if a 15 year old jew (obviously not alive during holocaust times - but even then....) that was born and raised in austria and had a pretty thick accent that sounded very close to german, moved to canada and was mistaken for a german (called german in a completely non-derogatory context), do you think he has the right to flip out and bitch and moan about how ignorant and insensitive you are?
