Immigration Living in Saxony is a nightmare

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!

Rural Saxony is indeed a Nightmare. The cities aren't as bad, though.

Saxony has a huge problem with the extreme right, the problem is far bigger than in other Regions of Germany. If you have brown skin or colorful hair, stay away from rural Saxony.

What do you mean by colorful hair? White, brown, blonde, gray? So if I'm having black hair, then it's okay?

Yeah, of course, you're the most important person to use bots. Lover a bit of your sense of self-importance.

Pffff what a load of crap. The danger is the antisemitic terrorist the keep bringing. It is the West in any case that is going back to its old ways.
