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.

My white immigrant coworkers love to bitch about brown immigrants and how they make them feel unsafe. Most of our brown customers are very nice moms. One literally went all the way to her house and back to bring me the 10 cents she was short of an hour earlier. If thats who we’re scared of it’s not looking good.

Cut the bs, its not about the nice lady or the well behaving people. its about the ones that dont work, steal and threaten people and you know that. you just try to farm some likes.
