It shouldn't have to be this way, but try wearing sport clothing and make it a light jog for extra health points. And by that I mean actual sports clothing, no

It shouldn't have to be this way, but try wearing sport clothing and make it a light jog for extra health points. And by that I mean actual sports clothing, not the archetypical tight Adidas tracksuit that the average European troublemaker wears.

Oh, the irony....

  Where's the irony? The bias is there whether you like it or not. Never have I ever been harassed while wearing sports or hiking clothing, including accidental trespassing in countries where I barely spoke the language. Can't say the same about the outfit I mentioned, while doing nothing wrong. The fact that the Adidas tracksuit and the tiny bag are the closest thing to the official uniform of a drug dealer in much of Western Europe became apparent really quick.

    > Where's the irony?...Never have I ever been harassed while wearing sports or hiking clothing, including accidental trespassing in countries where I barely spoke the language.

I think the OP is likely referring to the recent incident [1] in Georgia in the US where a black man was chased down and killed while he was jogging on the street in, guess what, T-shirt and shorts. I am aware that your recommendation is possibly about Germany. It's still ironic, and in my opinion your recommendation is ineffective. ---------------------------------------------- [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ahmaud_Arbery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ahmaud_Arbery

      Yeah, we're talking Europe in this thread though. Nobody ever gets shot while jogging, even less so by another civilian. Gun homicide and killed by cop deaths are orders of magnitude lower. But yeah I should have gauged my comment towards a mostly US-centric readership.
