Racism in this article: please assess
[edit]This article needs an overhaul by a critical reviewer to remove possible racist and anti-migrant undertones. The sources are in some places dubious and the use of 'migrants' 'African males' etc rings alarm bells. Please verify the sources and evaluate the possible connotations of language used in the article. Understandably this is a political topic but for an encyclopedic article there is evidently too much bias present — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.130.29.238 (talk) 14:17, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
I found the opposite in it's current form: it seems to already to be bending over backwards to avoid blaming any one group of individuals. I think it is biased towards the left wing narrative, and is not at all racist. Aussiewikilady (talk) 12:42, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
IN fact, there is some justification for highlighting the cultural and non-native aspect in order to understand what happened. Lets take this quote from the entry: "By April 2016, statistics recorded by authorities indicated that out of the identified 153 suspects in Cologne who were convicted of sexual offenses and other crimes during New Year's Eve 2015–16, two-thirds were originally from Morocco or Algeria, 44% were asylum seekers, another 12% were likely to have been in Germany illegally, and 3% were underaged unaccompanied refugees.[21][22]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aussiewikilady (talk • contribs) 12:46, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
So you think that fact and a clear correlation should be obfuscated instead of being acknowledged. Yes, that's totally a neutral and not biased thing to do (sarcasm). Noxian16 (talk) 13:38, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
I agree, this article is walking on tip toes as not to offend those sexual offenders. V8 19:06, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
Don't try to make the problem smaller by removing details about their race or ethnicity. Resistance against these events needs to grow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.36.51.155 (talk) 12:12, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
NPOV in "Anger at media and government" section
[edit]I think this needs to be rewritten:
Accordingly, in the aftermath of the 2015 New Year’s Eve, it has been even more difficult for journalists to decide about the extent of information they should publish about crimes committed by ethnic minorities. What has been important for German media is to regain the trust of the people by focusing on the downsides, as well as on the chances of migration without stereotyping migrants. In a world of freely circulating information and fake news, placing great value on reliability and transparency is the only possibility for the public to be able to build itself an opinion that is based on true facts.
It seems too normative a statement and might be paraphrased directly from its source. Hyejuj (talk) 09:59, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
“Anger at…”
[edit]“Anger at…” is oddly non-encyclopedic and vague. Changed to more neutral, specific terms. Starting a talk in case there’s disagreement. Oxenfording (talk) 00:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
