Opinion: Is Eastern Europe Really More Racist Than the West?

What does it matter how long they were living there? Your whole argument is that these German settlers that were coming back are somehow radically different from German Germans and that their integration was easy and thus integration of the current wave of ME migrants will be the same. However, you keep ignoring the fact that these German settlers were very German still. They were ethnically German, spoke German and never became integrated into the territories they moved to.

Your argument is false and bullshit and when I call you out on that you tell me that you don't care that the link you provided (and seemingly didn't read) directly contradictions you and you cite your anecdotal evidence.

You cite the migration of millions of people over several decades starting in 1950, provide a source that directly contradicts you, then claim that your anecdotal evidence of meeting some people trumps all this and try and tell me I have severe mental problems?

Serious question, but what is wrong with you?

You seem to be so indoctrinated you can't think straight.

The same ridiculous argument you are trying to make has been made a million times. It doesn't hold up, ever.

Integrating ethnic Germans who speak German and are cultural Germans living for a couple generations on the outskirts of German territories is not the same as integrating completely different people with different culture, religion, values and experiences from a thousand miles away.

You also cite a number of 4.5 million and then act like the majority of this is recent arrivals that come for economic reasons when the fact is this is a vast minority. The majority of the people you cited came right after the world wars and they came not for economic reasons but because they were thrown out or heavily oppressed by the Soviets.
