Is that racist? I feel like that might be racist, but I can't tell if it's because I'm disgustingly woke or disgustingly both sides-y.

It appears to have been deleted....in the name of free speech i am sure.
Right... Which brings us back to why YOUR comment to sglow where you characterized your experience in Germany as "being part of a minority" and tried to minimize his personal experiences of being discriminated against struck people as offensive. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you're probably not this insensitive overall, and that you're just ignorant (as in unaware) of the actual difference and posted without thinking...
You are an AMERICAN, who was a guest in Germany and may or may not have been treated differently based on some of those factors ie haircut, uniform, language etc...You are not a German, and some people in Germany may have treated you differently than they do their fellow Germans...
sglow is an AMERICAN (of Chinese heritage) and he was discussing being discriminated against by fellow AMERICANS in AMERICA, where his ethnic heritage makes him a MINORITY. He is relating experiences of being discriminated against in his own country of birth, by people who know nothing about him other than the fact that his ethnicity is Chinese.
It's not only very poor taste but extremely hurtful and demeaning of you to try and pretend that Germans not liking you as a foreigner with short hair is remotely similar. It just doesn't compare, and I hope that now that the distinction has been pointed out you can see why you received the reaction that you did. Peace...
I was stationed south of Stuttgart from Jan 70 to Jul 71. I'd say 95% were friendly or neutral. One of my buddies would tell the 5% that US troops would leave after all Germans learned to speak Russian.
By the way 100% laughed at us when we tried to play soccer.
I was a minority there and I didn't minimize his personal experience. He asked if I'd ever been discriminated against and I explained I had.
Dumbass.
I was in Augsburg '74-'75 and then we moved up to Ansbach, up by Nurenburg. Had very little issues in Augsburg - great town and got along great with the locals.
Then we moved up to Ansbach to support the 1st ID (I think). The anti-Americanism there was palpable, mainly because every Saturday night the infantry boys would roll into town and tear up the local bars. I remember several night sitting in a club which was frequented by Americans. About 10pm, a chair would go flying by and there would be a big bar fight.
Several restaurants we'd walk in, sit down, and wait....and wait... and wait.... until we finally left. They just didn't want to serve Americans, and I can understand why.
I had a German girlfriend I'd met on the train to Wurzburg (I should have brought her home) and we'd go out there and were banned from certain clubs because they didn't allow Americans in. Again, there were a lot of infantry stationed there.
It didn't bother me that much, but it hurt a little that they wanted to lump me in with the drunks and violent. Again, I don't blame them, but it was clear discrimination.
I joined a German-American club at one of the kasernes in Augsburg. Met a lot of great folks, Germans and ex-pat Americans and military wives.... but that's a story for another day.

Hopefully there's no image of that on his laptop...conservatives would go wild over that.
I guess we don't have to worry about a surge of unwanted pregnancies and abortions in the DC area. #1 Dad is staying in... Texas, right?
