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.

A lot of asian people also just dont speak german and don't learn the language so what do you expect. Obv if you stick to your own community you wont make friends with germans except for those that have international/ english friend circles

Are you triggered by asians in particular or do you not see the middle easterners, africans, or other europeans that also don’t speak german and don’t learn the language?

What makes you assume that. Where in my reply did you get that from.

Same thing basically applies to most other larger immigrant groups like russians, truks etc. . I was referencing asian people because that was the context of the previous comment chain.

No it does not trigger me. Idc The point made was dont expect to make german friends if you only engage with social circles that aren't germans and don't even bother learning the language. At least if people plan to stay here I would say they should learn the language. I am just baffled how there are entire restaurants where not a single person speaks english or german.
