    I knew about Oradour-sur-Glane before I visited. Why would you be any different?

    Lol...How parochial. It's called evolution of the species. We aim to become better. I can see it's an alien concept to you.

    You're a primate, a human being, being German is a useful fiction for getting people to work together, but you basing reality utterly on such fictions which are really much more complex historical constructions is absurd. There is no basis for racism, and you will note the utter absence of the impacts of racism in the world and the disgusting loss of life that has been justified on such a basis.

    No child is born racist, they must be indoctrinated from birth by bigoted parents. Which seems to have been the case in this scenario for many generations.

    And what is the discrete and particular difference between "ethnic germans" and say Belgians or the French?

    Passive racism is for the most part innocuous.
    It becomes dangerous when total losers start to feel empowered by it.
    This phenomena is demonstrated daily on this board and the OP is not an exception.

    Oh, no doubt.
    In the end, he brought them misery. A cautionary tale.

    Passport germans or paper germans dont mix with germans but live in their ghettos. Its a leftist ideology to believe a turk with a german passport becomes a german, when in reality evry german labels him a turk and nothing else.

    Beside that in eastern Germany live no foreigners. If you dont look like a german, you dont get accepted.

    In other words, a mouse born in a horse staple will never be a horse.

    Language, culture, look and genetic make up. French have mediterranean genetic influx, speak a romanic language. Germans have germanic genetic make up, speak german and have totally different culture.

    We call this time our "Wirtschaftswunder" (Economic Miracle) - Western Germany's rise from the ashes of WW2. Also western allies, especially the US, sponsored us because they needed a buffer zone against the Soviets.

    During that time, eastern Germans had to live in constant darkness under Russian-Communist oppression.
    This included "education of hatred" against the western power structure. GDR citizens learned that the US is evil, also freedom and democracy are really bad things. This made them completely nuts, especially as the Soviet empire went down and died. Now most of them had become neo-Nazis.

    You remind me of Americans who live in all-white communities. They try to ignore the fact all these "other people" are living in their major cities.

    No, of course not. But the eruption in French society was a reaction to the extremely oppressive royal government. Notice a pattern ... royalty, unstable government, dictatorial regime?

    I think self-segregation is not considered racism. For instance, Chinese or Indian communities exist in Britain as they don't like to mix with Europeans around them, so do the Russians in Germany. Racism becomes apparent when a particular ethnic group is especially persecuted by the majority or even the state, such as the Romani people in France today.

    So you are treating cultural differences as genetic. How quaint. Germans dont have a noticeable genetic divergence from the French. Your differences are cultural.

    That's not racism, racism is a whole ideology within a culture to hate and believe a particular group is inferior in order to justify an oppressive arrangement. Humans once all came from Africa, to say Africans are inferior or that we are naturally afraid of them is nonsense. Children are wary of anyone they don't know, but will do better initially with people who look more like their parents. That doesn't mean children cannot totally get along with anyone of any skin color. When you are taught to see this way from an early age, you are incapable of seeing people in other ways which are more genuine than merely making assumptions based upon appearance. Your racism is irrational and immoral.

    Take every person on the merits of who they are and what they do. Give them a chance to be all they can be (or the opposite)
    I know some white trash I would not trade 30 for half a decent minority person that puts them to shame.

    In eastern Germany are almost no foreigners.

    Something that is quite positive for social norms, security and standard of living.
