I would say this is helping because it’s allowing me to learn a language and connect with people but this dude “Jordan” (not his real name) is known as a bad person at my school. He is half German and thinks he can hate Jewish people and act like a Nazi but because he speaks German at home, it allows him to actually speak German and say rude things without people knowing.
He taught me some German anyway, and it was actually normal stuff and he told me I should take German classes to immerse myself.
All the German’s I’ve known are the opposite of this. They’re very quick to stamp out nazism and anti-semitism. I think that generally they would respond more harshly than most non-germans. That said, my experience might not be representative and it seems like the far right is gaining popularity in Germany.
I think it’s more likely that he acts that way because someone at home acts that way.
Pretty pathetic really.
You’ve correctly identified that this kid is a douche. Sure he might know a foreign language, but that doesn’t make up for wanting to exterminate you if you were born to the wrong family.
I agree. He’s a terrible person, I don’t talk to him anymore for that reason but in fifth grade, he was my best friend. He is a spoiled kid, I know that, with enabler parents.
People change, and with bigotry, they’ve often been changed by others.
He may not always have been like that, so it’s okay to like someone once and not at other times. Best advice I can give is listen to your inner moral compass. If something sounds wrong, it probably is.
