I think it is changing slowly. There was an interesting article in the FAZ recently about the movie Fack ju Göhte, which talked about how it dealt with the main character's Turkish background.

Yeah. I know both the UK and Germany well. The difference is in the outspokenness (and the precise groups targeted) rather than the 'quantity' of racism, as if that were even measurable. A better comparison to anglophone racism is German antisemitism. It's still around and pretty virulent in some population groups…

I really hope this comes up as a plot point in The Americans.

Shreddies are delicious!
