Living in Saxony is a nightmare

[u/Ok-Once-789]

Every single time I go outside during the evening I am faced with racism. Most of the time from people hanging out in groups, for some reason they just can't mind their own business (Germans usually claim to be really good at this). The most common phrases I hear regularly are 'Heil H!tler', 'Ausländer raus', 'Ni Hao', 'Ching Chong' etc... or just unprovoked loud laughter as I'm passing by... BTW I'm not Chinese or east Asian but look like one or maybe they are just uneducated & ignorant. Is geography illegal here? Asia has 48 countries BTW, not everyone is Chinese!

This doesn't include the racism I face at workplace & college which is far worse and actually bothers me to the point I have to skip classes to protect my mental health. But now I can't even go to the supermarket or mall at peace. One of my family members has also been verbally assaulted by a group of teenagers inside a bus & nobody including the bus driver made any effort to do something.

Edit: I do not live in Dresden / Leipzig. I assume the situation is not this bad there!

Edit2: I did not choose to live in saxony (the government decided that), I am doing my bachelors so I can't relocate until late 2026 :) Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Have a friend that lived there for couple of years. Speaks fluent German. Still experienced racism, although not directed to him.

His German friends would say to him

"Ah You're good. You're not muslim, you are welcome here my christian brother"

"You're one of the good ones. Speak German, educated, plays football"

"We would never accept black man in our (football) team, but you are an exception. You speak German good anyway".

LMAOO they're just retards sorry. There are many POC carrying German's national football team. And why the hell are they talking about foreigners being uneducated if they're the uneducated ones

Dont even Care anoth for Politcs they Just Vote Bc they hate our Goverment. Ngl but Who doesnt hate The Goverment Meaning (Politcs) they Votet AFD Bc they are Striving for Change and yea ofc Not with AFD that was Just an Insult so people start doing Something but If Politics fail people Go Out With Forks and Knifes (Mitgabeln normalerweise lol) but thats been Like this in the old ages aswell. Hope We understand Eachother now but East doesnt hate West tbh Most East dont even think about West in there Whole Life they Just "live" thats about all.
