I (a US citizen) literally didn't get a job in Germany because one member on the team objected because I didn't speak German yet. The company is "English first" and I worked in the US division previously. So yeah, Europeans are certainly as capable of being racist. And they didn't even try to hide it!
Ah yes, the English language speaking race
I see you deal in absolutes. The person wanted a fluent German speaker despite being an English first company. Put it together in your head.
Is that racism?
Yeah, it's racist to hire another more qualified candidate that can speak multiple languages in a setting that would benefit from that skill...
Clearly you must have all the details about where I worked and applied already. What an amazing ability!
