A former in-law married into a "German-American" family - the parents were young teens in Germany during the war; grew up in Venezuela (hmmm) and then moved to USA in 1950s. The son was born in US; the family spoke German at home. When the former sister-in-law first went to their house in Connecticut in early 1990s, she noticed all of the shampoo, soap, etc, were from Germany. When she asked why, the US born son replied "Because they are superior."
Visit the western national parks and listen for the loudest tourists (adults, not loud kids) - fast alles auf Deutsch.

They grew up in Venezuela. Well, I wonder who their grandfather was.

Germany makes soap and shampoo? If so, why don't they use them? ;-)

I remember in Berlin, watching a German police officer beat a Pole at the 'Polish Flea Market' shortly after the Fall of the Wall, and remember another German police officer say words to the affect: "What does it matter ... he only a Pole...."
