lol what is this? maybe you should have been here to see that this is a joke...i love people like you reading something on the internet but i bet you have never been here.

obama chicken fingers? you know it was just like "obama doll, pillow with obama picture and so on..."? it was for people who LIKE obama and had nothing to do because he was a black hahaha. fried chicken isn't associated with afro-americans in germany...i think it's more racism that you say we are racist because we use a product with the name "obama" and say to us that's racism just because fried chicken was associated with afro-americans in usa. usa isn't every other culture, it's associated with afro-amercans in usa? that's ok but why is this our problem? if obama would have been white, we woud have had the same fries, but surely this wouldn't be racism because he would have been white then...

blackface campaign? hahaha do you know who the campaign came from? damn if your media is talking crap to you sry but its not our problem. please inform about it better and about "martin sonneborn" an who this guy is. maybe satire isn't so harsh in usa but here everything is allowed and the same guy said a lot of crazy things about the berlin wall and so on. he writes (or wrote) for the biggest german satire magazin. just few examples:

"hope in germany, can he stop mr. schäuble (a german politician)"

or

merkel "my first banana" because she came from the GDR and they couldn't get for example bananas for decades^^ (and yeah it isn't a banana haha)

 

and to the muslim debate, yes it's big here and in most other european countries but you know what? if usa would be where germany or the other european countries are, you would have the same debates. you live in america no clue how you could think that you could have the same "problems" between christians and muslims coming from turkey and other countries. you live between mexico and canada, between usa and the next muslim country is a little bit of water...there are huge differences between the "christian" and muslim cultures and in a country like germany there a huge problems for both sites to handle it and i personally think none of both sites is better...

and to the debate about the "jews" have to much power, it's not about the jews, it's about israel which many see as "jews". and yes, many think they have too much power. not the usa but almost every other country on this planet thinks that because of palestine for example. if i would make a poll "has china too much power", maybe 17% of us-americans would say "yes"? (and i think in germans as well). why would this be something different?

then you say

"Outside which... compare government representation of minorities in Germany compaired to the US"

ok please tell me since when do those immigrants live in germany? most are here in only the second or maybe third generation. first generation can barely speak german. how many mexican immigrants from the last 30 years do you have in your government?

you have a lot of afro-americans in your government? since how many generation do they live in usa?

a big party in germany is the cdu, which means "christian democratic union". i really don't wonder that many immigrants in germany (which many are muslims) don't want to be a politician in this party...

but you are right, there could be more immigrants i german parties, i think it could be better in usa with mexicans as well. but since i live in a city with 25% foreigners and many children of immigrants who are now germans (so i would say every second is a foreigner or a child from a foreigner) i can say you that many don't even care about politics. if they don't even care, no wonder they won't start a political career.

one of the reasons is that most who came here were very poor in their country. it's a difference in europe to usa. you only pick the well educated to come to usa, here in germany most who came here from other countries came to germany because they were very poor and bad educated in their country. it's not their fault, i would go to germany as well if i would have a bad life in another country. and those don't care as much about politics as well educated do. it's the same with germans, well educated have more interests in politics than germans with low education..

i mean, as example because of the muslim problem you talked about, how many do you have in usa with 3xx million population? and how many of them were very poor people without any education or only very bad education? most of the time only the well educated have the chance to come to usa right?

so you wonder that in usa, were you only pick the well educated to live in your country, that those immigrants are more interested in politics and they will or can start a political career easier?

if most of usa's legal immigrants would be very bad educated (which isn't their fault) and if you would have the same social system we have here (you don't have to work to get enough money from the government to live here and half of them (or so) don't work), what do you think how many us-americans would say "yes it would be good if they would leave our country now when they don't work but get enough every year to live here which the others have to pay for"

you simply have only those problems with illegal immigrants and even then, they don't get a paid life from usa if they don't want to work.

you would have exactly the same survey results in usa with the same situation we have here.

and i personally think if you would ask a german the same questions not about immigrants, if you would ask "would it be good to send germans who don't even try to find a work but getting a paid life from the state out of germany", i bet the same amount of people would say "yes" then lol. so are they racists against themselve or what? sure it wouldn't be possible but if it would be possible...and sadly this is what people think when they get a question about those immigrants. if we would only have specialist here as immigrants like you have in usa the survey's would be totally different.

and please, never try to show how racist we are anymore because of a satirist only making satire... because then i will speak about hundreds of afro-amerikan churches burned down in usa and how normal this is in usa (which would be stupid to think and say). this sounds worse than some chiclen fries and a satirical blackface campaign.
we have some turkish comedians in germany making fun of germans and nobody would think it's what they really think. maybe you will find a news about them on an american site as well how racist they are because they hate against germans in germany haha

and damn luxembourg? hell that was a joke can't believe you looked about the population...i said it exactly because of that but since you had to search it even shows more that you have no clue about europe and only read on some sites an studies comparing different situations like they would be comparable which makes absolutely no sense.

btw just as an example, that survey says "33% of blacks say all or many blacks dislike whites and 25% of whites say all or many whites dislike blacks in usa"

http://articles.cnn.com/2006-12-12/us/racism.poll_1_whites-blacks-racism/2?_s=PM:US

and this is comparing usa with germany, spain and canada:

http://www.fpyn.ca/sites/default/files/Survey%20on%20Racism%20&%20Prejudice%20in%20Canada,%20USA,%20Germany%20&%20Spain%20%28%20ACS%20&%20CRRF%20-%20January%202011%20%29.pdf

you can find surveyy like this or like you found about every country on ths planet if there are enough surveys about that country. and you can find enough saying "no problmes there" as well...

and to bring this discussion to an end i would say i don't believe that racism is much different between europe or usa, the only differences are the different situations people have to handle it by themselve. it's pretty simple that you don't even know why germans say this about muslims for example when you don't live here and i can't say which problems you maybe have with mexicans when i don't live in usa (i just think it's crazy how many have to die every year at the border). and all those surveys are for the ass because they can't compare the countries with each other because all have different "problems". it does not even make sense to compare germany with netherlands or so and we are neighbours.
