My people were killed in the Holocaust. Hitler despised them so much there are chapters of Mien Kamf dedicated to how my people deserve extermination for being on the same level if not worse then Jews.
There’s your answer.
I get looks of disgust if I tell anyone where my family is from; if I speak my language; or say anything remotely positive about my people. This comes from Libs, the right, fascists, the whole lot.
To Americans I’m a rat commie bastard (ironically correct), who is probably a traitor (also correct), and deserves death because my people are a sworn enemy of the “free world”.
My family also got wonderful comments when they first came here, such as “Where’s your antennas? Don’t they install those on all the commies so the government can control them”? They weren’t being satirically racist. They were actually that moronic.
Which would make my ethnic group Slavic, and we know how much the Nazis loved Slavs. Plus, Belarus was part of the USSR, so they are automatic commies.
Oh, I was referring to Slavs as a whole, but Belarussians are seen as an extension of Russia, and are "bastards of Nordic blood with Slavic Mongoloids".
It's completely race science bullshit.
Belarus was also supposed to be the center and launching point of General Plan Ost. So all Belarussians needed to be exterminated to make room.
Belarus also put up an insane amount of resistance during occupation, they were particularly despised, and a MP assignment to Belarus was seen as a death sentence by many Germans.
