In a searing indictment of the behavior of some refugees, the woman said her idealism has been eroded and virtually destroyed.
At first she said was enthusiastic in her role of helping process tens of thousands of migrants arriving in Germany on a weekly basis.
Now, she says she is disillusioned, disheartened and on the verge of quitting due to demands and sexual harassment.
She told Welt am sonntag newspaper she took on the role at the refugee center in Hamburg last Autumn and was "overjoyed" at the thought of "helping the refugees"
But after a few days, she said, her enthusiasm was drained away.
The woman, whose identity has been protected, said: "Of course you may not assess all refugees the same: there are many who are very friendly, happy to be here, very grateful, very willing to be integrated.
"But if I am honest, working with 90 per cent of them is rather awkward and unfortunately not as I previously thought.
She is obviously a racist bigot to claim that 90% of them make her feel awkward, sexually harass her, touch her, etc...you can't judge a culture...all cultures are equal.
This is not exactly how some people on here have described these people......so they are not tolerant of others and don't know women are not there for their self interests. This below is how a woman must feel safer in her own country!
She said she has gone from wearing close-fitting clothes to "wide-cut trousers" and tops with high necklines. She also wears little make-up.
A few years back, I took in a dog that was abused by his previous owner. They were going to put him down because he wouldn't trust anyone and would snap at people.
When I took him home, he did his regular routine of barking and snapping at me very aggressively. I grabbed him, shook him, and yelled at him "stop snapping at me!" He never barked or snapped at me ever again.
Nowadays, 5 years after I adopted him and he is the most adorable dog. Anyone can play with him. Neighbor's kids love him.
I used to work for habitat for humanity. Often times, the people we tried to help would try to take as much advantage of us as they could. Why? Because that's all they know. They didn't know any better.
I've found that people who idealizes helping others (people or animals) are always greatly disappointed when they found out reality is never what they fantasized. Those of us who are truly dedicated to helping others are fully aware that more often than not when we feed those who need our help our hands at times will be bitten.
That woman in the article in the OP was just another idealistic person who thought she was living in a damn movie. Then reality hits.
Here's the thing. Just because some of these people's natural tendency is to turn around and bite the hands that feed them doesn't mean we should give up on them. Didn't your jesus say something about this?
These people came from a culture of violence and oppression. That's all they know. I know what I'm about to say may sound offensive, but trying to help these people is like trying to help the abused dog I adopted. You have to show strength as well as patience... a lot of patience.
These are human beings and not dogs. They should know better, unless they are behaving like animals.
