Holy Mother of Moses…Wisconsin plates. As if they need anymore negative attention for authorizing that plate.

I get the message you’re sending with the plate, and it’s clever. However it doesn’t get any more tone deaf than that…

Apparently nobody has a sense of humor anymore huh? It's nothing to do with Nazis, just the term coined for WWII partnership of Germany & Japan (yes, I know, Italy too). It applies to this vehicle quite well, and I've never had anybody react negatively before.

You of all people should know there's no deeper meaning or story to it than that.

History would highly disagree. What kinda Germany do you think was in WW2?

I do know what you where trying to do with the plate, the combo of German + Japanese but I do think it's a bit tone-deaf.

A better plate would be something like Kraut-Sushi :cool:

Kinda shits on the hundreds of thousands of American troops that died in WWII but I actually love our country and our armed forces so I dunno. Maybe I'm sensitive.

Wearing the flag as a thong swimsuit or as a bandana shits on the country as well, but folks do that all the time. If you go by proper flag etiquette. I guess it depends on perspective.

Historically the term does, but the intent has nothing to with Nazis whatsoever. Nothing.

If it still offends you, that's YOUR problem, not mine. The Veterans I work with laughed their asses off when they saw it.

Tone-deaf is entirely subjective, and insensitive to whom exactly? I'm supposed to sit and contemplate how anything I ever say, do, or display could be interpreted by any or every human being? Once again, someone being bothered by it is entirely their choice and based upon their interpretation within their own world. If they don't like it, they may choose to look away and move on with life. End of discussion.

Just in case anyone else is paying attention about what's going on in our own country and other countries around the world its literally making Hitler and the Axis powers look like complete idiot amateurs. If anyone is gonna get offended about something then get offended about what's going on right under our noses rather then some dudes plate.
On another note I do get some pretty good entertainment on these forums some days and it's interesting to see all the different custom plates people have.

I feel ya, bro. It's funny how people are these days - "If you don't like it then leave!" followed up the next day with "That offends me. Someone make it stop."

You can do what you want to a certain extent and I can voice what I want to a certain extent. I will also voice that "It's not my problem you don't like what I say and do" is the absolute worst attitude and such a cop-out.

Now that we have both voiced our concerns, we can move on and continue to be car enthusiasts. ;)

Dude, it's a free country (for the time being)...you can put anything back there that you want. Just be ready for the smoke you get...because you're gonna get it.
