How Accurate Do You Think This Little Comparison Between Racism In The Usa And Racism In Europe Is

Is There racism against black people in Germany?

I don't think racism is worse in Germany than in USA, its just expressed differently.

In USA, due to the long history with black slaves, there is a huge historical wound concerning that in their consciousness. In Germany, there was no such contact with blacks. So there is no overt hatred for blacks from personal history of the country.

Now comes the bad news. There is indeed racism against blacks In USA and in Germany, just like everywhere. Very sad fact, but its true. It makes no logical sense, but its a fact.

Specifically in Germany, there has been some recent history of hatred towards blacks. Obviously, there is the famous event in which Hitler in 1936 was shocked when Jesse Owen, the famous US runner scored some gold medal in the Berlin olympics. Hitler had written some damning passages against many races, blacks being among them. This was a long time ago, and Nazism is more or less dead. But there are still problems in Germany with racism.

First of all, the German mentality. They are cold, calculating, and reserved people who tolerate very little inefficiency and tolerate even less something different. There is also a large amount of Neo-Nazi white-supremacists around, which the police tries to control, but is unable to eliminate. This is mainly in the poor East German regions, so avoid any city that is there. Unfortunately, Berlin has a high Neo-Nazi crime rate, so watch out.

Secondly, there is a recent historical conflict going on with Turkish people. After the war, Germany hired thousands of Turkish workers to do cheap labour and clean up their ruined cities. These Turkish people eventually stayed and raised or brought families there. Now, it's a big problem. Turkish people are often discriminated against and given crappy jobs. They have their own institutions and religious centers, which have been at times set on fire by racist Germans. Having dark skin in Germany is, unfortunately, not seen favorably. But of course, Germans are very reserved on the surface and they will be fake-polite for the most part, especially in larger, richer cities in the Western regions. Nevertheless, their true feelings are in general extremely pro-white, and pro-German.

Go ahead and visit or study in Germany! Don't let this stop you. Just be careful. Sadly, in this insane world, people jusdge by color, especially in small, traditional, ego-centric countries like Germany.

Difference between racism in South Africa and USA?

Wait till you meet Ayiza, he makes a good case for apartheid.

Why do some people hate Europeans?

Not true, it is just you that they hate, probably just because all you do is whine, complain and cry!

If millions of European illegal immigrants came to America, would we oppose it?

Once again, this is not about RACE. For the love of God, why can't you people get that through your heads? Is it really that difficult of a concept or is another way to perpetuate the "race" thing? I don't care WHO the hell it is, if you enter this country ILLEGALLY, we don't want you here! To the dude asking where is the outrage in reference to the European illegals here, have you been on the moon the past few years?? We want ALL illegals out, not just mexicans. It just so happens the mexicans are the ones prancing about, waving their flags and protesting which turns this into a mexican thing. Have you seen large groups of Europeans staging protests and daring America to enforce it's immigration laws? I haven't. Have you seen any European immigrant crime-ridden slum areas that everyone but Europeans avoid? I haven't, but I could name at least twenty areas in my city that people like myself avoid do to large numbers of illegal mexicans and the crime that they bring with them. Use your heads, people. Look at the facts. I know it's hard for the liberals to do that but if they try really hard, maybe they could pull it off.

Why so much racism in america?

Americans Are not as racist as you may think. Were you may find this is in the select few that want to express there opinions. I am an American and in no way shape or form would I criticise others because of there race. There was a period in time were racism was common, but that has died down. Because of the attack on our country September 11, 2001, there have been some racial discrimination out of fear. This was focused on Muslims, but because of what I believe in, I do not judge anyone because of there race, nationality, religion, or any other differences. As far as I can tell, It does not matter what someone looks like or believes in, they are still human and they deserve the same rights as anyone else.

Oh, For your Information, we Americans have laws against racial discrimination inwhich we cannot tell a black man that he cannot stay at a hotel or get a job at a business because of the color of his skin. Most of the racism existed before I was born. I am not saying that there is no racism, but we do get the black people saying things like, "You are just saying that because I am black" even though they know that is not true. You also hear comments like white people can't rap and so on and so forth, but when someone says that, everybody turns there head. It is not excepted in our society to express racism. People may be racist, but they have the desinsy to not say anything. What is predjudice are the things I see Europeans saying about Americans.

I saw one that said Americans were Uneducated. That is not true for most people. Now we even have it were people who cannot afford to go to school can go to school on a Federal Program. Please do not misjudge us.
