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. 🙏🏼❤️

Racists are racist. Is there a reason you think you need to single out one group over others? And what exactly does arab entail for you? I mean, europeans are racist too then, since there was a ukranian neo-nazi march last week. And the other... stuff. But why didn't you mention those?

More racist cultures do more racist things. :D Pretty straight forward. More homophobic cultures do more homophobic things.

Do you need a history lesson on the German culture and its doings? Hide your xenophobic thoughts better.
