Racist? I have to much respect for you to call your statement stupid, so I won't. Germans are the same race as I. We are Caucasion. That is our race. Being German is a Nationality, You'll see that I am also part German. I am not against the Germans. The people who commited these crimes are mostly dead. I am against those companies that used my relatives as slaves to profit and are now multi national conglomerates. Would I buy something from a company that I knew used child labor? No. It is the same difference. It is why I do not drink Coke products. Coca Cola was a Nazi collaborator and helped Hitler make a new soft drink when political pressure in the US forced them to close their German plants and Hitler wanted something for his troops to drink. They called that product Fanta.
I have nothing against the German people. I have a problem with the Nazi, which was political extremism much like what is exhibited here. Different values but the same feverishness. Nazi is not a race either. My grandmother, who was a young adult during WWII and told us many stories recanted by her cousins about the terrible stuff that happened to them. To her, all Germans were Nazis, and perhaps that is true of the Germans of her generation.
Racist....indeed!
