They did Tiki torch march a couple weeks after Charlottesville, which am sure is just another unfortunate coincidence. Can happen to anyone!

They did it in Germany, where Charlottesville was likely a 30 second news clip that everyone forgot about.

Stop with the cultural imperialism, race relations in the US are rather unique.

I am in Europe, it was top news for many days.
Even unrelated to Charlottesville torch walks generally have right wing connotations, as it was a traditional show of force by the Nazis. In Germany these days you mostly see them done as right wing rallies. As one data point, here[0] you can see NPD members calling for protest holding torches (during broad daylight).
