  How's the receptivity to foreign immigrants of, um, darker complexion and that speak only English and a second European language that is not German? Also, how are public pensions? Do people expect to go by with that 30 year from now, or do people usually have a backup plan/private insurance

    In my second-hand experience, foreigners that do not speak German well are unfortunately sometimes not received friendly by government and other public staff. I don't know anybody with a darker complexion closely enough to comment on how they are treated. My suspicion is that they would feel a little like they stand out, and then depending on their German will be treated a little bit worse on average. (Sad but my best guess.) Educated young people don't believe in pensions but usually also don't have a backup plan. People 45+ expect to receive a pension.
