Today, I was discussing my family heritage with my girlfriend's parents. The moment I told them that I came from a German background, her seven-year-old brother pointed at me and yelled, "HITLER!" FML

Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML

Today, I excitedly told my family that, after years of studying and dedication, I've been awarded a full scholarship to Germany. My mom's reaction was to start sobbing about me becoming a "heathen" and my dad and brother started telling Nazi jokes. FML

Today, I watched my mother tell a man that the holocaust was "a good thing" and "necessary for population control". That man was my girlfriend's father. Who is Jewish. FML

Today, I had to explain to half of my class that yes, my birthday is on the same day as Hitler's, but no, it does not make me a Nazi. FML

Today, I finally went to my boyfriend's house to meet his family. When they were giving me a tour of the house, I noticed a Nazi flag on my boyfriend's bedroom door. FML

Today, my daughter is so out of touch with anything not related to her phone and her social popularity that she doesn't know who Hitler was. I had to show her on YouTube, and while we aren't religious anymore, we are a Jewish family so this is an extra level of parental shame for me. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over to my parents' house for dinner. My dad made Holocaust jokes the entire time. My boyfriend is Jewish. FML

Today, there was a new girl in one of my classes. We both corrected a classmate on his grammar, so, trying to make a new friend, I leaned back to her and said, "Haha, fellow Grammar Nazi?" She gave me a disgusted look and told me she was Jewish. FML

Today, my husband thought it would be acceptable to watch Breaking Bad on Netflix with my 4-year-old in the room. What happened to be the only line he picked up? "Well heil Hitler, bitch!" I found out from his preschool teacher. FML

Today, I found out my little brother is a highly committed Nazi. He goes to meetings and everything, my parents think it's great he is "getting out and developing a social life." FML

You should've said "No, sweetie. Hitler was from Austria."

Well, at least your ex didn't call you Nazi because you wouldn't let him set you up with his best friend roughly a week you broke up.

that sucks, and I don't see why people think everyone from Germany must be a nazi, but at least it was an ignorant 7yr old. I'm Dutch, so I'm not even from Germany, but I still get called a Nazi by the self-proclaimed "mature" 16yr olds in my class. I'm the least racist or discriminating out of all of them.

I'm sorry, but reading other's comments I have to add my two cents: Nothing about this is "funny", "cute" or "hilarious" and the child is not "going places" - except maybe to prison for racist hate crimes. It seems harsh, but seriously, I'm fed up of this sort of thing. I remember reading about some English teens going on an exchange trip to their twin city in Germany and greeting the German teenagers with a Nazi salute. They were horrified. This sort of thing is offensive, hurtful, and ignorant - like others have pointed out, Hitler was Austrian, anyway. I'd be embarrassed and pretty ashamed if any of my children did or said anything like this. It's people like that who are being racist, prejudiced, and trapped in the 1940s - they're more like Nazis than the German people they accuse. This is a bit of a sore point for me because my boyfriend is from Germany, haha.

My boyfriend's from Germany, also, and it annoys the hell out of me when someone greets him/us with a Nazi salute. Some people even say "Heil Hitler!" when they hear him speaking German. I doubt they even know what that means. Some of our friends do it, too, because they think it's funny. It's NOT. *Sigh* some people will never grow up.
