Racism towards Black people is growing in Europe, with Germany, Austria and Finland showing the highest rates of discrimination and harassment, a survey of first- and second-generation Black immigrants in 13 EU countries published on Wednesday found.

The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), which commissioned the survey and analyzed its findings in a report, said that in the space of six years since the previous study the proportion of respondents who had felt racially discriminated against in the past 12 months had risen by 10 percentage points to 34%.

In Austria and Germany the proportion was 64% – almost twice the previous level of 33% in Germany and a significant increase from the 42% recorded in Austria six years earlier. The next worst was Finland with 54%.

“It is shocking to see no improvement since our last survey,” FRA Director Michael O’Flaherty said. “Instead, people of African descent face ever more discrimination just because of the colour of their skin.”

The proportion of respondents who reported feeling racially discriminated against over the past five years rather than 12 months rose to 45% across the 13 countries surveyed, an increase of six points from the previous study. The top three were the same, with Germany’s rate the highest at 76%.

The poll carried out by Ipsos for the FRA was a sweeping survey of 16,124 immigrants and descendants of immigrants across 15 countries from which several FRA reports will be produced – on other ethnic minorities and Muslims. It was conducted between October 2021 and September 2022.

This report, entitled “Being Black in the EU,” is the first produced from that wider survey. It focuses on 6,752 people born in sub-Saharan Africa or with at least one parent born there living in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

The proportion of respondents who said they had suffered racist harassment in the past five years was unchanged from six years earlier at 30%. The highest national rate was 54% in Germany, followed by Finland and Austria.

Portugal and Sweden were the countries with the lowest rates of harassment and, along with Poland, they had the lowest racial discrimination rates, according to respondents.

The FRA report included a series of recommendations for EU member states such as properly enforcing anti-discrimination legislation and considering a motivation based on racial bias as an aggravating circumstance when setting penalties for crimes.

I'd hazard a guess that the putrid behaviour of your avatar over the past few years may have got rid of any goodwill some people might have had in the bank.

I wonder why the shift when they were welcoming imagination and encouraging it in the EU.

“Had felt discriminated against”.

Seems very scientific.

 

[gspieler]

Is this at all surprising? Racism/xenophobia increases every time there is a sudden, and significant, increase in migrants, whose culture/looks are objectively different than the host culture.

When you factor in the reports of increases in prevalence of violent/sexual crime, that have come along with the recent wave of mass migration, it's a slam dunk that many people in that country will take a more unfavorable view, of people who are not like themselves.

Yeah, well that's life.

Maybe also some of their morals and respect for the people already there have something to do with it.

Gaslighting

Yes, the bad apples and/or people who refuse to assimilate to basic Western values, tend to stand out.

It's happiest country. Germany still no.1.

And to no suprise, I'm a white German and even I feel discrimination leaving major cities just for wearing nice cloths with a flamboyant touch.

The Bureau of Land Management?

That's a shame I might go to EU next year. Although none of the countries named here.

happiest country in the world but you got time to play victim

make it make sense

Germans are racist? What? Most nations have some interest in keeping their nation representative of said nation. Sadly, those days are over. There will be no "feel" or national identity as immigration is massive and assimilation is no longer a thing. Migrants move in and just recreate where they came from. It's a shame Liberals could not see the need to help fix countries that have massive exoduses instead of just opening their doors increasing all the negative aspects of migration due to volume and lack of infrastructure. In small amounts it's a wonderful thing. In the amounts we see today, countries in Europe are fucked.

 

[Belaya Smert]

So unchecked immigration has its down falls. Go on….

I think it's more as a result as the rise in certain negative behaviors (Euphemism for assaults, robbery and rapes)... and not solely based on skin color.

But that tends to be a taboo topic. Governments like Sweden tend to avoid the topics to avoid being label racists.



Sweden: "Lets just abandon certain neighborhoods instead of addressing the issue"

Yeah, I'm sure it'll go away

Swedes Turn to Vigilante Justice To Deal With Migrant Crime
https://europeanconservative.com/ar...vigilante-justice-to-deal-with-migrant-crime/
Residents in the Stockholm suburb of Husby have started taking the law into their own hands after law enforcement, despite pleas from locals, has done little to alleviate problems with migrant crime.

Husby, northwest of Stockholm, is one of many areas across Sweden that are considered “vulnerable” due to high unemployment and high rates of crime, with a report claiming there were as many as 61 “no-go areas”, with 23 of them considered “particularly vulnerable.”

In recent months, residents of the area have complained of growing insecurity, telling local police about months of problems with homeless drug addicts who often camp out in storage rooms and basements of people’s homes, the newspaper Aftonbladet reports.

The Bureau of Land Management?

Yep, you’re not aware of the Bureau of Land Management protests following the George Floyd murder? George was a Park Ranger for the BLM.
