Why is Deutsche Welle racist against South Africa?

Germany's international broadcaster says it opposes racism, stereotyping and collective prejudice. Yet when it reports on South Africa, xenophobia becomes a national condition, apartheid is never far away and Mandela is repeatedly summoned as a morality test.

The Enquirer Editorial Board ยท

No, marching for South African women is not 'xenophobic.' It is what a broken state forced on us.

A journalist who reports on immigration says you cannot march against gender-based violence and against illegal immigration at the same time. South Africans answered him. Their argument deserves to be heard.
