do people in egypt still have chariot races

I literally arrived here in October 2000, just in time to read about Friedrich Merz rejecting multiculturalism in favour of “ Leitkultur” – the idea that German culture should “lead” immigrants, the idea that German culture is morally and intellectually superior. The problem for white Germans is: I have a good memory. It amazes me that white people get shocked by this statement, but grow up, seriously, of course it is. It means that a lot of Germans, probably the majority, are casually racist.' I hate Germany like a German hates Germany now.Īnd I can't help but feel like it's a sign of how fascism is spreading across our globe like an invisible fart-like virus, that right now, right here, after Brexit, after the NSU murders, after the Hanau deaths, which I don't even mention, right here, on my balcony, making small talk, when I hate Germany both the least I ever have and the least you possibly can – my friend Nina accuses me of hating Germany “so much”. I hate Germany, I think, in a normal, sad, subdued, healthy kind of a way. I don't hate Germany in an angry way anymore.

Of course I hate Germany a bit – is hate even the right word? I'm not even sure if hate is the right word for the way I feel. Actually – that was one of the things I used to quite like about you. You're totally arrogant and you always think you know best. “What are you like,” I say, smiling affectionately. And you know you'll get away with it too! Because we Germans have such low self-esteem!” “I hate Germany a completely normal amount now.” “No, I don't,” I say, slightly surprised. “You just hate Germany so much Jacinta!” She says. “But I don't understand why all the kids aren't just automatically insured for free, like over the Gesundheitsamt? Because it's a bit annoying for divorced or separated parents swapping the cards back and forth, you know.” “The German healthcare system is much better than the NHS, obviously,” I say to my German friend Nina. So we're just making mummy small talk about doctors and stuff.

I deliberately avoid the topic of the Hanau murders because I have fallen out with Nina over the question of is Germany a racist country before. I meet up with my white German friend Nina two days after the Hanau attacks. Jacinta Nandi rants about casual racism in Germany.
