That would have been created by a unionist, of course, who by definition has to be at least pretty stupid.

In Germany, even after the Nazi horror, eligibility to be recognized as German still hinges on ethnicity (apart, of course, from naturalization). We had an influx of thousands of descendants of German settlers of Eastern Europe after the War, and even more so, after the collapse of th Warsaw Pact: Baltic Germans, Volga Germans (often deported to Siberia), Hungarian Germans, Bannat Suebians, Transylvanian ("Siebenbürgen") Germans, etc. There was a joke in the 90s, when many Russian citizens with a remote German ancestry but a thoroughly Russian cultural upbringing emigrated to Germany as "Spätaussiedler" (late emigrants), that you qualified for German citizenship if one of your ancestors had owned a German shepherd.
