Oh we have quite a bit of racism in Europe too, just go to eastern part. People are not so vocal about it, unless in 'their' circles. Sure, its all mixed together with fear of different religions, xenophobia which I would say is still dominant force, and its targeted way more on black people rather than east asians, but these days its there, even on places that had 0 of it due to literally 0 exposure to other races few decades ago. I personally saw first black person in person as a teenager for example. Big parts of societies are quite radicalized if you care to look closely enough, which many don't and consider Europe some form of uniform hippie paradise. But then you can't escape the reality of ie string of victories of more or less extreme right winders all getting the vote 'to stop immigration'. Whole Brexit was fueled mainly by such xenophobia, it would be insignificant fart in the wind without this. My personal opinion is that before countries like Germany decided to allow unregulated immigration en masse and try to push rest of EU in same direction without asking, serious discussions should have taken place for a long time and explained to common folks why, in what form, for how long, how will it affect them, how will state protect them etc. Instead, at least eastern part went through shock therapy and hence often seen kneejerk reaction of refusing everything.
