No, I don't think it's very common on the continent.
To completely drail the topic, in France I had an American friend who had a great shock of red hair and she couldn't take a train on her own without being chatted up. She became almost famous in our (quite sizeable) town as "La rousse".
Anyway another thing about Germany is that you might find they're slightly more casually racist than we are so don't get shocked if someone talks about black people being made of chocolate or something similarly outdated. I think again that this is more the case in the east than the west actually.
