It's a silly comparison to make for a number of reasons:

a) As stated it's a German company making a joke about Germans. It's the same stuff Molson Canadian gets away.

b) German isn't a race or an ethnicity.

c) German stereotypes, as far as I know, haven't been used historically as a basis for discrimination and mistreatment. The same cannot be said for Asians in Canada.
