"The indifference towards everyday racism experienced by German-Turks and German-Arabs is shocking enough. The silence from the general public about the the NSU murders was deafening. [You] have no idea how much (white) Germans like to complain."https://mediadiversified.org/2018/10/03/lebensluge-the-myth-that-german-racism-began-and-ended-with-the-holocaust/ …
