Doesn’t Germany have the strongest anti-racism laws in the world since the end of Nazi Germany?

Possibly, but not by a large margin compared to other European countries

And also the country accepting the most immigrants during the refugee crisis (and among the top counting per capita I think)?

Not by a long shot, Turkey took in 3.7 million Syrians, Germany 788k, and both countries have ballpark the same population.

Not by a long shot [...]

Right, I concede. The neighboring countries did accept way more. Germany is still accepted significantly more than the vast majority of countries (though it bears mention that Germany is also quite a massive country, for example Sweden's number of refugees seem small in comparison but is fairly close in refugees per capita).
