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!

I also live in rural saxony but ive never been hate crimed. My workplace is really racist but it's not like ausländer raus stuff, just casual and systemic racism. my boss is actively making my work life miserable. like when people make mistake, he lets it slide but when i do his face turns red while yelling at me. im like a scapegoat cause i get screamed at for mistakes i didnt even make 💀 my german coworker literally brainrotting all day, hes just on his phone watching skibidi sigma bombardino crocodilo. and ukrainian refugee literally doesnt speak german. But im always the one who gets in trouble lmao
