I totally get that she feels unwelcome in a small village. I think even Germans from a large city may feel it? I'm from the Netherlands and recently moved from a middle to large city in the Netherlands (here that's about 120K inhabitants) to a village of 2000 inhabitants. People here generally don't speak any English, and are much more conservative in their opinions (i.e. blackface must be black, you outsiders uncomfortable with our 100 years old traditions should just stay away from here), imagine her moving here...

I think there are probably towns in the US where she will feel the same btw. Is it really about Germany as the title suggests? Feels like a generalization.
