Trump has slashed education funding, meaning many US universities are facing hiring freezes and budget constraints. Economist Monika Schnitzer speaks to DW’s Marie Sina about the opportunities for German universities and research institutions to tempt academics and scientists to cross the pond.
I think this is related to Europe as it may try to take advantage of the current situation in the US to its advantage. This one focuses on Germany.
If you look Latino, people will probably think you are Turkish or Arab and treat you like that. While racist violence is on the rise it is still less prevalent than the general violence in Brazil, but the trend is not going well. If you can, i recommend going to some other EU country where this is less of a problem.
Fair enough. I was considering France and England, too. What are your thoughts on those?
For France racist violence against Arabs is quite high from what i know, but given the proximity to Spain i would assume that they are a bit more able to tell apart Iberians and Latinos from Arabs. However French cops are notorious for beating up racialized people as a weekend sport.
The UK seems to be more diverse and have long established immigrant communities, mainly from the former British colonies. From what i understood both in terms of safety nets and in terms of social acceptance of people “looking brown” the UK is somewhat ahead relative to many mainland EU countries.
I have only briefly spent time in France however and i have yet to visit the UK, so these can only be a idea of what to look for. On another note. You should also consider the weather, especially sunshine in winter. In Germany Berlin is notorious for having an almost uninterrupted cloud-cover during November and December and many people with a healthier skin color suffer strongly from seasonal depression.
