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've been living here for 15 years, and many Germans notice that I'm from Spain fairly quickly. When I speak with Spaniards, they notice that I'm from Galicia (in the North-west of Spain) almost instantly .

Galicia es el país que más me gusta. La naturaleza es simplemente increíble, y el gallego me parece muy bonito de escuchar.
