Great anecdotal experience. Now have a look at the wikipedia facts: In July 2017, Munich had 1.42 million inhabitants; 421,832 foreign nationals resided in the city as of 31.12.2017 with 50.7% of these residents being citizens of EU member states, and 25.2% citizens in European states not in the EU (including Russia and Turkey).[16] The largest groups of foreign nationals were Turks (39,204), Croats (33,177), Italians (27,340), Greeks (27,117), Poles (27,945), Austrians (21,944), and Romanians (18,085). The largest foreign resident groups by 31.12.2017[17] Turkey 37,998 Croatia 36,655 Italy 27,060 Greece 26,360 Austria 20,990 Poland 19,456 Bosnia and Herzegovina 18,987 Romania 17,415 Serbia 13,758 Iraq 12,124 Bulgaria 12,035 Kosovo 11,114 France 9,983 Hungary 8,621 Spain 8,614 Russia 8,603 China 7,624 India 7,440 Afghanistan 7,234 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich#Demographics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich#Demographics

  I'm not sure what you think you're trying to prove with those numbers. Aside from the fact that nationality and race are not the same thing and cannot be conflated in this context, those numbers don't mean anything. 40% of people from Mississippi are black. That doesn't mean that they don't face serious racism in Mississippi, from everyday life to their own elected officials.

    The amount of immigrants in any environment is a great indication if people are racist or not. Blacks are not immigrants in Mississippi, they did not need to make a decision to move to a new country. If Bavarians are so racist how come we have so many immigrants in Munich?

      > The amount of immigrants in any environment is a great indication if people are racist or not. No, it's not at all. There are plenty of highly racist and toxic places where people still immigrate despite the racism, for other reasons. That doesn't negate the racism. > If Bavarians are so racist how come we have so many immigrants in Munich? "If Bavarians are so racist against Arabs and so Islamophobic, why are there so many Turks, Croatians, Italians, Greeks, Poles, and Romanians in Munich?"
