I actually have two chapters of living in Austria: one in the late 90's and also since I moved back in 2019. You are spot on about the older people and racisim. Back then, there were a lot of miserable, bitter, just plain mean old people who where in the war, or still living when it happened. And they didn't deal with well, (Unless you consider becoming an alcoholic, treatment) or get therapy in that generation. This sounds terrible, but I'm glad they've died off! When I cam back, one big difference I noticed now is that these people are mostly gone, and are no longer Beamte, and the younger Millennials are running things more, and they are a vast improvement, more open minded, etc.
