I was wondering the same. We are sliding further right and into populism every year. If we are the "leading democracy" that's bad news for the world.

Agreed. As a white German woman myself, I can tell you that we are very used to being above any suspicion. I have been waved on in every traffic control and border check I've ever been in.

Also the German passport is one of the strongest in the world, we can basically go wherever we want when travelling. And now suddenly the US of all places is a country we have to be cautious in.

This is of course a very privileged position to be in, but they are teenagers, they probably haven't had to think about that until now.

I'm glad it did too. I did not need this information, nor do I know what to do with it, but somehow you made both of our days a little bit better.

300 is btw roughly the amount of players in 27 soccer teams or the exact amount of fingers on 60 hands.

Fun fact: German ICEs (high-speed trains) are not allowed to enter Switzerland if they are delayed too much so they don't disrupt the Swiss schedule. This year more than 10% were not allowed to continue.
