The Institute for Human Rights released a new report detailing immigrant experiences with racism in Denmark and it's even worse than one would expect. Numbers are from the past year.

https://menneskeret.dk/udgivelser/oplevet-etnisk-diskrimination-danmark

quote:

Key figures from the report:

84% of ethnic minority persons report that they've experienced discrimination or prejudice due to their ethnic background.

65% report that they've experienced illegal discrimination due to their ethnic background.

48% of those who've sent an application report that they've experienced having it rejected based on their ethnic background, particularly as it pertains to jobs, training, homes and banking.

49% report that they've received worse service due to their ethnic background, particularly as it pertains to shopping, dining, healthcare and education.

28% report that they've been denied entry to places otherwise open to the public due to their ethnic background, particularly as it pertains to nightlife.

29% report that they've been stopped by police without any apparent cause other than their ethnic background.

12% report that they've been subjected to violence or threats due to their ethnic background. Victims of violence report that bystanders rarely intervene.

11% of victims of discrimination report that they've lodged a complaint afterwards, particularly because many don't believe it will make a difference.

55% report that they've altered their conduct in public due to their ethnic background. Many adapt how they walk, speak or appear, or refrain from speaking their family's native language in public. Some report that they've changed their names or refrain from wearing religious symbols.

38% report to some, high or very high degree that they've considered leaving Denmark due to their experiences with discrimination or prejudice.

Being Black in the EU � Experiences of people of African descent

FRA's first Being Black in the EU report exposed widespread and entrenched racism against people of African descent in Europe. Now updated with new data, this report revisits the situation revealing persistent racial discrimination, harassment and violence. Overall, experiences of racial discrimination increased in the EU countries since 2016, reaching as high as 77%. The lack of progress is alarming despite binding anti-discrimination law in the EU since 2000 and significant EU policy developments since then.

Most Germans recognize that racism exists in their society, affecting not only minorities but everybody who lives here. The country's first National Discrimination and Racism report has found some surprising results.

Have you ever been a victim of racism? In a recent survey, 22% of people living in Germany answered "yes" to this question. Researchers from the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM) conducted 5,000 telephone interviews from April to August 2021. They also analyzed media coverage, academic papers and legal documents.

Their findings were published in the institute's first nationwide study entitled "Racist Realities � How Germany Deals with Racism." It is part of the National Discrimination and Racism Monitor (NaDiRa) and was presented by DeZIM director Naika Foroutan on Thursday in Berlin. (https://www.rassismusmonitor.de/studie-rassistische-realitaeten/)

"We were really surprised that 90% said there is racism in Germany," she said, adding that the researchers were also surprised that about half agreed with the statement "We live in a racist society." That indicates people have an awareness of institutional and structural racism, she said.

The study focused on attitudes toward six groups: Jews, Muslims, Sinti and Roma, Black people, Asians and Eastern Europeans. It found that people experienced discrimination based on their skin and hair color, but also because they wore a headscarf or had a foreign-sounding name.

The report also discusses phenomena the study team described as "gradation" in relation to discrimination. For example, when it comes to discrimination in the labor or housing market, the researchers found that "when it affects Jews or Black people, it is more likely to be described as racist than when it involves Sinti and Roma or Muslims."

Almost half of the respondents said they believed that human "races" exist, despite this having long been debunked by science. This view was held disproportionately by older participants in the survey. One-third of respondents said they believed that in general certain ethnic groups were more industrious than others.

One-third of those surveyed said victims of racism were "oversensitive." About 45% said they believed that "political correctness" and opposition to racism restricted freedom of expression. While the majority in Germany recognizes that racism exists, it is seen as part of everyday life. Almost 65% of people in Germany assume that state authorities practice racist discrimination.

Racism cuts across all social groups

"Acknowledging racism does not mean that you are anti-racist," Foroutan said. And those who experience racism "don't behave any less racist" than others.

Racism is not a question of education or origin, and victims of racism can also be perpetrators, the researchers found.

It is more a matter of hierarchy, observed Foroutan, who sees parallels to the findings in gender research. "Racism and sexism theoretically play out on the same level," she concluded.

Equal opportunities for migrants?

Family Minister Lisa Paus, a Green party politician, described the results of the report as in part "shocking."

The study found that a higher level of formal education does not protect against racist discrimination.

"So racism has nothing to do with successful integration," the family minister concluded.

70% of those surveyed said they were willing to take action against racism. Young people in particular are committed to combating racism and less likely to accept it, Foroutan explained.

"Germany knows about its racism problem," said the Federal Government Commissioner for Racism, Reem Alabali-Radovan, of the Social Democratic Party, after the publication of the report. The Racism Monitor is an important step toward change, she added.

What does it mean to be Black in Germany?

At the press conference, Family Minister Paus stressed that she expected the planned Democracy Promotion Act to provide "more permanent structures for civil society engagement against extremism and racism." The legislation, which is currently being drawn up, aims to provide a basis for the promotion and funding of grassroots initiatives that combat extremism in the country.

The National Discrimination and Racism Monitor is intended to provide a database and benchmark for policymakers to take action to combat racism. A fresh survey is to be conducted every two years, provided that the budget committee approves funding for it.

This part is key:

quote:

In 2022, Yesilg�z delivered the annual Hendrik Jan Schoo lecture entitled "Doing What It Takes to Protect Our Democratic Rule of Law" in which she criticised wokeism, far-right politicians, and conspiracy theorists, and argued that the Dutch constitutional state is allegedly under pressure from left-wing activism.[26][27] Yesilg�z considers Frits Bolkestein as her main liberal role model.[28]

Bolkestein btw is directly influenced by American libertarians, and was also one of the main influences of people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Wilders.

The whole point of the lecture was to equate "wokism" (which was left undefined) to the far right.

When you think about it, NL remains a very tolerant country; anyone regardless of background or ethnicity is allowed to radicalize into a fash here.

The Dutch like their fascism subtle and to inch the Overton window to the right. Baudet is this weird combination of elitist and very obviously Nazi that makes most people uncomfortable. His fixed base consists of I would say people who view PVV/Geert Wilders as the working man's populist, rambling uninformed nonsense and lowbrow one-liners, preferring the educated incel with the big words vibe of FvD
