Even though the subtitles aren't all that good, I'm linking this video anyway because I've wanted to share it for a while now.
But that wasn't what I wanted to say.
On the 19th, eight Indians were attacked by a large crowd of Germans, 50, if the reports are to be believed. They tried to get shelter in the pizza place one of them owns, but the mob broke through the door. Racist paroles were reportedly shouted, and a large crowd looked on during what resulted in four injured Indians and two injured Germans. (Main facts and some links on Wikipedia here)
( thoughts on Mügeln and other attacks )
Are we better now? Did we learn anything? Was Mügeln the same as Rostock, just on a smaller scale?
Am I guilty of playing down the incident because I claim it was not as racist as the media made it appear?
What would be the best thing to do? Is there even a foolproof way of dealing with this?
I wish I knew.
