people in the group if not all jump in and agree with you.
This has happened to me a few times. Nobody was saying anything, then I say something not very politically correct, then suddenly others that didn't mind at all, now are bothered, and the more I talk, the more they feel free to speak their minds.
So I don't think Americans accept non assimilation, they are just afraid to speak up. Open the door and the true feelings start coming up.

@ YT
For a long time I did not agree with you on that point, having grown up in the natural and diverse multiculturalism of the US.
Bewildered by the frequently racist things regular people say about and to foreigners and minorities in Germany and how badly they often treat them.
But now I am beginning to wonder.After further research, it turns out that these open door immigration policies in Germany and Europe where handed down by the EU in Brussels (unelected officials) but did not come about by a democratic vote of the German citizens.
So there has been a mass migration and mass immigration from the East and from war torn African nations to Germany and other European countries without consulting the citizens or letting them vote on that ...which is possibly scaring them, not having a say so in their own countryThe recent shooter in Olso is also very emblematic of that.
Moreover, Germany/ Europe is not like the US , where just about everybody is from somewhere else and immigrants choose to live with one another building a new nation over several hundred years …a natural process and one of choice ….embracing and celebrating cultural diversity as a national value.
This also explains why Muslims in the US have absolutely no problem integrating and are just a natural part of our national make up along with all the others from over 140 countries .
Nobody cares what clothes they wear .This begs the question:
Is Brussels with their EU experiment not undermining democracy in these sovereign and traditionally mono-cultural nations?
And don’t these nations and their citizens have the right to self determine what their cultural make up is?
