OK Mulberry, this is running for some time now. As a german I can assure you that I am very sensitive to xenophobia. Developing a sense for that is actually what they teach us since childhood. But that also means, that I see this as a very serious accusal. From your response to Shadaoe I see, that you like people to join your point of view.
But, please, provide some points for that! All that we've seen so far are some sentences and a link, all in a foreign language that the majority here does not understand. And no, google translation is DEFINATELY no solution for that. Language is a tricky thing, especially if it goes to nuances like the tone someone used. A machine definately cannot do this work, it won't catch what actually was meant.
So please do the work and translate the critical points into english. It does not have to be perfect; almost all members here are not native speakers, so they won't notice. But as a human you can do what the machine cannot do: catch the emotion behind the sentences and bring it into your translated sentences.
I think, from that one, everyone can join and make their own opinion. This is not possible up to now, so don't implicitly accuse Shadaoe that he tolerates xenophobia when he does not even understand what was said there.
