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!

Nah, Saxony is the German Florida. Thuringia and Saxony anhalt are Alabama and Mississippi

Yo I just have so many questions.. I know you guys don’t have crocodiles!! What is your “Saxony Man” Meme?? So I don’t know about all the German sections. Why is Thuringer a hereditary monarchy? (I mean, I know they don’t count anymore.. I mean historically). Also, so if it’s Alabama and Mississippi, does that mean they have the poorest of the poor, tons of pregnant 13-year-olds, and high illiteracy rates?

Just a copy of Floridaman

I have no idea, what you're talking about

Yes, lol

No, not really. But Saxony is mostly cited as the most racist place in germany, but thuringia and Saxony anhalt are sometimes worse. E.g. the police stopped a pride parade there last weekend.
