I'm in Germany working with an international team of software developers.
About 22,5% of Germans are first to third generation immigrants. Not even the people who don't want more immigrants generally hate immigrants - certainly not you individually. Since there's comparatively little "segregation", with immigrants and non-immigrants having attended the same schools and living in physical proximity, you will be hard-pressed to find people frothing at the mouth at the sight of someone who looks like an immigrant.
One thing that is true however is that Germans will expect you to act German when you're in Germany and you'll be treated like anyone else for better or for worse. There's no "immigrant card" you can play. Complaining about other's behavior - often to their face - is a very German past-time. At least if you fuck up you'll know, because Germans will tell you about it at length. God help you if you screw up the same thing a second time.
