186. It looks weird when white people
Tell minorities how bad they have it in the U.S. I wouldn't call minorities the "new Jews."

Most Jews in Nazi Germany were not blue collar or on the lower end of the social scale before Nazis came to power.

The most damning thing about the Holocaust was that in Europe Jews had professional careers(bankers, doctors, etc.) who had prominence in their societies. Eventually through populist fervor they were viewed as some alien elite controling the country.

The Nazis rose to power by playing into the fears of a Jewish elite controling everything.

The danger wasn't the powerful versus the powerless but assumed powerless people(Aryan Germans) versus people who they felt were the powerful controling their lives.
