Too many immigrants are spreading their cancer cult. Cultural enrichment they say, but it's all just nonsense. Increased violence and less safety due to these immigrants. Many people claiming Leipzig is unsafe, blame the immigrants showing no respect to the local communities whatsoever. So many parts now look like Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, which is sad, as Leipzig is actually very beautiful. No outdoor public pool is safe anymore. The people claiming the native folks to be racits: nah, pure pattern recognition of the usual suspects causing trouble everywhere they go, just for them to play their victim card once being arrested.

Don't believe the racists on here. The biggest problem are the addicts in the poorer area's and there are some Nazis around who are mostly just loud an obnoxious, never had any problem with immigrants.

Lots of racists in Leipzig. If you don't look German, be careful for physical attacks.

There are parts of Leipzig that look like Afghanistan. The Police have to show up every day. Politicians say it's cultural enrichment but you'll never find their kids in public schools or their families live in those neighborhoods. It's not bad enough that Germany after the WW2 invited millions of Turks the politicians falsely thought they were going to leave the country - they didn't - uneducated people coming from Eastern Europe, the Middle Easterners and East Africans are also a part of the dispossession of the German population and they are big contributors to the increased crime rates. No problems with East Asians though, unlike other races, getting mugged by a Chinese is very unlikely. Anonymous wrote - "Harassment because of colorful skin...". PURE LIE. The reality is, it happens the other way around instead... It happens regularly to my family (white skin, blue eyes, typical properties that are unwanted in certain neighborhoods and when these people from completely different societies move in, Germans move out, taking their children out of public schools, moving away their businesses... I don't know why...). And when a 100 year old German Bakery moves out together with their owners, what you'll get a Kebab shop (right next to 30 other Kebab shops in that particular neighborhood). This is the reality folks, no matter how the mainstream media tries to convince you about the "benefits" of this process or reminds you 20 times a day how racist the Germans are. No one likes to be dispossessed in ANY country, it is just the uniqueness of the West that people are not allowed to talk about the truth.
