    Reminds me a bit of this thread from /r/HistoryMemes

    Europeans talking about American Racial Tensions (MLK) vs Europeans talking about Romani people (Hitler)

    comments proceed to prove the post 100% correct

    It’s amazing how their racist arguments about Romani people are basically exactly the same as American racist arguments about black people, but they can’t see the connection.

      All of that “but they don’t integrate well” is bullshit too. Jewish people integrated into European nations, while maintaining an independent cultural identity, and were still subject of ridicule and oppression starting from the Alfred Dreyfus affair and culminating with the Holocaust.

      It’s just white supremacy.

        Reminds me of something I read that went on during world war 1; apparently the German government at the time wanted to prove that the Jewish people were letting Germans die in war but not contributing themselves and conducted a study that SURELY was going to prove that, right?

        Well actually the study proved that Jewish people were participating in the military in higher numbers than non-Jewish people and so they kept the results of the study under wraps.
