Anonymous "Asians in US are also way smarter than germans of all backgrounds"
Have you considered that a study of 15-year-olds may not be representative of the general population?
Sadly, even white germans are dumber than white americans lol
You didn't stay in germany long enough. All the Asian Germans who I met online and in real life who visited US have mentioned that the social climate in US is much better for asians.
I had zero problems in Germany during my whole stay there. Back in Los Angeles I am greeted as if I invented Covid myself and got racial slurs yelled at me in the streets.
Besides that: Housing prices here for Cologne are very very off. For a city center apartment expect 7000 EUR / sqm or up.
I don't know why these prices are so low here.
