With the recent surprise win for the left in the French elections, some may be tempted to think fascism is on the back foot. Unfortunately, that's not the ca...
I actually saw the harassment with my own eyes in that bar I was talking about. It was a huge shock because that bar was only ever visited by the most open minded people you could meet.

But ignoring these problems and just not doing anything about it is a good recipe for setting things up to get worse. All I want is that people get integrated a bit better. I’d never send them back to the hell holes they came from. They fled wars for a reason.
I’m very happy for you that you have so much positive to say about what you have encountered! I also know many friends who’ve never had trouble with immigrants and refugees. But when you let in a huge amount of people, there’s bound to be a gigantic portion of asshats among them. I’d say a comparable percentage to the German shitheads.
Edit: yeah, we had our car’s windows broken and radio stolen too. My Dutch teacher actually said terrible things about the Germans right in front of me and he very well knew that my family comes from Germany. But my classmates had my back, reported him to to the principal and he was fired on the spot. The classmates in question were from Ghana, Surinam, the UK, China and the Netherlands. It felt great being surrounded by people from all over the world as if it were the most normal thing ever. And it was normal. Largely also because they were integrated very well (us Germans too btw).
