Makes me wonder whether Americans really have that big of a problem with racism (relative to other countries), or whether they just talk more about it than others.

Btw, if you're interested in what it's like being black in Germany you should check out http://schwarzrotgold.tv/en/ . It's a series of interviews with black Germans, with English subtitles. The front page video is an interview with a mixed guy who as a child worked in an ethnic circus/display of a sort and in his youth was actually kicked out of the Hitlerjugend for being black. He's really thought a lot about this. Extremely fascinating. Tried submitting to HN, but no traction.
