In Berlin-Hellersdorf<\/a>, the citizens’ initiative Marzahn-Hellersdorf defends itself with T-shirt imprints such as “No to the home” and the dates of the pogrom in Rostock-Lichtenhagen against a planned home for asylum seekers in their district. In Berlin-Reinickendorf<\/a>, tenants have hired a lawyer to enforce that children from the neighboring home are no longer allowed to play on the playground in front of their house. In Aarau, Switzerland<\/a>, the city council prohibits asylum seekers from visiting the local swimming pool, sports facilities, library and churches.<\/p>\n

At the same time as these racist actions, ZDF is launching the show “Auf der Flucht – Das Experiment” (On the Run – The Experiment<\/a>), in which German celebrities are to set off “to the countries of origin of asylum seekers in Germany” and thus “experience first-hand [erfahren] what it means to be on the run”. Instead of letting refugees themselves have their say, German state television prefers to produce a program full of racist assessments and descriptions. Nadia Shehadeh has<\/a> written an open letter<\/a> to the ZDF television council. It can also be signed here <\/a>.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, RTL and Pro7 are currently broadcasting similarly problematic series: Wild Girls – Mit Highheels durch Afrika<\/a> and Reality Queens of Safari<\/a>. The latter has now been discontinued<\/a> due to low ratings<\/a> and extensive criticism <\/a>from NGOs and many others. Not unreasonably, a commenter on africaisacountry wonders “What’s wrong with the Germans?”<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
