Are these american nazis aware their grandads killed nazis? I've always found it bizarre they fell down that rabbit hole.
There was a Nazi party here in the US and a lot of people admired Hitler when he was rebuilding Germany. There were even some members of the press that expressed admiration when they covered the reforms he did.
Privilege can let you get away with a lot of things. There were concentration camps for Japanese-American citizens but none for German or Italian. For the Italians they were asked to persuade their extended families in Italy to stop fighting against us. I'm not sure what was asked for the Germans. My source is from documentaries I've seen (I really like this one).
There was widespread racism directed at Italian Americans that ran for decades. My grandmother's mortgage from 1955 had language referring to Italian America quotas that needed to be referenced so they were not exceeded. That meant the town had to sign off on Italian Americans buying the home.
German is the most common ancestry in America which is likely why we did nothing about German Americans.
My dude, there were anti German riots in the Midwest during the 19th century.
The xenophobia has always been focused on the latest group to migrate.
Yes but by the 20th century that had changed which is why German camps weren't a thing.
In the Italians case they weren't the last but they were the last group of "white" people. White on white racism gets weird.
From what I learned talking to many WWII vets of German descent, they pretty much all said, "welp our cousins are starting shit again, time to go give them a spanking," and signed up for service in droves even before Pearl Harbor. Lots of Teddy R. fans in that group.
These goons are barely aware of anything beyond their narrow views.
I think someone should really study what's going on, or we'll never get out of this cycle.
People have studied the Holocaust and the Nazi rise to power in great detail.
The problem is the media diet of these bigots doesn't include the typical educational information someone like me got growing up.
This is the results Sinclair media and Fox News.
