Doesn’t Germany have the strongest anti-racism laws in the world since the end of Nazi Germany? And also the country accepting the most immigrants during the refugee crisis (and among the top counting per capita I think)?

among the top counting per capita

That’s Pakistan if I remember correctly.

I visited Germany recently, and I did notice more racism than I’ve seen at home. There were some distant relatives of mine, who I’ve never met before, casually making racist jokes to each other, without attempting to hide it.
