To be fair to the Germans, there’s been a lot of migrant crime in the country, and they’re justifiably pissed off about it.
Comment on Germany seeks deal with the Taliban to expedite expulsion of Afghan migrants
JustARegularNerd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
I’m out of the loop on this - from the headline, I assumed Germany may have been negotiating with the Taliban to get German’s stuck in Afghanistan back.
But the article contents actually clarify Germany is deporting their own Afghanistan civilians? Are they just racistly saying all Afghani people in Germany aren’t welcome?

To be more fair, though, migrants are less likely to commit crime than native born people worldwide.
Any overrepræsentation of immigrants, racial minorities etc in crime statistics tend to be due to prejudiced and otherwise abusive enforcement and targeting by cops and politicians, and Germany is no exception.

In the meantime, however, people without a German passport are so clearly overrepresented in criminal offense statistics in Germany that the issue can no longer be denied. Although they only make up around 17% of the population, foreign nationals were registered as suspects in almost 42% of crimes reported in Germany. This is according to the police crime statistics for the year 2024, which the Ministry of the Interior published on April 2.

That’s unfortunately not true.

“Police suspect and arrest more brown people than white people because they are racist bigots. More shocking news at 11.”

It’s like you skipped over a whole paragraph.

That does give some insight into why shit like this is happening there then; but justifiably? You’re tarring all migrants with the same brush there.

I said they’re justified to be upset, and I think that’s a fair comment.

Honestly, just continue to space out for about 3 years or so. Nothing good will come, anything good, any achievements of the past years are being actively reversed, and at that point it’s like a bingo card of dystopian Murphy’s law jit points.
Just assume everything bad that you can think of with Germany is happening, is happening.
