As a Jewish Hungarian, I remember respecting the `NEIN JUDE` signs (as a people attempting to preserve their cultural identity, which I feel a nation is entitled)... even if it made finding a shop to visit extremely difficult.
This was eighteen years ago, and I hope nothing has changed in Germany.
Not every form of discrimination is the holocaust.
It is very important to not be extreme when dealing with human ignorance. For mild cases of discrimination, especially those coming from fear and ignorance, engaging in full confrontation is not necessarily the most effective strategy to reduce said discrimination. It might actually increase it.
Now if faced with hate speech, that's a much higher degree. That needs a different strategy to reduce it.
But unless you are looking at actual segregation and genocide, dropping a Nazi accusation is hardly constructive.
Oh, sorry, are we supposed to respectfully inform someone why segregation is bad when they practically paraphrase the 14 words? I thought my wordplay got my point across pretty well, frankly.

Anyways, a "no whites" sign is definitely "actual segregation" and I'm not going to debate it or any apologia (which is what your comment is).
