Burger (and many variants) is a common German last name.

Indeed, German culture in the US is (virtually) non-existent despite it being the top ethnic group.

I'm only 50% German, but I've got a 100% German name.

The same thing the Americans did when they started the Iraq War: Changing the "French Fries" to "Freedom Fries", because the French decided to have a spine and opted against the war.
Well, "Americans" didn't really do that.  A couple of Congresscritters nobody has ever heard of made a change at the House's cafeteria that didn't last long, but when you buy them at the store or the restaurant they are ALWAYS* referred to as French Fries.  To say "Americans" did this is wrong and ignorant.



*99.9% of the time, I'm sure there are examples where some jackwad or another at Bob's House of Racist American Food may have changed the name
