I'm sorry but I don't understand the pun. Perhaps Germans in a Trabi (Osssi ?), BMW (Bavaria) or a Mercedes would be stereotypical, but this one?Xx236 (talk) 08:21, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for using my picture. But the depicted motorcycle rider is Diederik Nossent, a Dutch citizen. And therefore this pic is unsuitable to illustrate stereotypes of Germans, I fear... With kind regards from Germany --J.-H. Janßen (talk) 20:19, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The part about german citizens and their relationship to their nation and patriotism has nothing to do with stereotypes. So I have removed the following text:
"After the German reunification in 1990, the fear of nationalistic misuse of Pan-Germanism nevertheless remained strong. The overwhelming majority of Germans today are not chauvinistic in nationalism, but in 2006 and again in 2010, the German National Football Team won third place in the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups, igniting a positive sense of German pride, enhanced by success in sport. For decades after the Second World War, any national symbol or expression was a taboo.[1] However, Germans are becoming increasingly patriotic.[1][2][3]" Nsae Comp (talk) 12:14, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would ask for someone speciallized on stereotypes to go over thid article. It is still very biased and does not start from a well based critical view on stereotypes. Nsae Comp (talk) 12:30, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
