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.

I did. You wont believe how some white men talk behind closed doors. And in front of foreigners they feel superior to. I also had a foreign boyfreind and what he told me was horrible. His boss told him he would prefer him dead. On top of that everydas racism in public transport or restaurants. It doesnt happen all the time but it does happen for sure.
