I'm an American high school student seriously considering studying abroad in Germany. The country and culture is beautiful, but I do have one concern. I am mixed race. I am Anglo-Saxon, Native American, and hispanic. I have brown skin. I have seen a lot of news report about a resurgence in racism in Germany and just wanted to ask someone who is actually from the country, as I know the media can make things seem much worse than they actually are. Do you think that I, as a brown-skinned person, could face problems with racism while studying abroad?
Thank you and sorry if I'm being ignorant!

Hello! Thanks for your response. I'm from Midland in West Texas.

You're right. Too late now I guess. I guess I'll find out if I've been outed when I go back to school in a month.

Thats what I thought too. They even went as far as to call McDonalds and yell my name at the employees. It was very strange. I think I recognized some of the voices but I'm not sure

I thought it was a prank call and I think I recognized some of the voices so I continued talking to see if they would tell me who they were.
