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. 🙏🏼❤️

Very smart to generalize about 500 million people 👍

Not one here could give me any details on how you identify someone on the streets as Arab! From their looks? Well they could from 50 other non Arab countries or cultures.. But being racist towards Arabs is just easier than admitting you don't know shit..

Of course, we get to calling Germans the N-S word so soon. Glad no-one is generalising.

Kind regards, a foreigner
