Thanks, this is helpful. I don't know if it's that I'm not thinking about it right, or if the person who mentioned it didn't present it helpfully, because to me, someone responding that Germany's problems come from immigrants is a racist attitude whether or not the question is posed by an actor dressed as Hitler, people's willingness to Sieg-heil as a joke is racist even if they're just doing it with their friends, and it's not really about the response to the costume per se.
