German AfD Leader Alice Weidel on Skin Colour, Immigration, and Same-Sex Families: Interviewer: During the campaign, you had your wife with you; she was born in Sri Lanka. Is something like this ever discussed at home, since it is, after all, a central issue here? Alice Weidel: This is not about skin colour. And my wife, as you have once again done, is being labelled as having a migration background. My wife is Swiss and was adopted, and accordingly she does not see herself as having a migration background. Those are completely different things.
