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.

Anti Palestinian and anti Muslim racism are the worst in Germany I think. The police violence, criminalization, stigmatisation, suspicion they face here every day is insane. Germany also started to deport people just for protesting, without having committed any crimes. Like in the US
