[QUOTE=May90;41526863]Well when the guy is iranian and not a white guy...Police said the shooter was an 18-year-old German-Iranian who lived in the country for over two years and whose motives “are still unclear.”
I actually never stated what his motives are. I just said diversity failed. Which it did
And sadly exactly what I was talking about.
If you treat people like foreigners you shouldn't be surprised if they behave like foreigners. I do believe Ji-tae is a clever troll above all else, but a great example how you can make others feel like they will never belong, no matter how hard they try.
Born in Germany? Doesn't matter. You speak the language? Doesn't matter. What, you mean you never visited Iran/Turkey/XY? You don't even understand the language? Whatever, you still will never belong to us (whatever "us" means - don't ask me)
I am chinese and the netherlands and germany were exceptionally friendly to me and welcomed me. I integrated very well because I wanted to. Germany didn't fail me. A host cannot fail. I owe them. They don't owe me anything.
I tried my best and feel very welcome in germany.
People are friendly here if you don't push your religious beliefs on them. My cultural background was different, but I would never ever dare to push my culture into germany. I went to germany and I accepted that I have to change. Not germany.
Actually Europe has been very tolerant.
So tolerant they let foreigners get away with horrible crimes to not be racist

Saying someone born in Germany automatically identifies as a German is clearly wrong with all these second/third generation migrants butchering their own people... unless they dont see them as their people, then it makes sense

Japan has very limited immigration. Same with South korea.
Japan is prosperous and the safest country in the world
Don't know about Korea, but Japan is actually very smart about immigration. It attracts almost exclusively high quality specialists and researchers, providing them with luxurious quality of life, plus occasional asylum seekers from China or North Korea. Without immigration, Japan's economy would plummet: in fact, the reason it got out of third world and into one of the most prosperous countries in the world is that it took in a lot of Western specialists and learned from them.
Right now, there is a lot of talk on increasing immigration, because Japan is losing its touch as it is, not having as much interaction with the rest of the world as it needs.
