    Clarifications from Germans

    发表  Ron Saxena 在 德国论坛 

    When accused of racism / unfriendliness, the Most common explanation, I have encountered is "Americans are also racist". As if only Americans (because its more powerful country , bigger economy) have a right to question Germans. And they are not accountable to rest of the "inferior" World. Present day Germans (and German Govt, by and large) have taken measures, so that US, UK, UN cannot "technically" touch them. To hell with opinion of rest of the World. Hence the overall attempt to curb racism is neither genuine nor heartfelt. And Germany is the most "white normative" country among all the big Western economy.

    As far as regular conversation is concerned, IMHO, Germans have very minimal patience and constantly judge others under microscope. One can never know, when an offence will be taken. So, you feel constantly sitting on a volcano. That creates an atmosphere of extreme assertiveness by locals. You as an outsider can never accuse anyone, because "Its Germany. Things are like this". All in all: in every situation, a German is correct and you need to "adapt and adopt". And at the outset, there is a "Take it or leave it" attitude.

    And I do not even want to talk about "banal" stuffs like : Poorest delivery in Restaurant, Last service in bakery offering you the worst and smallest piece of bagel, Pushy shop attendants, refusal from landlords etc.
