Wrong comment? I wasn't talking to you and you didn't address any argument made, just reiterating the ever same Ossi vs. Wessi blabla.
> I have grown up in one of those apparently 'nazi-infested' areas, my entire family lives there and I visit every couple of weeks.
And are you even targeted by racism to make yours a relevant experience? Do you even try to understand the problem?
Man, and you even got some refugees! Saxony has one of the lowest shares of migrants and people with a migration background in all of Germany. Even Leipzig and in particular Dresden show up at the bottom compared with other German cities. That's facts.

In contrast, as shown above, Saxony has one of the highest rates of violent crimes motivated by right wing extremism (going on for decades). Tendenz steigend. All together, this makes Saxony factually one of the most dangerous and unwelcoming places to be for anyone targeted by racists. And dude, this is violent crimes, it doesn't even consider the daily verbal hostilities etc..
Maybe, just maybe, if people there would care as much about this very real problem as they care about its perception, things would change for the better. Making yourself the victim is what's disgusting.
