A new OECD study has found Germany is successfully integrating migrants despite obstacles such as migrants often having little education.
If you were to listen to many in Germany, you would think the country’s integration of migrants and asylum seekers was going rather poorly. But a new study by the 38-member Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shows that isn’t the case.
Despite a number of challenges — such as further education and training — Germany is doing a better job than many of its European neighbors when it comes to integrating new arrivals, the study finds.
And yet no German politician will dare claim that achievement because they still think they can appease the far right.
And the far right will still paint the integration as failing because the people voting right are almost exclusively not living in cities and not in contact with immigrants of any kind so all they see are the Horrorstories in the media which reports all migrant-violence but not that every other day there’s a femicide by a German.
It’s so shitty how skewed the whole discussion is because media doesn’t want to be seen as biased by not reporting on some local dispute ending in violence so they Overreport everything instead…
Last weekend there was an attack in Berlin where 20 Neonazis kicked people’s heads when they were already on the ground and they specifically targeted people going to a left wing protest
Somehow that’s only local news but a group of migrants harassing a woman regularly is newsworthy enough to make German-wide headlines…
Ah yes, blaming migrants for women getting harassed or attacked… as if that wouldn’t happen to women regardless.
Yeah I’m living in Berlin and I tried making some kind of very sad statistic of who harassed my girlfriend (it happens pretty much every time we go out in some way or another). The only common denominator is that all of the perpetrators are men. Catcalling, misogyny, actual physical harassment (luckily rare), it keeps happening. No matter the person’s phenotype, no matter if in German, English or another language, no matter the age. It’s ridiculous to blame this all on migrants.
