The shopkeeper sounded like the sign arose from previous incidences. Sure, maybe it's wrong to generalize, but I can understand that she wants to protect her wares, and it seems that in her experience, children from different cultures behave in different ways. > That someone would be so comfortable being so overtly racist in front of a complete stranger who is also a customer. In the spirit of the article, by being so open, the shopkeeper demonstrated trust in a complete stranger.

What I found so distressing about this anecdote is that to me it seemed likely that such overt racism could only exist somewhere it was systemic. However I'm now of course judging all of (Munich?) based on this one anecdote so clearly no better than the shopkeeper!
