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)?
That's Pakistan if I remember correctly.
All the rich countries are far away.
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.
and your distant relatives are representative of the rest of the country
Not at all, but I was told by someone that it was the case in certain rural parts of the country. I'm not saying I know what I'm talking about, it's just my personal experience when I was there.
Possibly, but not by a large margin compared to other European countries
Not by a long shot, Turkey took in 3.7 million Syrians, Germany 788k, and both countries have ballpark the same population.
Right, I concede. The neighboring countries did accept way more. Germany is still accepted significantly more than the vast majority of countries (though it bears mention that Germany is also quite a massive country, for example Sweden's number of refugees seem small in comparison but is fairly close in refugees per capita).
