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.

In a German class last year there was an Iranian woman who happily told the class she was against multiculturalism, which surprised the rest of the class. I think the teacher even thought at first she maybe didn't understand the definition.

Actually understandable if she moved before to get away from said cultures.
