Germany is no stranger to slave labor and didn’t abolish it until much later than the US did (1945). And not by choice either. The US has never had genocide on the industrial scale of what Germany has done in the 20th century. Slave labor today doesn’t seem to be an issue for Merkel either, as evidenced by recent trade deals.

Germans playing the moral superiority card is humorous to me.

You missed my point entirely. I never compared past atrocities as it is unfair to the current generation. What I compare is the current state of affairs.

Germany today is giving shelter and free healthcare to refugees but apparently not CEO positions.

The US is gunning down blacks and forcefully taking children of refugees away from their parents but some immigrants became CEO of large companies which apparently makes the US more immigration-friendly and less racist than Germany.

US is doing no such things and Germans are far more racist than Americans it’s not even close.
