'Get out of Mallorca' on gates in Santanyí: What happens when hate becomes the language of the street?

Answer

Can criticism of tourism in Mallorca be expressed without becoming xenophobic?

Yes. Complaints about housing pressure, overcrowding or local politics can be legitimate, but they should never be directed at people because of their nationality. In Mallorca, the line is crossed when frustration turns into exclusion or threats aimed at Germans or any other group.
