Many Hollywood movies with a plot that clearly takes place 5 decades after WWII have evil German characters named Fritz and Hans. Racism? You can certainly still experience anti-German sentiments as a 20 year old abroad right now.

I don't mind these movies at all, but there do seem to be double standards.

Die Hard is not the same thing to German Americans as is a rise in violence against Asian Americans [0] or institutional racism against Blacks for their respective groups.

There doesn't seem to be a double standard.
