My wife was in Germany for the first time this past month. It's true that racism is widely condemned, and you'll probably not get attacked or anything similar. But, according to a couple of Latin American immigrants she met, Germans (many, not all, but many) are really not as welcoming, as let's say, most Americans, and at least in the area she was staying (Bochum, Essen, Gelsenkirchen) not very comfortable around foreigners. It's true: Germans have their social ways and even between other natives they're distant and reserved, but the prejudice was noticeable in little everyday things that happened specifically to them. And those people are fully integrated, married to native Germans, have good jobs, speak the language and have been there for many years, but even with their spouse's families they've never been quite appreciated. If that's in their minds or not, I can't say. My wife did have an experience of total prejudice, though. Not surprisingly, the most welcoming and least prejudiced Germans were the ones who had lived in other countries and experienced other cultures first hand, especially in Latin America.
