Continental Europeans have very bad experiences with British tourists. I really like Brits, but just if they stay on their Islands. And I am quite sure I get support from around a 100 Million dead guys from India. Turks are a very big community (I guess more than 20 Million counting all generations) in Germany with a lot of not well adapted folk. In my 2500 souls german home village live people from more than 40 nations. I never heard negative comments about them from one of the natives. But the shithole you live in of course may vary.

Aren't you just proving my point, though? Your post is objectively xenophobic. > Continental Europeans have very bad experiences with British tourists Funnily enough I've never been anywhere where our trashy British tourists go (why would I?). So actually I don't know what they're like, but I've heard very bad things. I've also heard even worse things about the Dutch, though. > And I am quite sure I get support from around a 100 Million dead guys Well whoever they are that you're talking about, they are dead, so I am not sure they're in a position to support you at all. Having said that, I wonder what the all the dead Europeans and Jews murdered by Germans would think of Germany. > But the shithole you live in of course may vary I live and work in Hamburg. >Turks are a very big community (I guess more than 20 Million counting all generations) in Germany with a lot of not well adapted folk. Yes, because of how the majority ethnic German population treated them and continues to treat them. It's a very racist country. That's what living and working in Germany and falling in love with a Turkish German taught me. Thank you for the cultural exchange.

  People will always find reasons to complain: ‘Cliched’: Turkish-Germans react as president brings kebab on Istanbul trip https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/24/cliched-turkish-germans-react-as-president-brings-kebab-on-istanbul-trip https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/24/cliched-turkis...

    > Are you mentally ill? Is that really necessary? Also I'll second it, your comments are objectively xenophobic. > never about Scots, either Considering there are 10x less of them not particularly suprising... > And yes, other monkeys are murderish assholes, too Germans specifically (the British never even came close historically...). Or you won't say it?

        I think it's great you're engaging in casual anglophobia and xenophobia, it just perfectly demonstrates how xenophobic Germany is, it's such a nice example. I have a funny story, my grandfather actually was German and fought for the Nazi German Empire in WW2 and moved to the UK afterwards. He used to cry about how much worse the English were and how unfair it all is that the Nazi German Empire (your Nazi ancestors) is vilified compared to the English. Will you bring up the Boer War now? He used to do that too. Anyway it's all very on brand for a German to give off pretty familiar national socialist vibes. Takes me right back to my childhood trying to navigate interactions with that autistic old man :') Funnily enough, they do say that German society is like one where everyone is autistic. It all adds up!

    Since you've continued to break the site guidelines egregiously (e.g. "Are you mentally ill?") after we asked you to stop, I've banned this account. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
