To be honest, I never have been. But then I guess the majority of suburban middle class folk in the US have never been in a white trash trailer park.
I did have a girlfriend when I was 11/ 12 from a Gastarbeiter family, called Nuran. I don't really see the word Gastarbeiter as having any use nowadays, most of the people either haved gained German citizenship or are more used to German culture than their home culture, especially the second and third generation. Thank god we changed the citizenship laws.
Anyway, back then I still had many illusions and was full of ideals. My idealism has painfully been burnt away by realism since then.
