You need a bit of educating.

It's ironic that you accuse me of racism when it's against my own ancestry - I am German! In fact my surname, Pribbernow, is German.

My ancestors emigrated from Germany to the this country at the dawn of the twentieth century, and settled in the state of Wisconsin. My family has a strong and proud German heritage, passed down from generation to generation. For you to accuse me of racist slants against the very culture I was born and raised is not only insulting, it's obtuse.

However, I'm not so much offended by your accusation of racism. That's typical of uneducated people who lash out at what they don't understand. What I find more irritating is your gross ignorance of Germany. Being a person of German descent and culture I can tell you that beer and sausage, however trivial they may seem to you is very much sacred to German cultural heritage.

Of course that's not all there is to Germany, but unless my century old (in America) German family is somehow different from all other Germans, that's what I have come to know and appreciate.

As a point of evidence, notice that I didn't say Bratwurst in my post? I said Wurst, which applies to the multitudes of varieties and types of sausages and meats known as Wursts, such as Knackwurst, Mettwurst , Bockwurst, Kartoffelwurst.

In future I suggust that you educate yourself before making ignorant and slanderous remarks.
