The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display

Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.

The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition

The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.

    This is incredibly dumb, but tbh I understand their intention. In Germany you’ll meet the worst kind of racists.

    Once in Starbucks, a white cunt woman filled my coffee mug with trash while I was in the bathroom… Less extreme, but I think every Asian descendant was at least once told to go back to China. I have been mocked for my Asian eyes, etc.

    Seriously, many of their grandparents were okay with locking Jews in camps, the population as a mass grabbed and shared Jews’ properties, and then officially killed them in gas chambers.

      You sound pretty racist yourself when you generalize the whole german population like that, based on one asshole messing around with your coffee …

        I didn’t. If that’s your take from this text of mine, I don’t know how I could explain that to you.
