That wikipedia article supports what I said. And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but when speaking with others you do need to use the actual definitions of words. If you pretend words mean things they do not mean, then communication is impossible. Racism requires the belief that one or more races are inferior or superior to others. Not merely an acknowledgement that races exist.
- foldr 12y agoThe Wikipedia article shows Speer making reference to the fact that Hitler considered Arabs racially inferior. I am not going to argue the semantics of racism with you. You know as well as I do that there are no examples of non-racists opposed to interracial marriage. Such people could conceivably exist in principle, but do not in practice. I am not sure what your motivations are for trying to defend these hypothetical non-racist anti-miscegenationists, but this has nothing to do with the Nazis in any case.
- imanaccount247 12y agoIt also shows Hitler saying otherwise. Hearsay vs first hand, what a tough call. Why are your responses so consistently dishonest?
- foldr 12y agoWhere on the page does it show Hitler saying that Arabs are not racially inferior to "Aryans"? The page has multiple well-sourced instances of Hitler making explicitly racist comments about Arabs. E.g. "Let us think as men and let us see in these peoples [in the Far East and Arabia] at best lacquered half-apes who are anxious to experience the lash". And as far as hearsay is concerned, the article notes that similar statements are made in Mein Kampf (which, to state the obvious, was written by Hitler personally).
