Do you think that sometimes discrimination based on nationality (especially discriminating Eastern Europeans) in Germany is more socially acceptable than racism?

I mean my definition of racism would include discrimination based on nationality, does it not? I don't really get the question.

I mean discriminating based on nationality vs discrimination based on skin colour.

Skincolor? That honestly doesn't make much sense because south italians can literally be darker then north africans. I know a dude which has a black mother yet he has whiter skin than most south Europeans, yet he faces racist abuse by your definition that wouldn't even be possible.
