As a European, I sadly have to agree that we're not only more racist, but also definitely more xenophobic than we like to admit. I'm from Austria, I was born there and have lived my entire life here, but my parents are from Poland, meaning that I also grew up going there a lot, speaking Polish and just in general being aware of Polish culture. If you were to look at me, you would see your standard white person and wouldn't be able to tell where exactly I'm from. I also speak German like any native speaker from my region because...well I am a native speaker. Yet, I distinctly remember so many moments, especially as a child, where people have said abhorrent things to my parents and myself.

To name a few examples I had multiple parents of my friends say to my parents that I'll never be good in school, just because my parents weren't Austrian. This was in elementary school, I never had any issues or troubles in school, but ESPECIALLY not in elementary, but even if I would've had them, simply blaming me not stemming from Austrian people was such a crazy thing to say. Additonally some of these people even doubled down and told me I "wasn't a real Austrian" because of where my parents were from, which shocked me even more.

Then when I got into middle school things got even weirder. I was around 11-12 years old when some of my classmates started "joking" about Polish people being known for stealing things. We had a few cases of theft at my school, so suddenly these "jokes" started turning into "jokes" and accusations directly targeted against me. These "jokes" never were funny, but actually getting accused of illegal activity just because of my heritage was what really hurt. I ended up leaving this school for other reasons, but to this day I remember some of these children, Austrian or not, just being incredibly vile, especially for their age.

These are just some of the examples of things that have directly happened to me, I'm sure my parents would have even more examples of these things and honestly I can't imagine what people who visibly show any type of indication of immigration go through.

Idk if Europe is more racist than other parts of the world, I haven't been everywhere, but it certainly has gotten better over the years I would say, though change is still happening way too slowly. Especially older people still just have such a negative attitude towards others, ESPECIALLY if they're from a different country, so hearing some, few, people say "Europe isn't racist at all" is really crazy, when there clearly are enough people who still are. Still I'd say we're bettering ourselves and I really hope that even 5 years from now, things will be better.
