Just Like Another Country I Know

Wiesbaden

Even if you don’t understand German, this should be easy to comprehend.

The more interesting graph would be the ratio between Germans and migrants plotted by age.

My educated guess just by looking at this is that it’s in the low ones to one from ages zero to early twenties, and then slowly rises to its zenith of maybe about a six to one ratio in the ages of the upper 50s to 60. Then falls, then rises again to about a six to one ratio in the early-mid 80s. Then falls.

This is one of the many reasons why immigration as an issue is currently difficult, because the current German ruling class is acculturated and acclimated to a six to one natives vs migrants population sociology in their entire existences in both time and space, and just don’t understand how vibrant the rest of Germany is especially for younger people. They don’t understand that their own immigration policies have had the big demographic effects that they have, because they never have had to live around them. They live in the same 6:1 world they always have, the “one” meaning that Germany gets to have Doner Kebabs. And they presume that the 6:1 ratio is everywhere, and will never change. “Du bist verrückt und verbreitet Verschwörungstheorien. Es gibt keinen laufenden Bevölkerungsaustausch.” They don’t personally see any replacement, so therefore, there must not actually be one.

Then again, it’s no different from another country I know.
