as you said it's an OLD anthem and more or less discarded cause it's too much associated with nationalism and racism. German people were pretty angry at me when I talked about this anthem.

I get that much. After WW2, the old anthem was banned until they abolished the first 2 stanzas. It does however fit with the history of Germany. When Germany was formed (as it was before WW1 & 2), nationalism was abundant. So it fit pre-WW1 Germany. Nowadays, not so much.
