American journalist Sandhya Kambhampati was stopped by police 23 times within her first nine months of living in Berlin. Now she’s investigating racial profiling in Germany — and is looking for others to share experiences.
The first time 24-year-old Sandhya Kambhampati was stopped by an officer in Berlin, she had gone to a park for a morning jog after arriving in the city days before. The officer asked her what she was doing, where she lived, and for her ID. When she told him she only had her keys, he said she should always carry identification and left. […]
Nine months later and she had been stopped and checked by police a total of 23 times — while going to a museum, going to the U-Bahn station, or while out to socialize, being picked out of a group of white friends. […]
Growing up in New Jersey and studying in Ohio, Kambhampati said she had encountered discrimination in the US as well, and similar issues of racism exist in both places. But the different immigration histories of the two countries also seems to have affected how people act today. …

23 times? Is she keeping count? I smell Bull Obama here.
I saw some blatant BS yesterday from the local.de. This looks to be a leftist fake news site.
When you leave this country, you do not take the Constitution with you, dumbass reporter................
Perhaps the perennially aggrieved snowflake class could relocate its whinery overseas during the upcoming Trump years.
What she is about is tearing the US Constitution down, not promoting it.
Dear Sandhya,
Back in the good old days when I was stationed in Germany, and walked down the street of any large town or city, I was photographed by various Russians, Stazi agents, and g-d knows who else at least a dozen times each day. Not feeling sorry for you. Suck it up.
Useless without a picture...does she look like a typical person of interest?
That’s exactly what I was referencing. They called Breitbart an alt-right site.
Leftists are so FOS.
Obviously a mistake.
Journalist?
Firing squad.

Americans who don’t travel abroad will be angered by this story. They should be given a clue that ‘racial profiling’ is done is most of the other countries and no one has a right to not be profiled. Dumbos!
Obviously a mistake.

Police stop people much more often in Europe than in the USA. It is normal. If you look out of place, or for any other reason, they can ask for your papers. It’s what they do.
Gee,racism.
Something new to worry about./s

Oh, puh-leeze. I was constantly profiled as a single woman traveling alone. Get over it, honey.
So in a herd of black angus an albino cow expects not to be noticed?
Good. It means the police are doing their job.
In fact, she looks a lot like 99% of terrorists....(sadly enough).
