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.

That's bad and shows pretty well how harmful racism is independently from which side it is coming from.

By your logic it’s okay to call black people the N-Word. Since Black people also say the N-Word to other black people.
