Yes, as a blonde haired blue eyed American, I've experienced racism
while living in Germany. Though I spoke good German, my accent
betrayed the fact that was an "auslander" and when calling for
apartments for rent I was either told the apartment was "already gone"
or more simply "sorry, we don't rent to foreigners/Americans et al".

As a half Indian British guy who doesn't speak German, I had no
problem at all renting an apartment in Germany!
