I am from Germany and the weirdest thing to me is the total ignorance of the de-facto "elites" (by that I mean the people in power and the top journalists).

They're in complete denial. They go so far as to deliberalitely not mention the ethnicity of migrant criminals. Instead of "foreigner" or "African" they just write "man" or "perpetrator". Sometimes they even portrait migrant criminals as Germans in TV (like I described in my latest article: https://rsnitsch.wordpress.com/2017/10/26/fake-news-aktenzeichen-xy-deutsche-schauspieler-fuer-marokkanische-messerstecher/). That's usually called brainwashing.

The crime statistics in Germany clearly say that foreigners are 5 times more likely to be involved in homicide than Germans (see "Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik 2016"). For asylum seekers the factor is about 10! But the "top" journalists try to minimize this by saying "well there are more young men among these groups and young men always have a higher rate of delinquency". They also claim that perpetrators that look like foreigners are more likely to be reported to the police (because of inherent racism in the german society; I'm not making this up) and this is distorting the statistics. All of this is ridiculuous. First, the factors are way too high for this bullshit explanation of "more young men". Second, we have had cases where young females did not report a rape because the perpetrator was a refugee and they had pity with the poor "traumatized" refugee. So, it could be the other way round, because actually lots of Germans are very compassionate with migrants.

This country is truly bat shit crazy.
