Just because there may be more German Schwarzmanns than Jewish Schwarzmanns in Germany (or even eorldwide) does not mean that there are not also enough Jewish Schwarzmanns worldwide for my assumption to be justifiable, especially when my assumption had the added context of race-mixing art on the cover of a book.
That expression is about judging the contents (specifically quality) of a book based on its cover. Despite the expression, all readers judge books by their covers. I'm an author; I'm well aware of this reality. If the subject of the book is not in some way non-Finns breeding with Finns (be it serious or satire) the cover would not be as it is -- thus my basis for assuming content is solid and you are grasping at straws trying to delegitimize the very justifiable association I made.
I've already established that it is. Enough Jews and Germans worldwide hold the name that I am willing to say it is also a Jewish name (and outside of Germany I warrant it is more common among Jews, since more Jews fled Germany than Germany in recent generations).
At no point did I state that Jews and only Jews hold the name Schwarzmann. I've known the word has its roots in the German langusge from the beginning; it's plainly obvious. I simply knew that enough Jews hold the name worldwide for my associations to be justified. You're just reacting in a fluster because you think I'm dragging German name history through the mud or some such nonsense -- sorry to say but if anyone is responsible for the slow death of German culture and history the Germans who keep voting in an anti-German politician are.

You are the one with biases; so desperate to delegitimize one who you assume is a mindless anti-Semite, that you resort to condescending remarks about how I should "keep trying" when I have already demonstrated that my comment (which was a humorous head nod foremost, and a political observation only secondarily -- evidenced by my use of the meme "obligatory:") was justifiable rationally.
Forgive me, I thought you had reasonable reading comprehension. My first source stated that the name has Jewish origins, not that the origins are exclusively Jewish. No word or phrase suggested unambiguously any kind of exclusivity. You again out yourself as the one with biases and an inability to read what has actually been presented.
You do not know me. Again you make assumptions about my character to suit your own biases and assumptions. I admit to being wrong when I see that I am wrong, frequently. It is truth I am devoted to, not any narrative (beyond the narratives of truth, morality, and liberty if you would call those narratives). I have already stated my agreement with you that the name is not necessarily Jewish, but you are failing to understand that I was not using the name alone to come to my conclusion in my original comment. I used the context of the book cover and title in conjunction with the name to draw my conclusion. I did not make an assumption about the contents of the book (you say I was "wrong" about that, when my point in no way depended on that) and I only assumed the author was Jewish based on the other context I observed.
If he is not Jewish and the book is pure satire and actually makes fun of race-mixing (I would have to read it to know for sure) then I would accept that without trouble. It does not violate my "narrative" as it would simply be truth. My comment would sustain its value in terms of very easily observable trends elsewhere as well as humour.
I am not concerned by your desperation to out me as something I am not, nor am I bothered by your many assumptions about my character and intentions.
Good day.
