Your police has no issue harassing regular citizens of the wrong accent nor do they mind mass surveiling people, even those from allied countries, for no reason other than ethnicity, and all with the blessing of the law and your society. Germany needs to be exposed for what it is, and sure enough, it will happen soon. And is not what western democracy would be.

Is what? Want me to list the number of people that I personally know have been abused, harrased, and monitored, just because they were the wrong kind of european? Ranging from PhD students, to software engineers, doctors, drivers, nurses, etc?

Germany is what then? You want Germany to be exposed, go ahead.

Because I never said racism doesn't exist here, because it does. As do other bad things. Your claim went a lot further than that so.

That's not racism, it goes well beyond that, nearing the territory of hostility.
