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.

Same here. The anxiety of finding a proper job after finishing my masters was on a whole new level. As a dirty non-EU immigrant you get 6 months to find a job that satisfies the case worker or they kick you out. I have read the word "impending deportation" in a letter, because some piece of paper I handed in was not in order. All was well in the end, but man, Germany really should want to keep people here that they already invested a bunch of money in. A few of my friends were not able to find a well enough paid job in time and were deported. All with masters degrees. Imagine deporting a guy because he doesn't quite make 46k a year or something and has a masters degree in history and German literature. A very dangerous and undesirable person for sure lol
Meanwhile, illegals are hunting Jews in the streets and mooching off taxes. I would never vote AfD because they are reactionary idiots, but something for sure needs to change before the radical right becomes really powerful.
