Racism: Could this (still) happen in the USA? [View All]

[Dirk39]

Hello from Germany,
it's just an easy question, but be honest:

One friend of mine, a refugee from Africa, did tell me that she was entering a bus here in Hamburg about one week ago - one of Germany's largest cities - and she took a place near an old German, maybe about 60 years old or more.
This guy immediately left his place in the bus and did spit at her, slandering about "Blacks" etc.
Some people were looking, but noone did say anything or did attack the guy. (Hey even me could beat down a 60 year old Nazi-idiot...)


I know that racism still exists in Germany, but I really was surprised.
Thank god, you would have a hard time, entering any bus in Hamburg, where not at least a third of the people aren't "white"....

A lot of refugees feel welcome here in Germany and esp. in Hamburg. I know what I'm talking about, 'cause not only some friends of mine have african parents, I know a lot off refugees, too, who just came here to Germany within the last years, some with papers, some without papers.
But this event did really hurt me.
