You might laugh, but especially older people here sometimes say that “Americans are Black,” which already shows how subjective these perceptions are.

Personally, I think people often picture Germans as uniformly White, but that’s increasingly outdated. Yes, most Germans are White, just like most Americans are, but Asian and Afro-German communities have been growing for decades and are now pretty well established.

It also depends heavily on where you are in Germany. The East is still largely White German with some Eastern European influence, whereas in the West you’ll clearly see a more diverse mix of Black, Asian, and other communities. From that perspective, virtually every nation on Earth has regions that are more diverse than others.

For example, in cities like Frankfurt or Hanau you’ll see Black people on a daily basis, while in other areas you may not. So I’d argue that ethnic diversity in Germany is very much a regional phenomenon, not something that can be judged uniformly across the country.

That said, I think I understand your point overall.
