Learning from history is about more than just lip service,” he added, in what appeared to be a reference to the Nazi dictatorship, which made race ideology, ostracism and the deportation of Jews, Roma and Sinti, gay people and many others the cornerstone of its politics. Scholz continued: “Democrats must stand together.”

    I love being an immigrant in Germany. I’m white and not Ukrainian though, so my experience is mostly Germans telling me that this would never apply to me, then spending on average two hours a month to stay legal here, even though I’m fluent in German, pursuing a master’s degree in German language education, and married to a German. It’s honestly not a lot of time, but it’s constant. Then, if I ever fuck up, I get deported.

      Hell I’m a naturalised German citizen. I was born in another country and moved here as a teen. I’m white (not that it should even matter). I studied here. I work here. I speak German fluently with a slight accent. And now they’re talking about deporting naturalised citizens if they don’t fit whatever definition of being german they have. I’m also queer. So I guess I wouldn’t really fit their definition of the traditional German male so I’d better start packing my bags to move to North Africa where they planned a camp for us.

        If you’re deeply afraid of the AfD ever rising to power I’d say you fit right in as a proper German.
