آیا آلمانی ها ضد خارجی یا نژادپرست هستند؟ | قسمت اول

In the first part of this two-hour conversation, we will examine the concept of racism and discrimination in Germany. Discrimination can occur on the basis of characteristics such as skin color, nationality, gender, religion, age and sexual identity and can lead to exclusion and harassment. The majority of Germans believe that racism exists in their society. People who are most likely to be discriminated against are those who have different skin or hair color, as well as cultural characteristics, such as wearing a headscarf or having a foreign name. Can you not get a job because you wear a headscarf? Imagine applying for a job and never receiving a response. Are children of foreigners mistreated at school because they don't speak German? Do the police only stop a few people on a bus because of their skin color? Is there discrimination in the labor market? Is it harder for foreigners to find housing in Germany? Imagine that you are looking for a house for your family but you never manage to find such a shelter In Germany there is a general law on equal treatment. It is abbreviated as AGG. This law is valid in Germany for everyone, regardless of their residence status. This law is the basis for protection against discrimination. Gleichbehandlungsgesetz Allgemeines – AGG As a result, discriminatory treatment or behavior or right-wing violence against people is prohibited and a crime in Germany, but discrimination still exists widely in society. Whether when looking for an apartment, at work, when visiting authorities and offices, in schools, doctors' offices, in the behavior of the police and other areas of social life, discrimination can occur. Women and men must be treated equally No one should be discriminated against because of their beliefs No one should be disadvantaged because they are "too young" or "too old". No one should be discriminated against because they are gay, bisexual or lesbian. Have you ever been a victim of racism yourself, that is, discrimination based on skin color, hair color, wearing a veil, or name?
