More than half of black people living in Germany have experienced racism, with nearly 20% saying they have been subjected to repeated threats or harassment, a first-time survey of more than 21,000 people across the country has revealed. The findings, published this week by the German Centre for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM), also showed that about 13% of Muslims and 12% of Asians experienced threats or harassment at least several times a year. \u201cThis most often affects population groups that are racially marked and whose affiliation to Germany is repeatedly the subject of public debate: Black, Asian and Muslim people,\u201d Naika Foroutan, the centre\u2019s director, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The incidents spanned the public sphere, taking place anywhere from public transport to sports clubs and banks, said Cihan Sinano\u011flu, who heads the office that carried out the survey, known as the National Discrimination and Racism Monitor. Sinano\u011flu said the findings challenged a deep-rooted \u201cself-perception\u201d in German society that \u201cracism was something that ended in 1945\u201d or \u201csomething on the extremes, used as a synonym for rightwing extremism, or something that happens in the US, UK or France but not in Germany\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>These arguments are thought have been supported by the historical reluctance of Germany to collect demographic data on ethnicity. In 2020, after the killing of nine people in an apparently racially motivated shooting attack in the German town of Hanau and amid the global debate on systemic racial discrimination set off by the killing of George Floyd in the US, the German government suggested a national monitor to track discrimination and racism as part of its dozens of recommendations to combat racism.<\/p>\n<p>Even for those who were aware that racism exists in Germany, the survey\u2019s findings were surprising, said Sinano\u011flu. \u201cIt\u2019s not just the numbers, it\u2019s the reality that black communities are facing. It\u2019s shocking.\u201d Overall, it found 54% of black people in Germany had experienced racism at least once. Sinano\u011flu pointed to the finding that 41% of black men and 39% of Muslim men reported being discriminated against by police. \u201cThese are major institutions that are built to protect people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The findings echo a recently published EU survey that found racism to be \u201cpervasive and relentless\u201d and on the rise across Europe, with nearly half of black people in member states surveyed reporting incidents that ranged from the verbal abuse of their children to being blocked by landlords from renting homes. In Germany, the plan is to carry out the survey annually, each time including questions on different sectors such as housing and labour.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, the survey homed in on the respondents\u2019 experience of the healthcare system. More than a third of black and Muslim women, as well as 29% of Asian women surveyed, said they had been treated unfairly on occasion or had felt their health concerns had not been taken seriously. For white women, the figure was 26%. \u201cWhich tells us that there is a dynamic of racism and sexism,\u201d said Sinano\u011flu.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/nov\/08\/more-than-half-of-black-people-surveyed-in-germany-report-racism\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/nov\/08\/more-than-half-of-black-people-surveyed-in-germany-report-racism\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/more-than-half-of-black-people-surveyed-in-germany-report-racism\/\">More than half of black people surveyed in Germany report racism<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[672,555,1038,1336,564,362,12189],"class_list":["post-118630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-black","tag-csr-news-en","tag-germany","tag-people","tag-racism","tag-report","tag-surey"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118630\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
