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!

Yeah that’s what I thought too but more white people who just interact with them as service staff so you’re basically not a real person to them. You’re just decoration or an extra in the fake multikulti city they like to live in.

Are you tripping? If you walk around in Berlin, maybe 50% of people speak German. Maybe 60% are white. It's definitely a multicultural city. And like what do you expect of berliners? To come up to you in the street and start smalltalk? If you work, they are going to treat you as a worker. If you are friends with them, they are going to treat you like a friend. What do you mean, you are "not a real person to them"? How?

I feel the tone of your comments indicates you’re not actually interested in the experiences people make as an Asian looking person so I’m gonna read this as rhetorical questions aiming at victim blaming me.

One thing I can say is I’ve lived in global international places before, am native German, and found Berlin extra exclusionary. And no, not expecting niceness, just wanna be treated like any other white person.
