Well, every colonial governor brings a piece of Africa/Asia back home with him when their time is over.
I just wrote that in English just in case anyone doesn't know any German. Besides, nobody else calls New Caledonia 'Nouvelle Caledonie' except the French.
In every colony, there's always a hierarchy with the Europeans at the top. Sure, the Africans can rise up the ranks to become good officers and civil servants but not governors of any province unless they're a tribal chief.
Such policies would be mainstream at the time. The German government would probably think the Africans are lucky they are getting any schools or services, which is likely only because of the success of Letto-Vorbeck's Askari troops
Privileges from the colonial authorities for Askari soldiers... and considering most natives at the time were subsistence farmers in abject poverty, anything is better than nothing

I am really curious to see how Germany is changing the culture of places like Vietnam?
Would Vietnamese people come to enjoy things like sausage and beer? Would Malagasy people develop their own Oktoberfests?

The Vietnamese will Be confused at first
The French divide and rule principe is replace by Germans bureaucracy and language
Follow by terminated the french Catholicism conversion efforts by Protestant Germans
and Radical cleanup by Germany Military and colonial Police forces on abuses by French including expulsion of Colonial French !
But it will not perfect for Vietnamese
First they have learn now understands German
Next to that will be German authorities not very kind to locals, but it will be better what the french dit.
I don't know if Vietnamese gona like sausage and beer
but the German will find Vietnamese cuisine tasty !
I think Vietnamese cuisine would be a mixture of local, French, and German ingredients. Imagine a meal which consists of rice, noodles, bread, and pretzels. In terms of drinks, I think the locals would get used to Bavarian beer.
You know 1/3rd of the German population is catholic, right? They'll most likely let them continue their missionary work.
The Germans would also assure the colonial French that everything would be fine.
Well as a German i'll say the piss (wheat beer e.g.) coming out of bavaria can hardly be considered beer...

Well there are some nice Keller and Rauch beers coming out of Bavaria even though the local population will be adamant that they are Frankonians...
but the best beer is always a matter of taste so no objective decision can be made
especially considering the fat that no one has tasted all German beers.

It is sold mostly in the UK and Ireland and is widely regarded as a cheap and very nasty beer.
