German anti-racism body leaves X over ‘rise in hate speech’::A German agency that tackles discrimination and racism says it is quitting the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. It cited a rise in hate speech since owner Elon Musk took over last year.
Doesn’t Germany have the strongest anti-racism laws in the world since the end of Nazi Germany? And also the country accepting the most immigrants during the refugee crisis (and among the top counting per capita I think)?
I visited Germany recently, and I did notice more racism than I’ve seen at home. There were some distant relatives of mine, who I’ve never met before, casually making racist jokes to each other, without attempting to hide it.

Possibly, but not by a large margin compared to other European countries
And also the country accepting the most immigrants during the refugee crisis (and among the top counting per capita I think)?
Not by a long shot, Turkey took in 3.7 million Syrians, Germany 788k, and both countries have ballpark the same population.

Right, I concede. The neighboring countries did accept way more. Germany is still accepted significantly more than the vast majority of countries (though it bears mention that Germany is also quite a massive country, for example Sweden’s number of refugees seem small in comparison but is fairly close in refugees per capita).
