Dieter Nuhr brings the German bestselling author in connection with the USA and the hype surrounding Donald Trump - he falls into a racism trap.

Berlin - In his

ARD

* show

"

Nuhr im Ersten

", the

cabaret artist Dieter Nuhr

leaned far out of the window again.

He made a mistake that is now being ridiculed online.

But even without this mistake, it is clear to some of Nuhr's prominent critics: Nuhr is "not at a loss for any excuse for racism."

In his show, Nuhr had a book by

Alice Haster shown

.

The title of the book: "What whites don't want to hear about racism."

Nuhr

says

that the title alone was too racist for him.

Because the author would automatically assume a certain attitude to people of one skin color.

And then he goes one better: Your actions are evidence of a “pseudo-intellectuality” of an “arrogant left”.

And then he also says: This species is partly responsible for people like

Donald Trump

* being able to be

successful.

Dieter Nuhr on German author: Your book was a "big hit" in the USA and contributed to the election of Trump

Part of his allegation is a statement that

Nuhr

and his team have probably not checked: He says the book was a "big hit" in the US for weeks.

There is currently a discussion about the fact that whites are automatically racists.

He apparently wanted to see this as evidence that whites would then have no choice but

to vote

for

Donald Trump

.

Alone:

Alice Hasters

is a German author.

And her book was never published in the

United States

.

The stair joke: By automatically classifying her as an American - probably because of her appearance and her name - Nuhr fell into the racism trap himself.

Did you already know that my book was a "big hit" in the USA?

But what about his accusation that whites are being attacked across the board with the title?

ZDF

* moderator Dunja Hayali

replies

: “No, Mr.

#Nuhr

.

"The woman", who has a name, does not claim that flatly. "And she plays back the accusation:" But those who (...) are not at a loss for excuses for their own racism like to say that. "

No Mr. #Nuhr.


"The woman" who has a name (@alicehasters)


does not claim that so flatly.



But that is what


those who

claim

that their own form of “pseudo-intellectuality” can hardly be surpassed in terms of “arrogance” and are not at a loss for an excuse for their own racism https://t.co/QpRjSzhQYu

According to the blurb, the author is concerned with seemingly simple questions that white people would ask her.

Questions like: "May I touch your hair?", "Can you get sunburn?", "Where are you from?"

In the book, she conveys her own perspective and tells what constant exclusion feels like.

Because exclusion works in a very subtle way, whites are often unwilling to hear their arguments.

With his further statement on Facebook, he proves that he should not read Alice Hasters' book, but also learn it by heart.

Nuhr himself later said on Facebook that he wanted to say “books like this” are currently

a big hit

in the

USA

.

But he didn't go into the contents of the book with a single word - he just repeated his reproach against the title.
