The cheap Bavarian-lite "culture" that exists in the USA is just commercialized crass nostalgia, and can hardly be compared to the German high culture. That tends to happen when settlers from one country are forced to adopt the mainstream culture of another. (It's probably the same with the Ukrainian-Canadian beery "culture" that you're no doubt familiar with).
If one looks objectively at the vast accomplishments of Germany, and then at Poland and the Baltics, one can only conclude that the former represents a much greater step forward in human civilization. Philosophy, literature, music, arts, in almost every area. And that's not an insult towards Poles or Balts, but merely an acknowledgement of German excellence.
Indeed, it's beyond absurd when a Muslim Balkanoid, who can hardly be said belong in European civilization, tries to slander the Italians and their culture. I suppose the "frog-eater" slur made a sort of sense, as both France and Italy represent a rich food culture and a high level of decadent Latin sophistication far beyond that of Europe's Rwanda.
