Of course it is a form of racism. To not call it that would be dreaming.
i.e. if you have a resume in Germany, you attach a picture, name religion, family etc.
Thus you clearly provide much more private information then you would do in the US.
Whilst the politicians are all over the map when it comes to integration, the people are simply not (for the most part).
That's just the simple truth and what a migrant/immigrant has to deal with.
Again, I don't want to judge whether this "protection" of national identity is good or bad - I am merely stating the obvious and difference.
