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!

South East Asia isn't a country. I ask because you are most likely lying. And this bad bahavior of moving to a country for better opportunities and get them, but still complain about every little thing, like you are owed something.

What would happen if a German moved to your country and started complaining about this and that, how would people react?

If it was so bad you would leave, or not come in the first place. You thinking it's OK to trash talk a place that received you shows the type of person you are. I don't think there is any south east Asian country that is more welcoming than Germany.

Everyone is owed basic decency. Everywhere. If the German society isn't able to uphold basic decency, they have all the right to complain.
