How Do Most Germans Treat East/Southeast Asians?

Generally, there is no racism in Germany. Yes, we have some people here who are racist, and a handful of organized neo-nazis; but I think that's a problem every nation has. On the other hand, when you come as a tourist, you're not likely to meet such people; and when I read about racist incidents, there's hardly ever an Asian involved.

btw, what "old days" are you talking about? I can't remember a specific German-Asian incident that could cause racism. All I can remember is the contrary: Germans were among the biggest protesters against the Vietnam war.

edit:
The Nazi era? -- Hell, Japan and Germany were ALLIES.
And, as I wrote, neo-nazism is not a big problem. Their racism is more against blacks, and still more so, Turks, who are not only the largest group of immigrants here, but also - would you believe it? - MUSLIMS.
Attacks on foreigners by neo-nazis are rare (but always make for a good headline, especially in Germany, considering our nazi past), but when you have a closer look at the news: It always happens among young people, the "neo-nazis" are a crowd of at least four or five, and mostly there's alcohol involved. -- Well, things like that happen among Germans every weekend; but nobody writes about it.

Hard question. Racism is not the right word. We have some prejudices, but not bad prejudices. Like asians do smile a lot and work hard. I know only three asian people well and as much as I know these prejudices are right. Well.... they do not smile that much but they are all very friendly personalities.
We also think asians are small but on the other hand... nobody of my family is smaller than 1,70m (the women) and so once again this prejudice suits.

As much as I can say there are no negative feelings towards asians. Hate between chinese and japanese people is much bigger. I know this because I worked once for a very famous bavarian restaurant (HofbrÃ¤uhaus) and there a golden rule exists: put those two groups never on a table together or in a direction so they would have to look at each other.So maybe racism between these groups is much bigger than anything you can find in germany.

edit:to the one above me:
the neo nazis will be a big problem as you can read in my answer
we think asians can be very wisely but it seems most are just blinded and believe in crap
their food is delicous,no doupt

The germans have completely changed
the current germans have nothing to do with nazis
exceptions proof the norm
yes there are neo-nazis but noone listens to their crap
we cant just put all in prisons
saying nazi slogans is forbidden and will be immidiatly punished if reported and enough witnesses are given
nazi symbols such as flags,emblems,uniforms,and complimentary close will be punished too
but some come away with it cause of too less witnesses and reports
meetings,assemblages are allowed for everyone but if criminal acts will happen the police is allowed to disband the meetings,assemblages or if restrictions are violated
comming meetings,assemblages can be forbidden if there are signs that violations against he public and public order will happen

there is a right wing fraction in germany
their votes increase in some areas but they wont again reach total power.cooperations with them are mostly avoided but the other fractions just cant ignore them as they represent some of the population but their power is around null

one thing scares alot of us
some neo nazis are members of the second army(the one used if needed)
they cant be just booted cause of the law
plus at first noone knew their attitude

these neo nazis with military knowledgement and skills and equipment are training other neo nazis for example in using sniper,fighting techniques,aiming,behavior in war,tactics
it is possible that these groups will increase and that they go into war

that might give you an overview of the current situation in germany
