Germany is not quite right for most people.

• I'm an Asian male. Ive been in west Germany for 2 years.I think for white people here,its not all bad. It's just a little boring.The people are in general pretty boring and their sense of humor is really weird.The german music and movies do suck.Even my german classmates dont like their own music.Like 90 percent of the songs on radio are american songs.And almost all the movies in cinemas are from Hollywood.Theres even no german movies winning a single award in Berlin's movie festival this year. And for colored people,its just worse. I've been verbally insulted on the street and in the Strassenbahn by strangers for lots of times.And I know in eastern Germany the insults on colored people sometimes can be physical.Like last year 2 Indian American students and their professor from US got beaten up on a bus in Dresden.While no one tried to stop that,the 2 beaters got away. We all know theres also lots of racists in other countries.But the proportion of the bad apples in Germany might be bigger than other western countries.I think the proportion is the key when we talk about this issue. To be fair,i did meet some friendly open-minded people.But compared to the majority which in general really dont quite like foreigners,those good normal people are just too few.While I try to get out of Germany as soon as possible,I hope the younger generation could be way different from their parents and grandparents.And quite frankly,sometimes I do see the changes happening among them.
