Yeah, the thing with Germans and national identity is... complicated. For obvious reasons. Nazi reasons. I'm from someplace else and grew up in Germany and still get freaked out by any displays of patriotism/national pride/nationality because it was very much not the done thing in Germany.

Except during the world cup. *snorts*

But yeah, I think people who claim German culture and then don't even know whether they're of Friesian or Bavarian descent are fucking hilarious.

(anon you replied to)
When Germany hosted the world cup in 2006 there were serious debates on the extent to which displays of national pride were appropriate, but they seem to have relaxed a little since then.
And yeah, people claiming German heritage. I've only lived around the south and the people there were never German, not even Bavarian (how very dare you), but Upper-Franconian, not to be confused with the protestant bastards of Middle-Franconia. And Germany wasn't even a country until 1872, which I suspect was after most American families who call themselves German emigrated.

Yes, I remember the uproar it caused when Köhler said he loved Germany - he didn't even say it was awesome, just that he liked it! German national identity isn't very good at doing anything except denying itself and cheering on football.
