Racism and discrimination condoned at the Jobcenter München in Germany?

To this date the general manager of the Jobcenter München, Martina Musati, did not deem it necessary to reply to two subsequent email enquiries regarding the legal basis of


  • requesting the school mid-term certificate of my asian/german daughter
  • to obtain surreptitiously the email address of my daughter
  • why my daughter is contacted from a jobs department, when the Jobcenter knows very well that my daughter attends school full time.

The Jobcenter München rather resorted to a pretty stupid and at the same time denotive measure some seven days ago, when it responded to email enquiries with an auto responder (they never had an auto responder before) that suggests to contact the Jobcenter next to you and concludes with the message:

Please note that your email is not being forwarded!


Excerpt from the UN Report


Report of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, Githu Muigai
Addendum
Mission to Germany* 

68. Due to Germany’s federal structure, the Special Rapporteur believes that the second key challenge for the realization of anti-racism commitments in Germany is to successfully involve the Länder and municipal administrations, where the real focus of political power often lies. Despite the range of federal laws and programmes, as well as international human rights commitments, it is at the local level that the real implementation of anti- discrimination provisions takes place. Unless local administrations transpose federal laws into local ordinances and guidelines, a core problem will continue to exist in the fight against racism. In this regard, the next phase of the struggle against racism in German society is to ensure that local administrations have effective legal and institutional frameworks that respond to the many challenges of the problem of racism. 

Long way to go, Jobcenter München !
