- nicbou 3y agoGermany has very few NA immigrants. People like those above are hinting at muslim immigrants and asylum seekers. When you blow a dog whistle hard enough, it reaches frequencies everyone can hear.
- the-dude 3y agoAre you saying I should have used the word asylum seeker instead of immigrant?
- nicbou 3y agoI was referring to the grandparent comment.
- the-dude 3y agoSo what is the actual substance of your reply to me then?
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoHe doesn't like people talking about certain immigrants.
- nicbou 3y agoI'd actually be fine with it if you actually talked about whichever immigrants you have in mind instead of "certain immigrants".
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>I'd actually be fine Your reactions to previous comments speak otherwise.

- nicbou 3y agoThere is no argument about the situation itself. I'm pointing out that this reference is so obvious that the author might as well own their xenophobia. It's cowardly. It rubs me the wrong way because if they said "middle eastern immigrants" the comments would likely get flagged and deleted (here and elsewhere), but they can pick a very obvious reference and then everyone can hop onto the xenophobia bandwagon with impunity. My annoyance comes from the last few weeks of this, sponsored by the Israel-Palestine conflict and the waves it makes in German society. Everyone is brave enough to call for drastic measures against Muslim immigrants, but too cowardly actually name the group they refer to.
- the-dude 3y agoHow are you so sure it is phobia? From my impression in NL, it is groups of immigrants who create a (violent) atmosphere in public pools. Up to the point some swimming pools don't know what to do anymore.
- cubefox 3y agoIt's not xenophobia (or racism etc) when the issues are very real. > It rubs me the wrong way because if they said "middle eastern immigrants" the comments would likely get flagged and deleted I don't get what you mean here. An accurate comment getting flagged and deleted is in fact a significant problem.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoThis comment is badly informed. Germany's big wave of controversial Muslim immigrants came from Syria and other points east, not North Africa. I understand that as a Dutch person your own country's experience is with e.g. Moroccans, but you shouldn't assume the same for your neighboring country.
- cubefox 3y agoBy the way, Moroccans are Muslim as well: > More than 99 percent of the population is Sunni Muslim, and less than 0.1 percent of the population is Shia Muslim. Groups together constituting less than 1 percent of the population include Christians, Jews, and Baha'is. https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/morocco/ https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-r... Yet when I point out that these people have this in common, people say it's bigoted.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoI was just pointing out a factual error in the GP’s post. Please don’t draw my comment into your political battle.
- the-dude 3y agoThanks for correction, you are probably right.
