really worried that my village is going to go down a track of racism now.

A bunch of middle eastern dudes bought an old house near the church last year.

last week they were caught stealing from other peoples gardens.

Yesterday one of them straight up threw a rock the size of your average bar of soap at the head of a girl that was just chilling on the stepts of the church (they‘re a popular hangout spot for the youth in our village) during the anniversary celebration of our volunteery firefighters. There were several eye witnesses, the girl is now in the hospital in critical condition.

My village allready has an issue with racism towards eastern folks and I feel like this is only going to make it worse because like 80% of the people here were born during or right after ww2 and don‘t really seem to understand that every culture has some bad apples and just because this guy is an absolute ass that doesn’t mean that everyone from his culture is.

The guy is most likely going to get a charge with attempted manslaughter.

#you have no idea how common the word schlawacke is in my village #It‘s a derogatory term for everyone from east of germany #the term stems from the name of the region slowakia #and is pronounced shla-wa-keh for those who wanna know what it sounds like so you can call out the racism when you hear it #my dad uses it so commonly and it honestly disgusts me #I‘ve literally left the dinnertable because he always gets so angry when talking about easterners #my best friend is russian-german in second generation for fucks sake #my buddy with the fluffy cars has russian roots too #my other homie that I go to medieval markets with all the time has roots in the Sudeten mountains #which are in the czech republic #my friend linh (the one who does all these cool cosplays) is vietnamese #same goes for my little buddy that I always take to annotopia and prideparades #he‘s basicly discriminating against the majority of my friendgroup without even realizin it #and our own ancestors too considering that on the 1400 our family literally came to fermany from poland #my last name is a polish city for fucks sake
