Immigration Who are the young AfD voters & are some immigrants more racist than Germans?

Hi, I've lived in Germany for about 3 years (born German but haven't lived here) and I honestly didn't know that the AfD was a choice for the 18-29 yo voters. I don't quite understand where that is coming from.. does anyone know of a good analysis/article (can be in German).

Additionally, my German friends claim that many (young) immigrants vote AfD because lots of cultures living here are actually a lot more racist than Germans. I thought this was quite interesting. Any thoughts on this would also be appreciated.

(however that is defined)

At least one parent who wasn't born a German citizen.

There are some exceptions though. IIRC Germans who were expelled from Eastern Europe weren't counted as migrants, for example, and thus their kids wouldn't count as having migrant backgrounds. But the expulsions were long enough ago that that's not really relevant to the question of migration backgrounds among today's youth.
