This week...the Bavarian Integration Commissioner (Gudrun Brendel-Fischer) wrote up a piece for the organization....to 'educate' the public (meaning not refugees or asylum folks)....but actual German/Bavarian voters.
So what she said was.....'Ukrainian refugees didn't have to be told by the integration folks....how a washing machine works, or that cooking on the floor of the room is not allowed'.
In simple terms.....she was suggesting that they were at the same level of Germans, and there's a whole bunch of things which to be detailed out to 'other' refugees, so this period is different from 2015 to 2018.
Well....this comment got the SPD Party all riled up because it sounded racist. They want Brendel-Fischer to resign.
Another woke-moment? More or less.
Around six years ago, I got into a discussion with a Damascus refugee. Not having been there.....I was asking questions. Yes, they had social media, Twitter, and reality TV. He went into some detail about their version of 'Dallas' (Al Khorba)....which had a JR kind of bad guy, and some family in-fighting in some remote twelve-goat village (his words not mine). He admitted driving in Germany freaked him out, and that he was a bit shocked over the amount of rules to survive in Germany.
Did Brendel-Fishcher say something silly? You have to remember that various people show up in Germany these days, and some are more advanced than others. You don't need some fourteen-hour lecture for South Koreans, Malaysians, or Canadians. Yes, there's probably ten-percent of the incoming refugees who weren't living in an advanced society, and they DO need the fourteen-hour lecture to grasp how advanced Germany is.
Was Brendel-Fishcher handing out misinformation? Not that I could see. The fact she uttered something to get people freaked out....admitting some folks aren't advanced? That's how silly the whole integration/immigration business has become in the last decade.
On the positive side....at least we have a good fake 'get-hyped-up' mess to keep the SPD Party busy in Bavaria for at least two weeks. And yes, there are misinformation elements to it....so that should double the comedy developing.
