"I think what's more offensive is the fact that everybody's assuming he's a Nazi just because he's German."

Nobody said that he would be Nazi. I'm more offended by you stating that we would make him a Nazi, because the Berlin Wall is from a time where East Germany (also known as GDR) existed, which has nothing to do with WW2. Heck, it's the complete opposite because it was governed by the USSR. Why I assume that you have put them together?

"Again, there aren't meant to be any Nazi connotations. It's never what I intended nor even imagined, as my family history contains holocaust victims and I would not disrespect them like that."

What is supposed to be a defensive act actually disrespected the Holocaust victims, because the Holocaust has nothing to do with the Cold War (there's still the Burlin Wall, which is extremely close to the Berlin Wall). That and, at the same time, you disrespect the many victims of the East German regime who wanted to escape to West Germany and died at the hand of GDR-Soldiers who were on watch.

Maybe you have Holocaust victims in your family history. But if you have, you would do way better than that, because you assume that some people would view him as a Nazi even if they just pointed out that he is pretty close to a german stereotype. About a champion with a theme that has not much to do with the Third Reich, more with the german East/West-conflict. For that, you should be ashamed. That and for this fine quote:

"The problem is that everyone is so politically correct nowadays, even the regular German flag is now taken as some sort of Nazi character."

Because putting the German flag together with Nazism is the exact opposite of "being politically correct". Your comments are way more offensive than Burlin (especially his old version).
