Well, it's not pretty. Really not.
It's sad, really sad.
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what's going on in peoples' heads.
Can't say much about that, sorry.
We all have certain images in our minds, certain perceptions.
Only a very few can rid themselves of that.
What I can say about racism is...
...that it takes place in different forms.
Gazes! Words are not necessary.
Sometimes gazes are enough.
I was born in Berlin-Neukölln and I realize...
...people don't necessarily want me here.
Ok, they don't say it to my face...
...but anyway you can see it.
I grew up in Bavaria as a child with a migration background...
...and it's different there, because...
...racism is not only enacted openly, but also in more subtle ways.
That are hard to recognize.
To know why people hate you. Or, even worse: NOT to know why people hate you.
And then everything culminates in these murders.
That's really dangerous and pretty extreme.
But this wasn't just some random bunch of nutters.
These murders were clearly racist.
And racism exists throughout everyday life!
Exclusion is widely supported...
...by all those who don't notice it, who don't react, who don't speak up.
Actually one could have done something earlier.
Suddently everybody is outraged and everybody talks a lot.
When there are dead people in the streets, then it's obviously too late.
