I wish I could be totally reassuring to you, but it’s probably best that you come to Germany with your eyes wide open. I never felt like a minority in the US. I was just me. I’m very aware now that I am a minority, even when I go back to the US for a visit. Some Germans have issues with minorities, especially in the former East. Some younger Germans explained it to me that some of the older former East German residents see all Asians as refugees from Vietnam and because of this treat them badly. I was sometimes pretty miserable in the east, but have grown to love Germany now that I live in Bavaria.
