For all we know, it's literally just his/her family name. 80 years later, it does not need to be always associated with Nazis/Fascism.

Just playing devils advocate :-)

It's not like Adolf Hitler went to the court of law and changed his name legally from Edward Doofenschmitz to Adolf Hitler.

I expected that Hitler wouldn't be anyones last name in 2019 especially due to your statement saying that people even changed their names in the past.

What if his name was Dan Stevens? Jon Marchessault?

A name's just a name. They changed their names because Germany has been brutally trying to suppress any link to Nazi Germany that they can and in turn have treated people with that name poorly. There's lots of times in history where that happened, you need only look at history of Irish descendants in Canada for instance.

Anyways i get your point but lets get real here, that user's last name is not Hitler we both know that lol
But as ShinyThings already mentioned he isn't being racist on here i guess, i was just kinda shocked seeing that name and it irritated me for what it stands for.
