So what happens when Germany gets a Chancellor that comes from a racial minority?
We already know the answer: they will claim that attacks on them are racially motivated (regardless of the truth) and shut them down. Plenty of examples of that sort of thing going on today outside of politics.
- mcv 7y agoProbably depends on whether the attacks focus on the chancellor's race or on their policy. Criticising the government's policy is absolutely vital to a democracy. Criticising someone's skin colour is not. Though if the target is a politician, I'd expect them to prefer to err on the side of allowing it.
