Are you white? Because if you are this is not a case of racism. Maybe prejudice against Germans from that person specifically (since its not a widespread thing in society), but not racism.

wow seriously stop being an ignorant idiot. Of course that's racism and just because he's white doesn't mean he can't experience it
Granted, but it's important to know that Jews were often targeted (particularly in 20th century Europe) because they were seen as racially inferior to Aryans.
When I studied abroad in Milan last semester everyone kept asking me if I was a rapper and what basketball team I play for. I'm 5'6 and I don't even listen to rap really
If you think racism against white people exists you're just stupid
POC don't have equal opportunities and are murdered just for being their race, meanwhile you're sitting here whining because someone called you out on your ignorance or hurt your wittle feelings by calling you a cracker. Poor you, your life sounds so hard.
It does though, as with any other race. Don't be silly.
Seems to me you are only looking at this from a westernized point of view. Anyone can face racism, and you do point out good points, but if you are implying white people can't experience racism than you're wrong. If you bring the situation to an Asian country than White people definitly can face racism.
In Asian countries, in African countries and in Latin America white people will routinely get paid more and receive better treatment, beauty standards also favour white people in those countries (look up the skin lightening industry). That is because European colonialism was, as ATRL would say it, 'global', and it's effects linger to this day.

This happened to me too when I went to Italy. Smh.
people were very racist in düsseldorf when i went there with my classmates with school. very. even when our teacher at the time asked for directions they just straight out ignored her multiple times. only very few acknowledged her and our class. never in my life had i seen anything like this! so disrespectful and discriminating! berlin however was a lot better!
I'm Jewish. Tell me my people have never faced systematic oppression, I dare you.
Today you do not, in fact you are the ones oppressing others (Palestinian genocide, widespread racism in Jewish-controlled Hollywood). And a few decades ago Jewish people were not considered white.
Funny how it's always other whites doing the oppression, whether it be English or Germans.
"Always white people"... that is an offensive thing to say. Wasn't the first slave owner in America a black man?
"By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone."

What an utterly disgusting thing to do, trying to whitewash history to make it seem like black people were the ones benefitting from slavery in the States, as if whites weren't the ones behind the slave trade who also colonized most of the world.
racism is prejudice + POWER. It's institutional and systematic. it goes beyond you hating a group of people and goes into keeping said people disadvantaged on a grand scale.
The perception of racism by many people is pigeonholed into trivial things like racial slurs. Who gives a **** about racial slurs? It's not racial slurs that effect non white people most, it's discrimination in school, discrimination at work, not hiring someone because of their skin color, racial profiling, segregation, e.t.c
