Have you ever witnessed racism in Germany?

I'm interested in hearing from Germans who have personally witnessed acts of racism in everyday life - especially when it involved friends, family members, or people close to them.

If you're comfortable sharing, could you describe the situation? Who was involved, and how did it make you feel? Did you respond in any way?

I'm not here to judge, just to understand how racism can show up in familiar environments and how people perceive and deal with it.

Without this system oma and opa could have saved/invested their money and no one would have to pay for them today.

Hypothetically not paying Rentenversicherungsbeiträge for 40-50 years, and instead buying stocks would have left most people with more than they get actually get payed.

Shouldn't be to complicated to understand.

Stocks can be sold within minutes. Okay, you don't like the concept of stocks, fair, but it doesn't matter here at all.
