Related: About this forumOutrage after AfD scorn mixed-race girl playing 'Christ Child'
BBCThe mayor of Nuremberg in Germany has attacked a far-right party for "openly racist" comments about a teenage girl picked to be a Christmas gift-bringer.
A member of Alternative for Germany (AfD) attacked Benigna Munsi, who will open the city's Christmas market.
The teen was born in Nuremberg to an Indian father and a German mother.
"You would laugh about it if you didn't know these guys are serious, but you could cry about this level of hostility," Mayor Ulrich Maly said.

(15,096 posts)6. Jesus was pretty hateful toward the Canaanite woman
because she was a different ethnicity. When she pleaded with him to help her child, first he rudely ignored her. Then he told her, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel," and compared her to a dog begging at the table. Only after she groveled enough to suit him, and agreed with his dehumanizing characterization of her, did he relent and heal her child. Matthew 15:21-28
