****, after being stationed in Germany twice I call them more racist than us. One of the things they told people in the 90s was black peoples had monkey tails.FOS » 27 Jun 2022, 6:00 pm » wrote: ↑ The germans DID view racial purity as important.

This was not based on some concept of the inferiority of other races...it was based on the intrinsic benefits of racial purity.
Which is actually perfectly sound scientifically. A purebred hyman...just like a purebred horse or dog...is fine tuned with certain particular talents. A pit bull is better at pit fighting than a greyhound...a greyhound runs faster than a bit bull...a mix is not terribly good at either.
That is thr concept of racial purity and there is no 'supremacy' involved. Indeed the idea that whites are somehow superior is far more of an anglo concept than a german one.
I suppose that I you consider the idea of purebreds to be racist then you could call the naxis racist. But it still was drastically different from what people commonly mean by racism.
