The810's statement appears to have been made with somewhat of a very broad brush. As such it triggers disagreement. And, it may be me, but I fail to see the compliment. Care to elaborate?

I suspect Fabo.sk was referring to the fact that I myself come from a very racist nation, which is a valid point Anyway, we're getting into a very OMNI territory here. My point was simply that while one may often experience signs of low-key racism when dealing with Germans, and I sympathise with that, this is definitely not one of those cases, and OP being seated next to non-white people is pure coincidence.

Totally agree with #7 it is simply impossible given the severe limitations of LH IT, which knows no bounds….

LH are certainly Sexist….. i never get adjacent seating to anyone Fit & Drop Dead Gorgeous, just Frumpy & of advancing Age

What do you expect, flying in F? Slum it in Y and your chances improve. Least because suddenly you can have 2 neigbors, not just one

Again, not sexist at all. This is down to pure statistics, anyone who regularly flies Lufthansa will age and generally become miserable much faster. I've just spent a year flying LH Group regularly because of the status, and I found my first gray hair. Coincidence? I think not.

(But yet again it's important to mention that Germans are inherently sexist, 96% of German men only date women!)

Is it possible they are more advanced than we all think and are actually type-matching ;-) ?

Why are we even having this rather ridiculous conversation? The OP, one person seeing a sinister racial connotation with LH’s seat assignments and perhaps with everything else in the World. While the majority would never even have had the thought ..why should you? Especially knowing how bookings are made and the ability to seat-select. (Since when do you have to input your ethnicity.)

LH IT and advanced?

I'd be more inclined to believe Allegris is a class-leading product than that

In my case as I am bored and at the moment cannot be bothered to deal with more important stuff.

It will be class-leading in nickeling and diming its customers for (un-)wanted seat selections.

Well, seating someone next to the exact opposite of who they want to be seated next to sounds exactly like something LH IT would do

I tend to agree with the OP. On all of my last 17 LH segments i was seated together with white caucasian descent people. Pure racism....thinking of taking LH to court for that. What do you think would be an appr. compensation?

One year of complimentary downgrades to economy so you don't need to taste Heimat.
