hatred does only harm

Mara, I think with their generalizations and harted against Germans those people say more about themselves than they say about Germans...

I think it's racist to say that all people who belong to a certain group or nationality are bad. Those generalizations are dangerous and they will only lead to more bad feelings and hatred. And who will gain by that ?

I have also read the study that "proud Brazilian" refers to and surprisingly it said that Germany was considered a country with a good image in many countries. So the hateful posters don't speak for their entire country even if they wish it was like that. To me the people who say racist stuff about Germans are just as bad as racists within Germany. Therefore I ignore hateful useless post and only reply to the ones who have some interesting points and constructive criticism.

I guess some racists will always hate Germans no matter what we do because for them hating others seems to be a necessity. Also Germans are not the only target of hate... Many other people and countries also get offended and insulted by haters. But in my opinion hatred harms the haters more than the people who are hated.

@ guy from Ankara: Your post is funny If you like I could teach you more useful phrases in German and you could teach me some Turkish. Would you like to chat on MSN ?

@ Expat: Maybe accepting every insult will also strengthen the opinion of racist people because then they will think they can allow themselves every rudness and offense because Germans are the only ones who accept getting insulted without getting upset. I guess if the hateful poster wrote the stuff they wrote against Germans about Americans or Russians in an American or Russian forum the response would be a lot harsher.
