@Balistare You're right, this is obviously not what Nietzsche had in mind. Nietzsche was also anti-nationalistic, but they chose to simply ignore that. It's just that many people will probably not know much about him, while almost everyone knows about the Nazis. It's sad, but I think also somewhat understandable that someone would assume a racist background if that's the only context they know that word from (especially since it's a loanword).
