To say, that the condition here in the US warrants placement alongside Nazi Germany (even as an example of a lesser case) is ... notable.
There are certainly degrees of discrimination, say, ethnic cleansing as happened in Germany, or more recently in what used to be Yugoslavia, to the Apartheid in South Africa, to the lesser forms which we have in the US.
... which evolved out of slavery, which is (say) somewhere between Apartheid and Nazi Germany.
I find it sobering, and saddening, that the US merits an entry on the scale of comparisons.
I'm curious, too, how other folks place the US on that scale, in particular, folks from other countries, who, I think, will have a very different perspective than many people in the US.
(This is from the perspective of a person who is mostly white -- I have a mixed Eastern European and Italian ancestry, so my skin has a typical Mediteranean olive cast -- and who has a very limited direct experience with discrimination.)
Thx!
