That's a valid and relevant argument. I'm no linguist, but at least to native English speakers, I think there would be different interpretations of that adjective whether it was applied to people or countries. Language can get messy like that.

"German" can for example either refer to ethnicity or nationality, and some people will be members of one and not the other. We typically assume that it refers to nationality, though, unless context dictates otherwise.
