Racism in the Berlin bus: Asian passenger is verbally attacked!

In Berlin, a recently experienced incident causes excitement in a BVG bus. A man from Vietnam reported on a racist attack that was looking for him during his trip at the Nollendorfplatz. The incident described in a Reddit contribution occurred when a fellow traveler insulted him without being asked and even spat on it. He described his complete shock rigid and the urge to seek help. The response of the Berliners to Reddit was quick: Many advised him to file a complaint with the police and to contact the bus company, probably the BVG, to secure any existing surveillance recordings. The BVG recommends that the driving personnel immediately provide information in such incidents to offer support as quickly as possible, such as "https://www.berlin-live.de/berlin/verkehr/bvg-bus-bus-dit-sprache-id323297.html"> Berlin Live reported .

racism incident and compensation for pain and suffering

This is not the first incident that the BVG puts in a negative light. Another, remarkable case concerned the singer Jeremy Osborne, who submitted a lawsuit due to a racist insult during a ticket control of BVG security employees. On July 10, 2023, a court decided that Osborne was entitled to 1,000 euros in pain and suffering because he was awarded the violation of his general right of personality. The incident occurred in 2020 when it was racistically insulted in the subway. This jurisprudence is considered significant recognition in the black community, especially since the judgment was for the first time a plaintiff for discrimination against the BVG. Osborne considers: "I heard of these incidents on my arrival in Berlin", such as rbb24 reported .

The BVG, however, is reluctant and emphasized that allegations such as Osborne and the incidents on the bus are always taken seriously. You do not tolerate discrimination or violence and keep pursuing training to promote an inclusive environment. However, developments in racist incidents in public transport throw a shadow on the well -known tolerant atmosphere of Berlin.
