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.

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.
