Default RE: Going to Germany as an Au Pair - 08-15-2004, 05:11 AM

Answering the understandably angry question of Playeress:
>why dont they just get german babysitters from germany?
>whats the deal with importing an african all the way from
>kenya?

Please read the supplied links. They answer your question:
"Zurzeit kommen jährlich ca. 30.000 junge Menschen im Alter von 17 – 25 Jahren als Aupair nach Deutschland. Ein sehr großer Teil, ca. 80%, kommt aus Osteuropa, 10% der Bewerber kommen aus Afrika, 5% aus Lateinamerika, 3% aus Asien und 2% aus EU Staaten und den USA. 90% aller Bewerber sind junge Frauen."
That's the deal.

>this is soo dum..kwani black people are the best candidates to
>be servants and maids...upuzi!

This is a common US-American attitude however. Not a German one.
Racism has been on rise in Germany since 1990, alas (no use denying it); but it is still far less visible and palpable than in France and Great Britain (or Italy); and it is not a pervasive structural feature of society as in the USA.
