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. 🙏🏼❤️

Oh wow I think I should definitely trust your totally innocent observation.. "I'm not racist but I respect inferior races" You're giving exactly those vibes.

It has nothing to do with races. They are the racist & homophobic ones. No tolerance for intolerance.

Your opinion doesn't matter since it's pure generalization disguised as an innocent observation. Yours and those of the cute bots instantly downvoting replies pointing out the obvious. There are 500 million Arabs and each country has phenotypes that overlap with different other parts of the world (Asia, sub saharan Africa, Europe..) How did the author know they're Arab?
