    Article talking about racism in Germany.

    You : But ppl are racist everywhere!!!

    Apparently no one can complain about anything because it’s bad everywhere. Guess I should just get use to being called the N-word in Germany because Singaporeans don’t like Indians

      I’m saying that diversity takes time. I’ve seen Belgium go through different stages.

      My wife’s indonesian. You know what she’d be if she married an African guy? Disowned.

      The Congolese in Belgium seem pretty wealthy, more wealthy than the Arabs in the same cities.

      Perhaps linked to the source of immigration (economic immigrants with work visas) or their culture. Am talking bout Aalst specifically.

      I don’t have a clue about it at all, just trying to connect dots.

      You can keep talking bout racism, will be beneficial for my kid in the future.

      But don’t have tunnel vision either. There’s a lot of mono cultures out there in the world where there would be a lot of resistance to immigration. These countries would have to start from scratch when it comes to diversity. It’s not like they’d be instant paradises.

      Like china had their scandal with how they treated their minority in an area.

      And Africa… literal genocides as far as I’m aware.
