    I lived in Austria for a year and they were ridiculously racist and xenophobic, it was awful. It went way beyond normal cultural staring. I lived in a smallish town though, could be better in larger cities I suppose.

      I think its more, racists stare everywhere you go but in most places I think shame makes them look away when you catch them staring, whereas in Austria they're less primed to have that shame reaction. My impression of Vienna is that it is not an especially racist European capital but Austria as a whole is very xenophobic.
