It’s more that for me Lucy seems German, more German than myself.
And she especially pointed out the name thing.

No one ever thinks I’m German. People also don’t think that I’m Polish. They think I’m from Croatia. I’m not at all. ( ok my dna analysis said I’m 8% from there) Now I’m married and have a German/neutral last name but I used have a name people couldn’t pronounce.
My mother just recently told the story when we came to Germany and were looking for an apartment and people refused to rent to people like us so she took out German aunt with her who did the talking.
And our last name didn’t help at all.

And racists normally love Germans. They did it first.
( ok this is not true but they really put their mark on racism)
