Outrage after AfD scorn mixed-race girl playing 'Christ Child' [View all]

BBC

The mayor of Nuremberg in Germany has attacked a far-right party for "openly racist" comments about a teenage girl picked to be a Christmas gift-bringer.

A member of Alternative for Germany (AfD) attacked Benigna Munsi, who will open the city's Christmas market.

The teen was born in Nuremberg to an Indian father and a German mother.

"You would laugh about it if you didn't know these guys are serious, but you could cry about this level of hostility," Mayor Ulrich Maly said.
