The thing is, outside of a few very specific instances, German heritage culture doesn't exist in the US anymore whereas you can see celebrations of other cultures within the US and considering a little over 1/6th of the US population has German ancestory, that's pretty telling. So yes, German culture is the most suppressed culture in the US.
No Oktoberfest? No Lutheran churches? No Bratwurst, or Hamburgers? No Nena, Kraftwerk, Rammstein, not to mention Beethoven or Brahms? No Gunter Grass, no Franz Kafka, no Gothe?
Methinks you have simply normalized all the parts of German culture that are now "american" to the point where they are invisible.
