In Germany people from Eastern Europe were, especially in the past seen as less valuable people. Like “ we don’t want to rent you this apartment, we don’t want to hire you, we don’t want you here, don’t speak your strange language in public ” less valuable.

Polish women had it “better” because some German men wanted to marry them because they “knew their place, liked to cook and looked pretty.”

When I was younger I experienced discrimination.
Now with the education I have, the german Mr Apia husband, and my bitchy attitude I don’t.

And right wing Germans concentrate on other immigrants to hate now, the once who look less European.
I don't know enough about your culture to have much of an opinion on this one. As the robot in Rick and Morty said "Not my table."
