I used to live in Ireland for many, many years, but I’m mostly German.
I always have to laugh about German stereotypes in tv shows or movies, though. Two that immediately come to mind are Family Guy’s Road to Europe and Road to Germany. I enjoy that sort of humour, and I can take a lot of jokes regarding my heritage.
But yes, that TNG episode was just daft and racist.

My best friend (from Cork, Ireland) hates that episode with a passion.
It’s a terrible/racist episode, so that’s fair.
