This is not just a German Refugee Problem, but the general xenophobic sentiment. An example.

Foreignpolicy.com has an article about refugees in Germany, the arson attacks and widespread discontent in the country.

Germany Has a Refugee Problem, and the Problem Is the Germans

Anti-immigrant sentiment is fueling violence and arson. What's the matter with Deutschland?
. . . . . . . .

However, this is just touching the surface. German xenophobia runs much deeper and is deeply ingrained in German society throughout.

A couple of weeks ago a teacher of a school in Munich told a young Turkish woman who attends school to gain her high school degree and who had voiced her interest in becoming a teacher, that this might not be a good idea as she often wears a head scarf. It would be very difficult for her to get accepted, he said. She is living with her parents in Germany legally since years.

He is a pretty outspoken teacher and he was not speaking in racist terms but just telling her about the general sentiment in Germany and certainly in deeply conservative Bavaria.
