In the US, you can say pretty much anything you want.
The difference is that we've got rednecks... and those rednecks have guns and don't mind killing and/or threatening dark looking people.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but the bottom line is that people who insist on being outsiders in American culture feel our xenophobia/ignorance breathing down on them with force of arms.
In Europe, a FAR more fundamentally racist and hateful place than the United States, they've run themselves dry of the kind of fight necessary to maintain their own civilizations in the face of a 21st century barbarian horde, having destroyed their continent twice in the last 100 years.

PS Oh yeah, and the flip side is that we actually give immigrants a fighting chance to integrate into our society... ahem, France et al.
