Learning from history is about more than just lip service,” he added, in what appeared to be a reference to the Nazi dictatorship, which made race ideology, ostracism and the deportation of Jews, Roma and Sinti, gay people and many others the cornerstone of its politics. Scholz continued: “Democrats must stand together.”

I hear you, but that's no different than the rest of the western world, though. You'll see the same tendencies in Scandinavia and in southern Europe. That doesn't necessarily mean hate or racism toward immigrants. In fact, many of these countries, including Germany, are actually very progressive and including in general. But it is something to be aware of and stand up against.

Well, I don't remember the exact numbers from last time I checked, but on this side of the Atlantic it's a lot higher.

When a guy with a German or Italian surname in NA says "no immigrants" (which they occasionally do) they tend to get rightfully made fun of. The only guys that aren't from immigrant backgrounds are too busy just surviving to comment. All of that has "moved the needle" a bit.

That’s terrifying as an immigrant though, that 77% of the citizens around me wish I weren’t here. I don’t see how it would take too much in that case for the laws to change surrounding immigration to change drastically.

I’m not trying to sound ungrateful, but I also don’t see my presence as a burden. I don’t know why the majority of Germans disagree.

I'm an immigrant in my country, too. I don't really care too much about what people think about my presence. I just work to make a living, contribute to society, and vote for people who want me here.
