A YouTube video of a young German woman crossing the street to avoid
a group of Syrian refugees who were walking in her direction has sparked
outrage and accusations of "blatant racism" and "inherent
xenophobia." The video which was posted by user Diversity Is Strength and titled Racist German Woman Avoids Syrian Refugees, ignited a huge debate
in the YouTube comments section of
the user's page.
In the video which was filmed at night time and is only forty-five seconds long with no audio, the young blonde, white woman wearing a grey winter coat and black pants with matching black ankle boots can be seen walking down a street in the German capital of Berlin clutching her handbag as she approaches a group of five Syrian refugee men coming in her direction. One of the men comes closer to her and appears to speak to her but instead of engaging in conversation, the woman quickly crosses the street in order to avoid them.

For Everyone commented:
"Well done Germany on reverting to your Nazi
past. Just imagine a poor Syrian refugee can't even engage in a healthy
conversation with a German woman without being treated like a potential
criminal. This blatant racism and inherent xenophobia has to stop."
One responder to Europe For Everyone going by the YouTube name Make Germany White Again,
replied:
"So avoiding potential muggers and
rapists is equivalent to Nazism now? Wow! You know for a fact that Germany has
gone to the dogs when the sexual cravings and hurt feelings of male foreigners
are now more important than the safety and well-being of our own women."
