That's how racism spreads. A 2025 German textbook published by Mildenberger Verlag teaches children that while a German child plays the guitar after school, a Brazilian child doesn’t go to school at all-he collects garbage to survive.

This isn't just a stereotype; it's a deliberate reinforcement of racist narratives. When such depictions go unchallenged, they shape perceptions, justify inequality, and fuel the rise of parties like the AfD, whose racism is no accident-it's cultivated.
