So if people are so poor that they cannot feed their family, it's - at least generally - their own fault? Specially in a notoriously wealthy place like Munich?

So if people are so poor that they cannot feed their family, it's - at least generally - their own fault? Specially in a notoriously wealthy place like Munich? And you, Watrami, volunteer for a food bank there to help people that hurt themselves through their own misguidedness - is that it?

You thought social services didn't have it's share of racists ? They see never ending misery (because if the misery stops they stop seeing the people), and they must have an explanation. Obviously they have the same demands for an explanation as society at large: they themselves are perfect (for example, these kids go to school, so they can be taught German, it just doesn't happen), so the explanation must be something else. It can't be them, themselves. It can't be the support structure. It can't be society around them (even though one just exposed himself as somewhat of a racist). So who is left? Homeowners, banks, that sort of thing if they're generous. The immigrants and their backwards ways must just cause it themselves! (and I might agree: in some cases that's true. Generally it's not) It's like youth services. They generally blame what happens to kids ... on the kids. And if not on the kids, then on the parents. The most generous will blame the most useless blame of all "society". Never themselves. Despite research pointing out that the many "missed" kids (who stay with abusive parents) have a far better life than foster kids. In other words: even when you can prove that it is the social workers themselves CAUSING misery, they will still blame anyone else. And in Germany, like in many other places, give a try to finding an Arabic-language German course book for cheap, through social services. Go ahead, give that a try. That doing so is so very hard, of course, has nothing to do with immigrants failing to learn.
