That was a good last chapter, albeit I doubt that the people it adresses will ever stop whining. They like it too much.

Is what he states really so typical for Germany or just for Flensburg?

Ok, you criticized the European and Gwerman immigration rrules regarding LGBTQ people. But what is the alternative? What is a functioning system?

I hadn't come across the accusation of being a token from leftists towards people that they don't like.

Fear of critcizing Islam... common apparently.

Oh yeah, the circumcision "debate", there was no shortage of screaming racism and antisemitism.

So in the 21st century all european homocides of Jews were commited by Muslims? I surely never heard that before. And appparently Leipzig is the center of political Islam in East Germany.

Are they accusing Said of antisemitism now? Could be, this author seems to use one of the vague definitions. Antisemitism is one of the big flaws of this book, since so many of its authors completely switch when it comes to that topic and basically act like the people they criticized.

They stated that "people of color" is the "self-identification of people affected by racism"? So, I can call myself a person of color now? And then they stated that racism is the discrimination of people of color... that is circular reasoning. I do wonder also why the author considers "animosity towards Jews" to be an insufficient definition of antisemitism.

I get that certain things are offensive, however, many of her examples are old by now and this one case of where an old lady thought someone is a refugee from Syria is on the same level as when I was the only one who got a fork in a Vietnamese imbiss.
