Why do Germans hate Russians?

blog

To be honest, this is not entirely true, but the results of an entertaining study, which we stumbled upon, prove the existence of some discrimination by the Germans towards people from the countries of the former USSR.

The essence of the research is that packages of documents from fake personalities were sent to various vacancies. All the questionnaires indicated the same age, qualification and country of origin – Germany. But some people had migrant roots, which were expressed in characteristic appearance (Asians, blacks, whites), names pointing to foreign origin, and different native languages.
Professional qualifications

The point is to check whether potential employers pay attention to skin color, “strange” names and origins. Notice once again that fictional candidates are not migrants. All of them were born in Germany and have German citizenship. If they were stateless migrants, it would not be discrimination, but only the reluctance of extra paperwork to get a foreigner to work.

The results showed that people with roots from North America, Eastern and Western Europe and Asia are invited to interview as often as the Germans. But applicants with Russian roots were in the group with those whose parents came from Africa and the Middle East and Latin America.

Firstly, in certain areas like the hotel business, knowledge of foreign languages ​​will be only an advantage. In this area of ​​preference is almost imperceptible.
Secondly, what is more important, it is important to correctly complete the application. The fact is that mistakes by the native Germans will be perceived as a typo, and by people with migrant roots as poor language skills.
