Political correctness beats popular opinion yet again. So no surprises here.

And meanwhile, France still has a blatantly racist anthem...
What's so racist about it?

Feeding the soil with the unpure blood of the enemy perhaps?
Again, what has this to do with race?

Impure blood is not the same thing as a different race. Accusations of racism are very silly here as all opponents of France where white themselves.

So, since Jews and Slavs were white, Hitler and the Nazis were not racist?
No, but Hitler thought they were. This is not the case here.

No, but Hitler thought they were. This is not the case here.

Thought they were what? Black? Wanting to slaughter people from other countries because they're less pure is hard not to view as racist, imo. It's not the most racist thing imaginable, but it's still a bit behind the times.
Non-Aryan. Hitler doesn't seem to have viewed the races in the usual colour framework.
And they didn't want to kill the foreigners for having impure blood, but because they were invading France and trying to restore the old regime

The Austrian anthem is slightly less unpopular/derided than I have been led to believe, according to that poll.

Meanwhile, here in Germany we should just sing the second verse instead of the third one if we want to celebrate our womenfolk. Grin
The song I certainly agree with, the loyalty is a bit iffy, but the less said about the wine, the better. So putting women among these things is kind of a mixed blessing Wink
