This book examines contemporary attitudes towards ethnic minorities
in Germany. These minorities include some of immigrant origin, such
as Italians, Turks, and asylum seekers, and the principal
non-immigrant minority, Jews. While the findings demonstrate that
intense prejudice against minorities is not widespread among
Germans, many of whom in fact can be considered immigrant- and
minority-friendly, a crystallization of attitudes is also evident:
that is, attitudes towards immigrants are strongly correlated with
anti-Semitism and with other worldview dimensions, such as
positioning in the left-right political spectrum. In this sense,
the fundamental question of whether immigrants and other minorities
should be regarded as fellow citizens or ethnic outsiders remains
relevant in the German context.
