@ Rubang: Thanks for the video

But this surely wasn't intentional. I'm german and I've never heard of that stereotype (and most of my friends neither) so you can be pretty sure the company didn't. Especially considering that germany loves Obama and our society has rapidly changed after the second world war. There are 15 million people with an immigrant background living in germany and a total of 80 million inhabitants, the immigrant group getting bigger and the native population shrinking. Believe me it wasn't intentional.

Oh damn.  Well in that case I guess you guys are just better people than us.  Awesome!

 

Err it wasn't my intention to tell you that we're superior to you which is definitely not true. But that stereotype really isn't that common in germany, that's all. The rest of my post was just to point out to you that the germans are in favour of Obama (which might be a good thing or not) and germany accepted that it is an immigration country (which means it is more open towards different cultures than 20 years ago). I know we're not better people than you guys. Germany is quite americanized actually Of course there are prejudices and stereotypes in germany, not less than in any other country, but the biggest groups of immigrants in germany are from Turkey and Russia so people rather stereotype them.

 

Sorry if I sounded like a jerk in that post
