I'm sorry, I shouldn't restrict german to germans, especially not in a discussion about discrimination... > >At least where I lived in germany, but one never knows... > > _Where_ did you live in .de? In nothern germany most of the time, a lot of different places in Schleswig-Holstein and Hannover for a long time. We lived in Stuttgart for a year or so, but I was very small then. I'm studying in Heidelberg, but I don't understand much if someone speaks in the local dialect there. Right now I'm exchange student in Uppsala (Sweden), so I can try in swedish: "För serverna vill jag endast potatis." "Serverna" ist just a wild guess, though. Jö. -- Gute Nacht Deutschland.
