All Austrians are Nazis

It's a common type of American joke.


"You're French? You must like baguettes, cheese, wine, and surrender."


"You're Italian? You must be angry and eat lots of pasta."


Most Americans don't know Austria exists. We never learn anything about it in school. I think I was actually surprised when I learned as an adult that Austria was a country. I was like "wtf, how come this country literally never comes up in the news or history books?"
Did you never once take it upon yourself to look at geography book or anything as a child? You really only learned Austria was a country when you were an adult? :messenger_neutral:

Originally, the stadium was named after bodybuilder, actor and former governor of the U.S. state of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born near Graz. It was built from 2000 to early 2001 and is owned by Stadion Liebenau Betriebs GmbH. It opened with the game Grazer AK vs. SK Sturm Graz on 9 July 1997 (0:4). In December 2005, when Schwarzenegger did not stop the execution of Stanley Tookie Williams, an intense discussion in his hometown began about what to do with the stadium that bore his name. After some days, Schwarzenegger revoked the city of Graz's right to the use of his name, ending the debate.[3] On the night of 26 December 2005 the name was removed from the stadium.[4] The remaining part Stadion Graz-Liebenau was removed on 17 February 2006 and on 18 February 2006 the stadium was renamed to UPC-Arena. In March 2016 the Austrian insurance company Merkur Versicherung secured the rights to bear a name and the stadium was renamed to Merkur-Arena.

I might have occasionally looked at one, but you aren't going to learn anything like that. I take that back, the one thing I did learn from looking at a huge globe was that there was a country in Africa called Niger.

We can do better than that.
