I wonder if that's true and how you would measure it. Germany, like the US, was an alliance of different states. If you read Buddenbrooks, there's lots of ethnic humour about the Bavarians and their strange accents. I don't think Germany had the same level of mass immigration - until the 1920s and 30s, when it led to the anti-semitic backlash.
The more important point is just that the Nazis were explicit, avowed racists, while the US and Britain had a stronger ideology of racial equality and tolerance - though there was still plenty of racism in both those countries.
