Very brief mention of the reddit getting closed for racism. Yikes.

The roots of the racism were germinated in the editorial boardrooms of the PostMedia monopoly!

Daily racism in public offices a d in the companies along with very high taxation just unbearable!!! I trying to find another job outside of Germany. So sick and tired of this country . Friend of mine with 2 German diplomas born and raised in Germany she left Germany a month ago returned to Greece. She have had enough\nGermany does not want skilled workers they just want CHEAP skilled workers. Is like wanting to buy a Mercedes for the cost of a Fiat

Racism is a word coined and used to allow somebody to keep going with his dirty projects.

The BIGGER message is the denial of cash. These two are probably friends IRL/behind the camera. But since racism is the ONLY thing the sheeple will allow, the message is hidden in this skit. Brilliant, these two.

racism is just so deeply ingrained in the german mind that at every little interaction with germans, no matter how liberal they are, you are reminded that you are an outsider and will be treated accordingly. Rule of the game is work, pay taxes, and don't ever dare to mix any non-german element to their culture. Anywhere on earth if some foreign person tries to speak the local language, the locals feel pleased if not honored, but here, no, germans don't want you to blemish their beautiful language by trying to speak it and they switch to english when they speak with you, as if the world should thank them because they know english.

I really don't understand how do they expect us to gain C1-C2 level of proficiency within a very limited amount of time. They wish to attract workers, but aren't even considerate if you are making efforts in learning the language. It's really a lost cause. It's highly taxing on a person to upskill, study, try to survive and be fluent in a foreign language at the same time. There is racism, especially if you are a person of colour, and you will always be looked down upon to the point of being shunned away, refusing to allow you to get accustomed to the society. Try hard to make it in your own country or search for better prospects.

If you know what’s good for you, avoid Germany by all means. It isn’t what the media makes it seem. Major housing crisis, micro/subtle racism, dealing with the bureaucracy and worst of all “Steuer, teuer… Germany isn’t for the weak!

Racism. Every corner in Germany.

No i would not move to America medical plans& poor heath care too any guns & too much religion & racism! Americans education system is not far behind & below Canada’s education system & standards! The way your treated kinder multicultural welcoming new comers instead of the America put people in cages separating children from their parents! Way too many guns mass shootings happening on a regular basis! Visit but not live

Ask your Government to stop the appeasement. Implement immigration policies similar to those in Australia, prioritizing skilled immigrants and creating an environment that supports English language proficiency. Focus on maintaining clear, fair criteria for entry, without fear of racism.

Sean Fraser: Canada needs more people\n\nMe: No we don't... we already have enough and we don't need anymore people! we are full at this point! and Canada crime rate.\nIs increasing same with the homeless rate too and even the racism\nIs even increasing too and I believe the birthrate in Canada.\nIs probably decreasing now seeing how bad the economy\nIn Canada is..

Because of racism ????

I love all the idiots saying America is racist EVERYWHERE has racism go ask the sunnies how great they get along with their Muslim brothers you can’t put the whole world perspective into black VS white it doesn’t work like that and this is why god is good and humans suck lol

Worked with Germans in London and had experienced passive racism. I would suggest people to try in USA, UK, Australia which are far better than Germany in terms of safety and security.

Racism, thats why

This is called racism 'take bsck Canada.

The racism against Germans that is so openly expressed in the comments here is unbearable. Yes, there are some bad people in Germany (basically in any country on this planet, unfortunately) who are themselves racist or discriminatory. But that is by no means the majority of Germans. I have lived here for decades and have met the most warm-hearted people. From the comments I rather gather that many who come to Germany simply extremely overestimate the demands they can (and may) make of Germany (or pretty much any other immigration-friendly country). If you come to Germany it is obvious that you have to learn German (or the local language). That is the case everywhere, including France, Italy and Korea - you name it. And if you can't do that straight away that's okay too, most Germans speak English and are very forgiving when it comes to language learners. Nobody shouts at you for not knowing German. Furthermore, Germans are very direct and don't care much about artificial and feigned friendliness. What you see is what you get. And I think that's honest and quite refreshing. \n\nThe thing is, YOU have to approach Germans and can't just expect them to roll out the red carpet for you just because you think they are in need of your workforce. The simple truth is: the standard of living in Germany is very high. The culture is diverse, and anyone who doesn't recognize this should broaden their horizons. Cities like Munich, Berlin, Stuttgart and Hamburg are beautiful, extremely multicultural and anyone who describes them as 'dull' will probably not feel at home in any city on this planet. The people are also nicer than many non-germans claim - that's obvious, because if that weren't the case, Germany wouldn't be the most popular country to immigrate within Europe amongst immigrants. Of course there are problems on the German side too. Bureaucracy, language barriers and discrimination. But they definitely don't deserve the unreasonable racism they face here in the comments. You can't criticize Germans for their alleged discriminatory behavior by unreasonably attacking and generalizing Germans themselves. Anyone who approaches Germans with prejudice and racism should not be surprised if they do not receive a friendly welcome there...

Indians creating quick access to permanent resident schemes in Canada is an issue.\n\nStill, so much of the population earns under $50k where they cost the govt more than they contribute. There isn’t enough housing for all Canadians excluding all temporary students. \n\nThe problem is that to be “nice” and hand out PR is political suicide for the liberals because all Canada felt this impact. Every year the housing going up 10-25% as there are so few rentals. \n\nEven Canadians who never voted right wing in their lives will vote conservatives next election and not out of racism, but self survival (food, rent, employment, community health)

Racism in Germany is a huge hidden problem.

Both so called skilled or unskilled workers have no place in Germany cuz of racism of German corrupt political establishment??

Thats racism and defund the police ?

Racism and language barrier.

Even Europeans also started hating Indian's look at Portugal too everyday indian is being stabbed for racism

They try and spin a math problem to be racist. Too many people coming here is math not racism or whatever tag slogan they can put on it.

Germany is getting worse and worse, let alone the racism

Every where you go US, Canada , Europe all talented , highly skilled are given low pay , slavery job and deal with discrimination, racism, crimes, corruption in all these countries.

Looong looong ago only creamy and most intelligent youth were the ones we who could get opportunity to live or work abroad but in past 5 years it’s all dirt drain no brain drain. These are those people who can’t even pass a college in India itself and can’t ever get a job in India itself , the minute you say a word they slap the word Racism and Hate on ur face.

Australia will go down with it's rudeness and racism.

What about racism in Germany?

Germany is a great country, but the amount of aggression and racism exists there is insane.

With the tone of your complaints, putins rusdia will be the right fit for you: no human rights, no taxes for the rich, open and violent racism. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Go work abroad and be ready for racism..i would rather work hard in my home country and go abroad as a tourist..

Everyone needs to be mindful when they leave their country to go inhabit another. Be mindful of their customs and leave your racism and hatred in your old country. People are moving to countries on the continent of Africa and Asian countries and they are bringing their old mindset with them. There is no room for that ignorance. Stop trying to change their culture or stop them from doing what they have done for centuries because you don't like it. There are alot of videos popping up complaining about Americans, British and Canadians treating locals poorly. There are videos of the Americans, British and Canadians bragging about how they take advantage of these people. Don't be like that please.

one of the biggest city in Finland is growing by population, but not on tax incomes. 95% of afghanistan, iraq's and somalians are not working and are not planing to work. And why would they, our goverment gives them everything they need and more.... Is this racism? is this how you build your country?

Nobody talked about racism ?

I'll never rent to those kinds to ppl. Discrimination, racism.. whatever you canadians call it.... it's a cultural thing.

FYI THERE ARE 1.4 BILLION INDIANS IN India. India has a land size of 1/3 the size of Canada. However Canada still can't handle 40 million people compared to 1.4 billion Indians. So this world is making people suffer just because India always had more number of people. India & Africa is one of the oldest countries in this world. Moreover there are a lot of Africans in Canada. Why don't we see news of many africans are in Canada. Or there are many asians in Canada who are not from India. Cause this is just racism towards India. First they take our money through their racist immigration programs. Indians work harder than any of the races in Canada. Then your butchering our people because it's to easy to get away by being racist to a brown just because we are so many.

Don't go. Let alone the low chances of finding a place and high taxes, the bureaucracy in the governmental departments will kill you slowly AND yes there is a lot of racism. The German society especially in eastern Germany isn't yet accepting of foreigners.

I would do it for now. Im a born canadian of indian immigrant parents. Ive always followed the rules of canada my homeland, but have always felt the undertones of subtle racism. Opportunities were not that availible, even prior to mass immigration in the past 5 years, however, now, the anti- indian sentiment is at an all time high. \n\nIve paid my taxes. I worked here all my life. I aint leaving.

I knew perfect German and didn't feel welcomed, so it's not the language, it's racism

The racism scared me… let me roll it here in the ??

More skilled workers, but no new houses, Jam packed public services like hospitals, transport services and government services. Then you've the locals that are ignored. No matter how hard you want to scream racism, if you ignore the locals, that's a recipe for disaster

To be fair unlike America, canada does ACTUALLY have an immigration problem. Immigrants in canada remind the Canadian citizens every day why they are falling into poverty and have no more future. This is why you see a rise of racism against immigrants and stingy attitudes with money like this guy has. \n\nTrust me. Americans, you have NO idea what an actual immigration crisis looks like. You americans are lucky.

Indo Canadian here. Anti Immigration <> Racism. It is about selecting need based immigrants and not project Management diplomas. We need nursing, Doctors etc and not Uber drivers. For those who are in healthcare qualified and driving ubers need a path to certification. The Other aspect is scapegoating as immigrants are the easy targets. While real issue is the policymakers who enabled this mess. Essentially promoting falsehood, setting false expectations and getting wrong allocation of immigrants. This is also fueling fodder to far right which are using this for scapegoating the victims over policy makers.

Racism is alive and well in Canada. All those who aren't the descendants of immigrants in Canada speak up. The rest should stop the racial attacks and recognize their families were immigrants. Most are fleeing unstable living conditions.

Wow this is just disgusting. Racism at its finest

Minorities are almost the majority so the racism is actually against Canadians not newly arrived people.

I lived in Germany for 10 years.\n\nI think it's the best country to live in socially (education, health care, jobs). The bureaucracy you can handle it.\n\nI finished my Master's degree before the COVID19 started and it was SOOO difficult to get a job since after that they wanted only native German speakers (before with English was OK) - and I do speak really good German.\n\nBut then my friends started to have problem with racism and some people were not nice - and then all my friends left. I felt so alone.\n\nFurthermore, I met people who had a prosperous professional life but they were living alone in nice, big apartments. And old people were living all lone - I didn't want that and I took my decision to leave.\n\nBerlin and other German cities are amazing but it's only for a while. \n\nGermany is not for everybody - you need to know where are you going.

I agree with you on the demise of Canada, too much crime and no accountability from the justice system. Trans, DEI and affirmative action policies of both the government and some major corporations are legalizing racism and discrimination. People should be treated all equal but that is not the case anymore. Toronto a few years back dropped the standards for Police and Firefighters. If your house is on fire do you want a rescuer who is 70% competent of one that is 100% competent. Canada trump all human rights for a few human rights.
