I don't get it though. Who are the little karate guys in the middle supposed to be? The little Nazi people don't seem to like them, so they push em around a bit, but then at the end they get their Swastika flag over the Karate guys, so everybody hugs and cheers. But why the Karate uniforms?
Why should Mexicans have to bother with any of the same nonsensical sensitivities of Canadians and liberal Americans? This is their business and not ours.

This post may come back to bite you. You might want to think about this post the next time you interfere with another sovereign nations election....Food for thought for all Americans when it comes to their foreign policies and attitudes abroad.
And let's not forget that Chretien endorsed Al Gore in the 2000 elections and then was all so shocked and surprised when George Bush ignored him until he left office.
When the Liberals sent people into Ohio in the 2004 elections was what eventually piqued my interest in Canada and led me to CKA. I've since returned the favor by supporting Conservative campaigns for Parliament and enjoying the fact that I don't have to report one. damn. thing. to Canadian regulators.
Pandora's Box is now opened and mucking around in everyone's business is simply a fact of life in the new world.
And the Mexicans still don't have to give a sh*t about our sensitivities on the Nazis.
Funny, I know the pastor who took over the Christian school where the Nazi parade happened in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This was, of course, after the previous administration and faculty were purged in the aftermath of the Nazi episode.

Is it only Canadians and liberal Americans who are sensitive about Nazi stuff? And is it non-nonsensical to be so?

Worse now than it was after World War Two when there were still a lot of actual Nazis around. Apparently the belief today is that even the sight of a swastika will get everyone to goosesteppin' and smashing jewelry store windows. I can see the Germans being concerned about inside their own country this but for everyone everywhere else to act like such pussies about it is pretty ridiculous.
I would have to agree that there's no need to be banning symbols or books here, I just dispute the contention that only Canadians and Liberal Americans would find this problematic. I also don't think it's necessarily nonsensical. I'm pretty sure that if this happened at a cheer competition in any country that was actively involved in WW2 it would be a big deal.
I could see it being done for laughs in a comedy nightclub even a decade ago but the way political correctness is so runaway and out of control nowadays it would never be allowed to happen today.
If you're gonna worry about today's special brand of political correctness I'd expect you'd get in more trouble for saying or doing something anti-islamic than something anti-semitic.

No. Not at all.
I used to feel exactly the same way you did.
Anymore it's hard to argue that one country can't have a valid national interest in who is running another country.
For instance, one of the most effective ways for me to advance my gun rights is to make sure that gun-banning globalist progressives don't get elected to Parliament in the UK or Canada.
Many pro-gun rights folks in the USA feel the same way and have acted accordingly over the past ten years and the results speak for themselves.
I'm not criticizing so much as pointing out that this is simply how nations behave anymore. Including yours.
Say what you will about the practice, it beats the hell out of assassinations and wars as a means of influencing policy.
Hmmm. I'd just visit the local highschool and note all the Native kids with their shorts dragging on the ground, six inches of gaunch and their ass-cracks showing and think TV was good enough influence...
