From the guidelines: What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

If the story was about a German national then yes, I would still say this is political and doesn't gratify my intellectual curiosity.
