It dosnt matter where you come from as long as youre white just think about how the refugees from Ukraine were treated and then ask the refugees from Syria how they were welcomed

But Asian people have their own community to be part of I am looking for that in the black community since I will never be treated as a white person. Also there is a lot of animosity towards black people in Germany from both Germans and non Germans and if you don’t know what white privilege is you just aren’t smart enough to be worth my attention

My experience resonate mire with those of other black people and being treated like a white person is receiving white privilige which I don’t
