    T Y: "excuses like "racists are everywhere" or "it's not worse than UK, France, etc," are getting just too lame."

    i totally agree with you about this. i don't like the excuses that some germans make about racism either but i do appreciate the progress they have made.
    you can see intercultural couples here and there - if all germans were racist, then that wouldn't be acceptable let alone possible :)

    to continue your argument about the npd - they are just a small part of the problem!
    the current government coalition is just as bad. didn't thilo sarrazin write that infamous book about integration and say something incredibly ignorant about the turkish and apparently 80% of the german population agreed with the book?! (someone needs to confirm that. i only heard it from someone else).

    in case you're not familiar with sarrazin... he wrote a book on integration, which destroyed his political career because he wrote something along the lines that the turkish nation are genetically inferior (to put it diplomatically). i expect his next book will be about the aryan race.

    i don't think the entire federal government consists of racists but i find it hard to believe that he was the only one. there's no way his political career would have survived for so long and politicians are lobbyists so... yeah... that might explain why germany doesn't feel so international compared to the US or UK.

    i don't see germany's integration problems disappearing in the next 25 years so this topic is going to stay open for a long time xD

    in conclusion...
    there are racists everywhere in every country but there are way more racists in germanic speaking countries due to political influences.
