Why I am Leaving Germany for Good And Why you Should not Come Here! 

Well I am also a migrant in Germany and .... actually u are right. There can be some situations in which u may feel like racism against u takes place. But actually that is complaining on a already high level. I lived 4 years in China and worked there. During u would commit social suicide in Germany to say something racist against let’s say African. In China u can just say. 我不喜欢黑人。and 7 out of 10 would not even see why this is a bad thing. Or Korea where I also spend some time and which is way more homogeneous and hostile to foreigners than German society. Or let’s look at Indonesia. My self I lived the last in Philippines when I was in Asia. Pre pandemic. So I can talk about this in my own experience. The main position as a German in the Philippines u will have will be being a ATM. Everyone will scam u because u are a foreigner. They will go eat with u and party when u bring some thousand pesos. Finding good friends that like u for who u are won’t be easy at all. And Indonesia ..... well even Indonesia (I was just in Jakarta once) Has some issues according to this topic. I mean despite the fact that u may experienced racism and discrimination (maybe u also imagined it was this just because u felt the situation wasn’t going the way u wanted) I would pretty much argue that u have been treated as a foreigner in Germany way better than foreigners get treated in other countries. The country I am from won’t allow anyone build a church to practice his religion. Many parents in my country won’t allow their children marry a foreigner either. Also in my country if u speak out as a foreigner against the political system u may be arrested or beaten up. U don’t have to like Germany. U can have free education here and u can hate it from the core. U don’t need to eat the German Food or value the Culture. U can even be disrespectful to it. U can do this all because, it sounds weird but it is the freedom u have here. And just as comparison. When I was living in China a guy nearly got deported because he said he likes his country more than China because it is more developed and workers rights are respected. This was seen by someone as spreading if counterrevolutionary ideas. (Also he might have mentioned other things) But however..... I wish u a great journey.

@@johanhirte9661 i appreciate your words🤗 I agree that WHEREEVER you are, there will always be discrimination. Although, in this video I was just talking about my experiences and how I feel as someone living there for 7 years. And thank you for ur wishes too😊

@@yukireena13 Well if u are sensitive to this kind of treatment I would also not recommend u. Japan, Korea and China. If u want to live in foreign Asian countries. They can be also quite racist and especially south asians are seen by many as 2nd class people. The problem is also that there no political correctness in China for example. And in Korea many won’t care also. In japan they at least won’t say it in ur face and will talk about u behind ur back. If u can speak Chinese and understand u would hear maybe many comments like: Oh 😯 her skin is so dark. That looks ugly. She should be more white. I think u should try the Philippines 🇵🇭. There u will not stand out and will see such situations less. But be careful u are in a catholic country!! Then.

@@johanhirte9661 never said I would move anywhere else 🤷🏻‍♀️

i feel the same Lynn🥺she is right its not about how long you live here, something feels not home here.

And no matter how much you try to integrate and adapt, they will always find an excuse to emphasise that you are not welcome!

@@sanja2007 Maybe because it's not your home lol

I was born here, and don't feel at home here 😁. I am American at heart.

Hi Lynn's INTENTION, I am not German. I am not even European. I have been living in an English-speaking country which a lot of young German backpackers visit every year. I have had some short, admittedly superficial, interactions with these young Germans and have not found them to be out of the ordinary. Do you think there is any big difference in mentality of young Germans in their 20s and elderly Germans in their 60s and 70s? I also once came across a German-language short documentary in which a German police officer complains that young Germans today do not have the same respect for police officers like previous generations. That caused me to wonder if young Germans are less conformist, less herd-following, more independent-minded, more rebellious and more willing to be different. What do you think? If you can help me and others to know more about what German people are really like, can you expand more on what you mean by "I feel like it is killing my soul"? For instance, you could list a number of negatives and give an example to illustrate so that foreigners can become more aware.

Absolutely 👏🏻

Exactly! Greetings Syrian Refugee 🙃😊

@@jwanmlli6653 Lol, you are really the absolute last ones with a right to complain about anything in Germany.

Maybe you are the Problem.

Im German, and lived here till I was 26 than moved to the USA for 8 years. Came back to Germany and now after 2 years Im going to move back to the USA. Of course it’s not possible to generalize things. But also lived for a while in France and even there I loved it more than in Germany.

I must say I agree with you. It did also disappoint me alot. Most of my friends have international background, so I do not have that many "German" friends as well.

@@yukireena13 Yes, mostly internationals. But being foreigner in foreigner country doesn’t mean that you can’t build your new home. I spent one year in Turkey studying as Erasmus student and I felt certainly more welcomed and accepted by local people than in Germany. I’d say that if you’re emotional person who values human contact than Northern Europe isn’t generally the best place to move to.

Agree with you. Germans are often very mean and if you say something against it, you’re just sensitive, because you can’t take the truth.

that kinda happens if you mistake honesty with rudeness

@@johnnykotletti4614 No, it’s rudeness. If I ask someone to give me a honest opinion, it’s okay if this is not a positive one. But if you just shove me your mean opinion down the throat without being asked for it, it’s simply rude. If you have nothing nice to say just shut up and say nothing.

one more lie please

@@biggiedii4889 Bruh you absolutely killed me 🤣🤣

Haven't been to Australia. But from the very few Aussies I've met, they seem very chill

It's strange how a lot of African Americans are saying the opposite: they have a better life and are seeing less racism in Germany than in their country.

Last real friendships 90% of Germans form were in High School. After that Germans have work colleagues and acquaintances.

​@@izil1feI think that goes for every country.

That's a great idea in theory, thing is laws in Germany do not allow for that. The best you can find is a job that lets you work a few weeks a year in another EU Country.

@@n1516-qk4vb Sure it is possible. Either via an Employer of Record provider like Remote or WorkMotion or as a freelancer, just to name some options

Big respect 🙌 to u for speaking the truth! Good luck to u as well dear ❤

Damn migrate back, thats savage. Wish u the best bro

everyone does even Germans

Can’t agree more. I am leaving Germany without even completing my education, which I mainly came here for. Thanks for the unhealthy atmosphere and open drug culture and the extremely cold attitude by people. I have met some nice people as well, but, to be honest, they all never looked happy. I wonder what has come up on this land and their people. It doesn’t take much to be happy and cheerful. Despite not being dependent on the system and despite studying in a paid university, I still felt that people take me for s refugee. The general population is so clueless that they do not know how to differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. Even the cops here are of no help at all when you need help. And the number of scams you can get pulled in is tremendous. How the media projects Germany as a very open-minded and welcoming society is just BS.

@@br78910 germany is so lost that even I as a german experienced racism especially in my school year from my teacher beeing one of few only germans in class and when I studied flyers hanging around "why its not okay to be white"

God bless you 🙏

@@br78910 Germans are very cold hearted and Racists.

Kindergarten. Germans suck.

This happened to me. In fact my colleagues intentionally worked slower and proceeded to insult me in German loudly and pretend to imitate me... (I was too shy to speak German and just started learning) ... I understood what they were saying. Mostly. My soul is dying here.

@@migz9932 I will be leavung nextr month........ true you said about soul......

Good that you never tried. I have C1 certificate and work in Management consulting in Frankfurt. Me along with other non native speakers (there are just a handful, though), are blatantly excluded from group conversation, where they use full range of idioms, proverbs, bon mots, colloquialisms, cultural and regional references, even local dialects, and refuse to budge even a centimeter for non-native speakers. Integration in Germany is a hamster wheel.

I always feel so happy in Italy, because I can chat to Italians and they are open and friendly back. I need to visit your beautiful country every now and then to remind myself that I am not a total freak. I’m so very glad that you are feeling happy and welcome in the UK, where I am originally from (Wales).

@@LaureninGermany great to hear that! Our hospitality is something I'm very proud of and luckily I've found a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere in England too 😊 haven't been to Wales yet but would definitely love to visit, I have heard it's such a lovely place

@@val-schaeffer1117 Wtf, for real, omg, that's shocking. I'm a procurement and supply chain professional with a British MSc degree and work experience. Do I stand a chance to find a job in Frankfurt or Germany with my skill set, my German level is B2. Just moved here.

That is a really good insight from someone who is a German by heritage. Its a good info for other international people as well that it is like that culturally and not racism. Thanx 🤗

You are right. What drives me crazy is only talk about money. Even tv commercials. Really sick. I am a foreigner who respects German laws, but not local customs. I will never try to fit in, because it is simply not me. I like professional approach to work here in Germany above all.

@@elp.3478 And you shouldn't try to fit in. But it is not local customs, it is tribalism. If you want to join a closely knitted society, you are automatically a part of a hierarchy. And as a newcomer you are at the low end of this hierarchy, and you will stay there probably for the rest of your life. That is why is stopped trying to fit in. I am just reluctant to be at the mercy of some invisible rules by some bigwigs. And you have a lot of them in germany, rules and bigwigs. Nevertheless you find social niches, and they increasing and are becoming more fulfilling. This one thing i discovered, diversity also helps many germans, who want to break up the tribal mold of their country.

@@flashnfantasy I see many Romanians from the same company do try to become Germans over night. They dress up the traditional Bayern pants, dresses, make photos on Facebook. OK everyone has it's own approach. I was looked down during work two times by two women and each time I shut their mouth instantly. From that moment all is perfect again. If you keep your mouth closed, many will piss all over you, because you are a foreigner. It is clear to me. The only surprise let's put it that way was when I registered my address in municipality. You can be registered as follower of different religions, but not Islam. She said program does not recognise it. So I said, lady you need program update, it is 2019.

Thanks for the insight

If you don’t mind me asking, what made you leave Germany? Why didn’t it work out?

@@benjackson7872 unfortunately we were facing and seeing racism almost every day and my kids were the most affected ones because of it. My family and I tried really hard to integrate into the German society by learning the language, obeying the rules, making local friends but nothing worked. We were being treated differently and unrespectfully. Racism is everywhere there's no way around it but I experienced the worst of it while leaving in Germany. non-white people like me experience these microaggressions way too often and the feeling of not belonging is the worst thing that can happen to anyone since no matter how hard you try you will never be considered German just because you don't look like a German and speak like a German.

@@avosaga5595 Well, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.

@@avosaga5595 where did you lived in germany? YES, we have idiots like that, few rasists also...but they are not germany. I´m always sad to hear things like that.

Are Canadians friendly people? I'm learning English and I'd love to make friends in Canada! I don't know if they are more open-minded.

I lived in Germany for a year and it was a living hell. Low salary, Lazy Germans Germans are very racists and are cold hearted. BTW good decision of moving out of that hellhole.

Actually biggest defenders of German discrimination (typically take-it-or-leave-it logic) are newbie third world skilled or semi-skilled migrants, dazzled by first world infrastructure, but don't know what in store for them. How do I know? I started from that point, myself.

Do you know how frankfurt is? :)

Hi. What did you decide? I'm in a similar boat as you

​​​​@@barneyy6942 I installed some dumb friendship apps... Still absolutely no luck. Sadly I was dumb enough to have surgery here to fix a simple ligament problem. Surgeon RUINED me. I'm now disabled with a degree of 30 since hands don't really qualify for much. This has forced me to live in limbo over here. Job agencies tell me to come back when I'm healed... When I go to doctors they tell me to "live with it". Being a foreigner and injured... Well.... Bottom of the food chain as you can imagine. Unlike the locals here I don't book of sick for every tiny thing. I just want to work, have a career, friends and be safe. If I could leave tomorrow I'd leave within a second and leave all the stuff I spent a small fortune to bring here but I have absolutely no idea where to go. I travel 10-20 hours across Germany to doctors to try find someone who can reverse what a German surgeon did to me. Pretty soon I will loose all hope with this country. I can't understand how third world countries have better surgeons... Who cares, have a heart and don't leave you disabled after simple surgery... I want to start mass applying for work world wide. Not sure what else to do. Trying hard to find remote work because then I can use text to talk and find ways to get the work done without bothering people or traveling. I can't cycle due to my hand... And I'm now broke because I been living off my savings to get by... If I knew what Germany was like I'd not have come here. I'd never have surgery here... Or I'd have just left the second the surgeon destroyed my life, all my talents and hobbies, career and employment opportunities. I'd have at least been able to make a plan to fix my hand with cash. I have always been motivated and hard working and strong. Life was so hard many many times but things always worked out. No matter where I moved I found friends within a week... I found ways to earn money and so on.. This place BROKE me... From an extremely fit person, exercising daily, highly motivated to buy a house and have a clean break and positive start to a new life... To someone who doesn't even want to leave my tiny room to attend a physiotherapy appointment. I am on different forums.. and found a woman that's been here 20+ years (from my country), speaks fluent German... Stuck here due to marriage etc... and she has not made ONE friend since she got here. I hear these stories more and more and more.... And people from where I'm from often go back home... And yet we ran from that place. To be honest... If I had the opportunity to leave id prefere my old life back. Maybe adding to the statistics due to crime (being a victim again) and being happy until that day is better than feeling so dead every day here. But there's no way I can get my car back, furniture back , job agencies back, etc. I can't arrive there with nothing... After selling/giving away everything at a loss. I lost so much for a better life!!! Just don't know what to do. What I do know.. if this year is just as bad as every year no matter the effort I try and try and try... If there seriously not a single surgeon here who can fix what a GERMAN surgeon did to me... I just don't want to grow old here. I'm struggling as a younger person to get help.. this is a nightmare.. this is hell. How can I do this in my 60s+??!!! I actually don't give a dam about all the "benefits" Germany has. I have paid for pvt security, pvt medical etc all my life and never once got I employment money.... If rather be happy with a career and pay for everything. Then be miserable nobody that nobody will even notice if I had a heart attack in my flat or slipped in the shower. So what will I do... Mass apply everywhere other than here... And stick to English countries. If that doesn't work. Don't know. Mass apply to whatever tops "most happiest countries in the world". If that doesn't work then reach English in Asia somewhere. Anywhere BUT here.

I'm leaving too I'm just waiting for the German passport. As refugee I could stuck here forever without this passport

​@@migz9932I'm sorry to hear that, I hope that everything will work well for you, where do you live in Germany?

Try typing "left Italy...left Spain...left the US......."

This is kind of typical for europe and reminds me of a real-life example: my own family. in the 17th/18th century my ancestors emigrated from germany to russia. They lived there for roughly 300 years. Even after THREE CENTURIES of living there no one would have ever seen them as russians. They were always german. In europe nationalities/ethnicities just stick with you forever. You will never suddenly be german or finnish or russian or hungarian or any european nationality. Its just the way it it here and it been like this since forever. This phenomenon is also very strong in middle/northern asia where ancestry is very important.

@@AS-rd4xi they were considered as german because they tried to keep their german identity by themself. They lived in their closed communities, married inside them. So if they didn't see themself as russian why russian should do that? Also Russia is multi ethnic country and russian it's only one of many ethnisity who live there. So it's totally normal to be tatar or german or korean and not to be considered as outlander at the same time.

@@AS-rd4xi - Well said. Your comnent is very true. I am an Asian who emigrated to Germany.

It depends. For me it's how they behave, how good they speak the language etc. But if you don't know a person the first impression without speaking to them will be how they look.

@@bazzybon in Russia all ethnicities beside russians are considered Power class! Espeacially when u look on Germans! They were extorted and robbed several Time thrpughout history! Same like today with the current war!

Germans are extremely racist, they just do not express it in categorical terms, but there are unbearable amount of aggression in air. Even skilled migrants fluent in German are not accepted. Every interaction feels inches away from eyeroll or deep sigh, one grammatical error away from being labelled unintegrated, one complaint away from being told to go back to where they come from. "Germans are just cold in general (including to each other as well)" - no they are NOT. Germans are quite friendly with Caucasian migrants. People can be distant and reserved because of several reasons. In Switzerland people are distant to each other because they are introverted. Germans are very very extroverted. They are distant out of xenophobia.

Bye we dont need you! Maybe its not the people its you! Take ur free education and leave or try to geh sone friends outside of university! In Germany u dont have 100 friends u have few real friends!

Absolutely same experience. They dont want internationals as a part of them. I guess only international students end up getting to know each other and be for each other. But at the end of the day its important to find inner peace or it just eats you up from inside here. Thats the reality.

I could never bring myself to understand why would anyone choose a German University for education, free education is not everything. America is and will always be the best place for higher education PERIOD.

Where did you live in Germany?

Well, you should never count on being appreciated somewhere else because you are a foreigner. When you go anywhere else from your hometown, you must make the efforts to get accepted by the locals. You come, they are already there. It will never be "hey, here I am, I am a foreigner, I am so great, love me". Wherever you go, maybe exept for the classical migrant societies such as Canada, Australia or USA, there will be a struggle to be accepted. And for a German, the "hi we love you" approach in the USA can also feel false...

@corvus corax: Thailand is Asia - in Thailand Europeans tend to lord it over the local people, same in Indonesia - the WORST for this are, unfortunately, German tourists, many of whom are in fact sex tourism among paedophelia is very widespread. No one in either country has treated European people badly or made anyone feel unwelcome od made sweeping calls for exclusion of "Europeans" because of the disgusting activities engaged in by a large number of Germans who go there for sexual pleasures that are criminal in their own country. (Even more ironic, for all the racistly-tinged discourse about helping "civilized white Europeans", Ukraine has become an even bigger destination of choice for the rampant German child-sex tourism as it is ripe for the picking when it comes to sex-trafficking). Interestingly enough for all the big tall talk and Junkers' arrogance (& NO, i m NOT stooping to claim that these warped individuals define the entire ethnicity): Germany owes its post war success to US MRshall Plan money to rebuild the country, AND to Russian energy without which Germany will be destitute. Why is it that SOME Germans have the audacity to look down on non Northern Europeans while Germany goes begging China and Arab countries for desparately needed fianncial bailouts - if Germany is so great, why does it need foreign capital - especially capital from countries whose people are oftetimes despised in Germany?

The country isn't actually as big as Canada and the US for accommodating large numbers of migrants, but it's pretty good when you look at other European nations in this regard.

Wow this is how I've been feeling. I'm an aruban living in the Netherlands. I'm alone here. I've been living here for 7 years. Coming from a country with friendly and outgoing people I was always very sociable and outgoing. But everything has changed since moving herr. In the beginning I was friendly, greeting strangers and was trying to make friends. But my intentions were not well received by the dutch. I've seen and felt how that light of mine has slowly dimmed over the years. To make matters worse I now have social anxiety because of this. It's because I've been trying so hard to fit in that I felt I couldn't be myself. This anxiety has also caused me to have some stomach problems. I don't even recognize myself anymore after these 7 years I went from the social, warm personality girl to the girl with social anxiety. I feel like I'm not even human anymore. Like I don't have soul. The only thing that's keeping me going is my dog and my faith. I'm thinking for a way out of here. At this point I don't care if I have to go to Pakistan for example. I just want to be surrounded by friendly, humble people who care about eachother. I wanna leave this soulless place and back into humanity.

@@yukireena13 Okay then - what's the point of this rant about Germany in particular? #thinkbeforeyoupost

These people that are clearly foreigners, moving to a country with a different racial makeup and culture expecting to be treated as if they're in their home country. Asian countries are not welcoming to Westerners. To hear her gripes is the height of hypocrisy. Wester Euro countries, and America, seem to be the only places expected to actively promote a foreigner's culture over their own. One visits Japan or China, you're not welcomed if you are expecting locals to view as one of them, and accept your cultural elements that are likely in opposition with their own. So sick of this. Glad she's doing Germans a favor and leaving the country. I hope more of them come to the same conclusion.

@@austntexan I totally agree here!

@@austntexan you can't even visit Japan that easily.

@@austntexan asian countries are not welcoming to westerners? What? You haven't been to Philippines then. Also, we're not rude to people because of their race or social status, we're not rude without a reason or hate people without a reason. Other countries are just more "hypocrite" than others.

​@@miajones2731 I've never been to the Philippines so I don't know about it there, but I've been to Japan and while there weren't any big issues in the bigger cities and the people were quite friendly there, once we went a bit outside of the typical tourist destinations, people were extremely unwelcoming and sometimes even extremely racist. Racism is not a white invention and exists pretty much everywhere.

While there are some problems it goes both ways.

you know why they dont have children? because they are selfish. they want to f*** around till theyre 35 and choose career and themselves over everything else. the poorest people in the country have most children. this tells you that it isnt a money issue. the foreigners don't only do the shitty jobs. the country where most foreign docs come from is actually syria. the hospitals are full with arab docs. the mint courses are full with foreigners. but they blame every single problem on foreigners when they themselves have their share in it. who created that excessive bureacracy that is paralyzing everything? the foreigners? who has made germany energy dependent on russia? the foreigners? germany is getting poorer and poorer. but why? because they dont invent anything and everything that was invented 5 decades ago can be produced much cheaper outside of germany. is this the guilt of the foreigners?

Totally agree!

The best comment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Then why don't you?

@@FarmerSchinken I actually did 2 days ago, got a Job in Olso and until now it seems to be better than Germany. People mind their own bussiness and no body say my country my country

TRUE MATE.... LEAVING NEXT MONTH,,,, ME TOO AFTER 12 YEARS.........

Typical "endless hamster wheel" argument. Germans are cold and hostile. Punkt. Just compare British Indians and German Turks. The latter have been forced to be in Döner shop for 3 generations. Cities are divided along ethnic lines. If, third generations do not speak good enough German, you are using German as excuse for exclusion.

@@val-schaeffer1117 I’m sorry, and your point is? I live somewhere in Central Europe, not Germany. I could relate a bit to this lady, and I felt she should have not given up. I was trying to be somewhat sympathetic to her.

@@DavidJones-oc3up My point is entirely clear. "Once they get to know you .." is no argument at all. If perfectly decent, well educated, law abiding foreigners are refused basic acceptance, then the problem lies with the host society. There are other factors, like racism, notably relevant for the lady in this video.

@@val-schaeffer1117 Understand. Thanks for explaining.

True only for western part of Europe. Most well developed countries don't welcome anyone and they are too busy thinking about their own problems😂

It's not racism. Just read the comments from other europeans In many parts of Germany social circles are very exclusive. If you're not part of a friend circle then it's extremly hard to get invited or included. But once you're in one you got very very loyal friends. It's very common for germans who move to another city to have trouble making friends, and that's without language and culture barrier. It's actually a bit like Beijing, in my experience. People there also have very exclusive social circles

I always say to foreigners that being a member of a local club is the key to be an insider of the community. Especially in villages.

I would probably suggest people to live in Berlin because how international it is, And I almost moved there before deciding to go back😉

Well said .

Finding a flat in a big city in Germany for rent can take 3 years...🎉

Why not now? How will it get better?

Not at all. I got treated like trash by my colleagues. Unwelcomed etc. now I have such bad anxiety I can't even speak German anymore even to order a coffee.

They think that you’re there to steal because their ancestors came to our lands (Africa, Asia,etc) and stole.

I feel you. I spent a summer in Heidelberg and it was the most miserable summer of my life. I have been to 116 countries and Germany is at the very bottom of my list in terms of quality of human connection.

@@manolodequeretaro ive been born here i know exactly what you mean i feel out of place lol

The worst professionals I've ever seen. I'm a nurse and how they practice here is so cold and distant, almost all of them. It's hugely all about the money. 1st hour at work is for drinking coffee then the gossips... To notarize a simple letter, 3 appointments and a bag of money, same would require only 5 minutes and about 7 dollars in the USA. Every professional thinks they own the entire business by their attitudes. People who don't even listen, then only want to run their mouths. Very ignorant of the world outside their small cocoons...

@@nursemaggie2321 Nurses! Oh my. In 2020 I fell on my back and bruised it so badly, that the swelling tempered with some nerves, which sent shooting pains from hell through my body. When my legs blew up from the pain medication, I had to go to the hospital. In the first hospital, they insisted upon me taking the Covid test from both the nose AND the throat. Since I tend to throw up from merely brushing my teeth, I informed them, that the nose had to be enough. They dismissed me immediately and made me sign a paper, that I refused treatment! In the second hospital the nose was enough. I was admitted at night and the night nurse was alone. I needed to go to the toilet. That excuse of a nurse forced me to walk a few steps, which was very dangerous, for I could hardly move then. The chance of me falling on the floor was big and my back already was badly hurt. She had no idea what was wrong with me AND didn't listen at all. Mean person. Fit for any Nazi camp a few decades before. Later I heard her force someone else too. I complained to the hospital, but as far as I know, nothing was done. Since my legs were so swollen still, after days I finally got physical therapy. The doctor had instructed the physical therapist, that I had to learn to walk with crutches. Mind you, by now the swelling was a lot less from different medication, I could walk. Careful, because of my back, but I had no problems any longer with my legs, apart from some swelling and pain still. Although I told my physical therapist, that I rather had him massage my legs (I know that's done when they are swollen), he couldn't go in against the god doctor's orders and did the stupid crutch walk teaching. Never needed those crutches of course. Had to pay a bit for them though. And there's even more! But yeah, this IS Germany. This IS why I label them as unjust, incompetent and power abusers. I've SO many other instances, that hurt me deeper, than this. They literally try to ruin you and everything you ever worked for out of ... ? No idea, out of what really. Too idiotic to comprehend. Mean, vicious, slandering, backstabbing people. But again, there are some normal people here too. Alas, they are victims of the same idiotic system as well.

@@gardenjoy5223 so sorry to read that, glad you made it out in one piece. This is a place where knowing much about the things you need the most is important bc they'll just run you in circles until you can no longer comply.

My English Teacher is from Scotland, he is the best and gives extra points for Scottish accent :D

And I love Scotland. Greetings from Germany. I hope the Scottish people will be independent from the Union and return to the European Community. The battle of Culloden made you British, but you are Scottish!

Theer keen beee ooonly wahn!

Many greetings back to Scotland! It is a great and beautiful country, and I wish you all the best!

Lol thanks for making us feel better xD

It's not gaslighting. She's a foreigner, demanding that she be treated as if she's an ethic German. It's no different than a German immigrating the Indonesia and attempting to live with the Asmat tribe, and expecting they all look at her as the same, even though she's clearly in need of sunscreen and a top. She's not from Germany. She doesn't look like a German. She speaks the language with an accent and grammar mistakes. . . yes, people will look at her as not being part of the dominant culture. Nothing wrong with that. She chose to live there. That she would even expect different treatment is asinine.

To treat people different because they “look different” is not okay. It’s called racism

@@austntexan To say: "well, that's how it is everywhere" is a cop out. You should be far more educated than a rural tribe. You know better, but refuse to try. This is the 21st century. Do better.

Thailand is Asia - in Thailand Europeans tend to lord it over the local people, same in Indonesia - the WORST for this are, unfortunately, German tourists, many of whom are in fact sex tourism among paedophelia is very widespread. No one in either country has treated European people badly or made anyone feel unwelcome od made sweeping calls for exclusion of "Europeans" because of the disgusting activities engaged in by a large number of Germans who go there for sexual pleasures that are criminal in their own country. (Even more ironic, for all the racistly-tinged discourse about helping "civilized white Europeans", Ukraine has become an even bigger destination of choice for the rampant German child-sex tourism as it is ripe for the picking when it comes to sex-trafficking). Interestingly enough for all the big tall talk and Junkers' arrogance (& NO, i m NOT stooping to claim that these warped individuals define the entire ethnicity):

@@spaceowl5957 she is the racist. Not the native, indigenous population.

Exactly. Spoiled brats!

No it depends on people there . I’m living in saudi Arabia since I was 26 and it feels like home

I have lived in Switzerland for 2 years, following 8 years in Germany. Always felt at home in CH, but never in DE. Do you think German born and raised foreigners feel accepted in Germany? If not, you are xenophobic and see Germany as an ethnic state.

@@val-schaeffer1117 I think it is etnic state

@@user-bm8uu5eg5y What is "etnic" state, and why is it so?

I understand where you are coming from. Best of luck for you in the future💛

Well German society is a very social, Americans even call ist socialist society. If society takes care of you whatever happens, that is only possible if everybody follows the rules In the US you might be more independent and less regulated, but you are also much more left on your own and alone. And people in the US do live with each other, just next to each other. That's why you have China town or Little Italy.

@@alexlohgen492 The creator of this video and many people commenting on this video feel very isolated in Germany, so the notion that "German society is a very social society" does not align with many people's experiences, even people who have lived there for years. My guess is your reaction to the sandrabunch8983 comment is based on your deep-seated Anti-Americanism.

Brazil and Argentina barely have any immigration at all and Germany has more than the US. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_by_immigrant_population

True

How is it going now?

When I lived as an immigrant in Switzerland I lived isolated until after I joined a local club. In our little German village we were isolated until our first daughter was born. The other immigrants I know in my current village are doctors, scientists, pharmacists, workers of all kinds and so on. And it quite common for all to speak German fluently enough to communicate. If you had a bad experience and many other did not you might want to think about whether you had a part in that. I usually do.

@@wora1111 Ich spreche gut Deutsch. Ich habe mehr als nur die Grundlagen gelernt, bevor ich nach Deutschland ging. habe in meinem Land auch Kommunikationswissenschaften studiert. I did everything I could to perfect my German, improve in my career or have a decent job, have a social life and integrate into society. but I always had to face many obstacles and setbacks! many doors were closed to me! I assure you that there are many cases similar to mine!

@@manuelcastre8778 ok, Deutsch war also sicher nicht Dein Problem. But I think it is to simple to just assume the problem must be Germany or the Germans. I am not exactly a lovable guy myself but I have found people to associate with everywhere so far. Ask a good and honest friend what your problem might be.

@@wora1111 I regret wasting many years of my life in Germany!!! Leaving Germany was one of the best things I did in my life!!

@@manuelcastre8778 so many different languages and you chose to speak FACTS. bro even though i Was Born and raised here im still treated like a 3rd class citizen because of my turkish roots and my middle eastern appereance. Germans are easily one of the most racist folks that exist and ill be the happiest man on this earth when i finally have enough money saved up to move tf out somewhere Else.

But sometimes there are more bad ppl in some countries , unwilling to be tolerated like the german 😂, expect foreigners to change but as a german themself , they change no shit ? 😂 then banned foreigners comming then stop doing tourism then ? Wtf ? Stop selling stuff to Asian then ? Stay in the their group ? 2 words only" FUCK THEM "

Dude, i hope you stayed in China. Germany sucks

@She tang hey. I'm in Germany now for 5 months, is hard but doesn't suck , have high paying job, got dream boyfriend like in a week and we are moving together this month to a new huge duplex, so is not so bad...plus I have my residence permit till 2026 :) 😀 and in 2 years I can apply for unlimited residence permit.

Problem being a lot of people not wanting to assimilate. You have to if you wanna make a country your home. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I think It might depend on the race. If you’re from the UK and you would probably have a easier time assimilating.

In my german class (this was way before the asylum seekers exodus in 2015, I came to germany in 2003), foreigners or Auslädern who are white like for example from spain, italy, us, australia, poland - they have a different experience in germany. They are treated and tolerated much better than the blacks, browns and asians. They mostly make german friends easier, invited in gatherings faster and so on. So your opinion that "one would always feel like an outsider because you are" is not always the case for all foreigners. I am a german citizen but believe me, my australian brother in law, who doesn't speak a word german is better treated by my neighbors everytime he comes here. I find it absurd since I live here waaaaay longer and do everything german, fluent in german, I do not accept social help or money from the government, I pay taxes, I own a big house, I bake cakes for the neighbors, giving everyone vegetables from my garden and still seen as "komisch" and as "Außenseiterin". So please tell me what should I expect?
