Well my grandmother hates Russians and thinks they are still out to get her. My Granddad believed the Jews ran the world and used the "stupid" black people to do so.
Weirdly enought my english granddad isn`t much better, especialy asian people are a subject of disgust for him.
I guess the US is far more progressive on that issue than most of europe.
It`s hard to get into a pub in certain parts of germany if you have dark skincolor. Especialy in the east.
Defining racism is hard when not confronted with examples on which one can say what is and what is not.
And although this is 1 hour long and has 3 parts which all last for one hour, I advise you to watch this documentary which gives a pritty good insight and understanding of the matter:
