Oh Dear!

• I'm a German living in the UK and that's why I can probably say what it feels like for someone visiting/moving to another country.
  
  I think you will find rudeness and racism in any other country in the world, not just in Germany. And then, it always depends what you see as being rude, or what you call racism.
  
  There's a saying in Germany " Wie man in den Wald ruft, so schallt es heraus", meaning, "Depending how you shout out into the forest, it will come echoing back at you". If you come into a country and don't even try to intigrate, then the only person to blame for is no one but yourself. I know of Turkish women living in Germany for more than 30 years who hardly picked up the German language. I think that's very sad.
  
  But I know many, many people who had really nice and good experiences in Germany and I'm sure if you keep an open mind, then it's purely up to each one of us to find the right people and make friends. People like that thread starter are just seeing things the way they want to see things, without being objective. If you don't want to be in Germany, leave!!!!! Stay where you are! It's as simple as that.
