I'm an Ossi and I never thought I would say this, but I don't want my kids in a kita where they are the "Ausländer", the only one who speaks german.
This is simply down to prejudices, especially in East Germany where few people have had the opportunity to learn themselves how migration looks like.
But we have TV! :)
You don't have to be prejudiced when you don't want the Paris Banlieus in Dresden or the events of Silvester 2015 at the Naumburg Dom!
It's the same in Poland and Hungary...you can say that the East Germans are historically much closer to them than their western brethren though because of the shared past of communist opression and the total miss of the western 68er "revolution"...
If you have enough money, you do not want to study in an area with a deeply xenophobic population.
What happens now in Germany happens everywhere in the western world. The split of once more or less homogeneous nations into multi-cultural hipster towns and growing mega cities with ultra liberal globalist citizens and all the rest, which is deepy rooted, not as liberal and not globalist or "hip".
This split is so bitter because the govs are usually leaning into one or the other direction meaning one side will suffer for sure. A broad consensus aka stability is harder and harder to find by the year.
The refugees are not the problem agreed, but they have become the symbol of this war.
Right now the current traditional policy maker are stumbling to find an answer to this split...if they have acknowledged that development at all.
But one thing won't happen for sure, that the growing youth will somehow make sure that this war will be won by demography. Especially not as the liberal youth will pack their bags and wander off to the next big liberal town and the others stay. The split will only deepen and this war can destroy everything the liberals take for granted, if they don't start to take that seriously.
