Yes that is true but IMO the German form of "racism" is held by a greater portion of the population than "hate" is held by people in the USA.
Plus legal protections and greater numbers mean that the practical effects of that "hate" in the USA are more limited. I can spend weeks in the USA (DC area) and not encounter a racist for more than a few minutes. Try living life in Germany doing that. Due partially to numbers but also to all pervasive attitudes you cannot escape it. What do people say in Germany - "In jeder Deutsche steckt ein Nazi". That statement has gained renown for a reason.
In Germany it is almost unheard of for a black man to be the man in charge. It is broadly accepted that blacks have next to nothing - mostly looking for help. And if you fall outside of that in terms of behaviour, action or attitude, then they will assume that you are American because local blacks "know their place" or alternatively "have been put in their place".
And then you have the rudeness and in-your -face line-stepping that they do with people that they think are "inferior".
A few people protesting outside of an embassy in Berlin doesn't change any of that.
Positive discrimination in employment (for brehs) in Germany is practically unheard of. Even fair and equal treatment is not properly monitored and properly enforced.
So yeah I broadly agree, but I think a lot of brehs who don't have much experience of Germany don't really understand just how backward Germany is when it comes to issues related to racism.
Remember: Schwarz auf Weiss - Wallraff or Deutschland schafft sich ab.

America is fukking done. Whole world hitting us with the
That's how you got the civil rights bills. You can't claim to be America and having the government be this stupid for all the world to see. You better demand those reparations now.

Armed forces for the most part.
I always assumed Germany was racist and boring af... they said otherwise.
I don’t know everyone’s story but I’m sure not everyone in Germany is a racist nazi... A lot of different races were marching today for black people.
We can't accept any support from any people in any country til they have a black president, like they wont busting our ass while the house nikka supreme was in charge.

Army life is living in a bubble. I used to hang around with Army guys back in the days. One night one of them even asked if the bank cashpoints in Germany dispensed US dollars. Everyday life is different because then you get exposed to the normal everyday Germans. Plus US army life is mostly in the south - which is the more international part of Germany (although Bav is very conservative).
For some Army brehs Germany makes sense (PAWGers, low/no qualifications, tired of US violence, cheaper studies) but even some of that is changing. Germany is further right in 2020 than it was back in the day. It started to change post 2008 and that further accelerated in 2016 / 2017.
A German investigative reporter put on black make-up and travelled through Germany with a hidden camera. Yeah he doesn't look like your average US breh but what should be striking to any anglo viewer is just how normalized (and assumed commonly held) racist attitudes are.
