Germany’s anti-diversity backlash isn’t fatigue – it’s strategy masquerading as neutrality | Fatma Aydemir

The article discusses the troubling trend of anti-diversity sentiments in Germany, suggesting that this backlash is not merely a sign of fatigue but a strategic maneuver disguised as neutrality. It highlights how even self-proclaimed progressives in the arts need to reflect on their roles in perpetuating these issues. The piece emphasizes the contrast between the mythologized image of Black athletes and the real-life suspicion they face in public spaces, using choreographer Joana Tischkau's new work 'Runnin'' as a focal point to illustrate these themes. This matters because it calls for a deeper examination of societal attitudes towards race and diversity.
