The publisher answered my complaint about the Hamid's story in their coursebook. Then I found a second problem: a test question that treats "Migrationshintergrund" and "Ausländeranteil" as the same thing. Here is how did they replied.

There's an anti-discrimination law. There are "Refugees Welcome" signs everywhere. There are email addresses for reporting it. What I wanted to know is whether any of that holds up once you actually need it.

My lawyer told me I looked like a homeless person (backpack + documents) minutes before my court hearing. When I complained, his response: "I'll be more careful with my jokes next time." A perfect example of non-apology:

Many migrants know this question: “Why did you come to Germany?” I write about why it’s rarely as innocent as it sounds. We often talk about migration as if it were just a personal decision — ignoring wars, repression, the arms trade, and Europe’s part in all of it. I try to unpack what it means to be asked such a personal question in that larger context.

New blog post:
When Germans say 'we also struggle too,' it's frustrating. They don't seem to understand what immigrants actually face.
So I'm taking their 'ask a German' invitation seriously - here are 11 questions I genuinely want answered about German society, culture, and work ethic.

A concrete case from German language education: a textbook narrative, a complaint, and how a language school responded — appreciation without responsibility.

Hamid’s Story and the Politics of Gratitude in German Language Course Book
"... this story sends a troubling message: the message is that simply escaping war should be enough reason to be grateful".

First part of a small series based on true experiences. The text describes how everyday discrimination is encountered and how different institutions respond — sometimes clearly, often very distantly. It also touches on the uncertainty of whether reporting is worth the effort.
