for example.
The reason it's not mentioned is very simple: it's not relevant. Just as the skin color of the workers was not relevant to the development of the mass production process.

Nazis, Hitler, anti-Jewish laws, etc. Now, if you want to continue being a whiny, defensive white guy freaked out because someone noticed that an early 20th-century film only had white guys in it, you're going to do so without any further responses from me.
- zeteo 16y agoHow lucky for prof. Smil that he included that tangential sentence about Lise Meitner's Austrian passport! Otherwise the whole of his learned research might have become "weird and suspect" for our non-whiny, non-defensive, full of politically-correct chromosomes friend Semiapies.
