"Do Prussians count?"

Ja, der Prussians do count. Zey say eins, zvei, drei, vier, funf, und zen zey line up in der single file und march around.

Is mocking Germans still a socially permissable thing to do?

Probably should've gotten the answer to that question before I did it.

Klee was Swiss (thought wikipedia says "of German nationality"). They speak a version of German in Switzerland, but I don't think they consider themselves "German."

Sigrid Valdis wasn't a German but she played one on TV.

Was actually a native Californian, of Swedish descent.

There's probably a few dozen vintage German punk/hardcore outfits I could mention if I've flipped through my collection.
