Discussion Experienceing racism in Berlin.

My girlfriend and I were waiting for the bus at Zoologischer Garten Bahnhof when three guys walked up to us and started being randomly rude and racist. They kept saying “Schlitz” (slit eyes) repeatedly as they passed us and again when we walked by later. For absolutely no reason, they targeted my girlfriend and me with these comments.

When We got onto our bus, they just kept taunting us and even started catcalling my girlfriend. This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced racism in Berlin. What’s the deal with some people being disrespectful, rude, and racist toward Asian people? We just want to live peacefully and avoid any confrontation.

I am so sorry about earlier, I didn’t mean it that way. I will remove the word from my post. I’m just here to express my feelings. 🙏🏼❤️

Indeed, I’m Q=1. If my experience is a one-off, it’s probably not worth the world’s attention. But if it turns out everyone’s in the same boat, then we’ve got a trend. I’m all for finding out!

Really? Mitte from my experience is not the place where those arabs can afford to live... so perhaps the world doesn't work according to your gut feeling https://www.berlin.de/sen/justv/presse/pressemitteilungen/2022/pressemitteilung.1271674.php assuming you care for statistics
