There are. Why wouldn't there be? There are a lot of minorities in Germany, which (sadly have to) accept daily racism. Thankfully, at this point violence against minorities (~800 right extremists violent crimes in 2022 in whole Germany) is not as high such that people consider moving away. And if you get a job there and this is your ticket into immigration, probably a lot of people will accept this to get German citizenship. Finally, this will open you access to all the working places in Europe. My hope (as a West German) is that investments like this, will increase East-Germany's economy such that they are finally equal in terms of economic wealth, which is a large factor for racism/extremism. Same with opposing climate change laws.

>There are. Why wouldn't there be? Because he said Indians are attacked on the street in Dresden. If that's the case why would you move and open a restaurant there if you're Indian? Or was he exaggerating the issue?

  "If that's the case why would you move and open a restaurant there if you're Indian?" Because some things do not show immediately and officially all is fine in Dresden. Also the racism that was hiding for some time now shows itself very openly.

  There were 13,000 Jews in Leipzig in 1933. Surely antisemitism wasn’t a problem because so many of them chose to live there. (In 1989 the city’s Jewish population was 30.)

> My hope (as a West German) is that investments like this, will increase East-Germany's economy such that they are finally equal in terms of economic wealth Is this a bad joke? Is it possible that you actually don't comprehend the ramifications of eternal human labor trafficking?

  > eternal human labor trafficking What does this mean? Are there people being trafficked in eastern Germany?

    Yes, and it's nothing new.

      Apart from just your statement this is the first time I hear about this. I mean there is trafficking everywhere but you statement makes it sound like it’s on a much grander scale. Care to provide more info?

    When rich nations destabilize poor nations and incentivize cheap labor to migrate to the rich nation.

      You might get more traction calling it "brain drain", since that's the more common term in at least the US.

        Is it "brain drain" when it's "cheap labor" that's moving, as claimed by the parent comment? Regardless, doesn't matter, since their entire point is based on a very flawed and naive idea of economic development.
