For a bloke who liked to expound at lenght about a discipline in which he had no formal training he did ok.
It's hard to get formal training in a subject when there is no formal training in it and when you're one of a handful of people inventing it.

I think you might find that a lot of people do not look to the Nazis for their education.
But you're saying that Hitler was wrong, that when he was attempting to exterminate races other than Germanic and any others he found worthy, he wasn't actually a racist.
 
What do you mean by "I am saying he was wrong"? Is there any doubt he was wrong?

If he killed people of other races because he thought them inferior then he was racist.

However, you cannot just make people a separate race because Hitler killed them.
If he thought some people were a different race but they actually were not, then it was not racist, was it?

Do you think that makes him less despicable?


You seem to think that German (Germanic) people are a separate race of their own. Is that the case?

He considered it to be one. Pretty much the rest of the world agreed at the time.

How many 'races' do you think there are? So far it seems you just classify on skin colour alone.

Well, that clearly IS wrong.
Hitler's beliefs do not override genetics.
Is your difficulty because you believed him?

Not solely colour, but pretty easy to spot the difference.

It used to be called 'breeds' but that became unacceptable.

My difficulty is that you're talking *******s. Your definition of race is 'I know it when I see it, but no one else can define them for me'.

Which is useless in any discussion.
 
It's genetic differences leading to different characteristics.

Conversely, if you can't see them then you are denying the obvious.

Those cannot be race hatred - except in unlikely contrived circumstances.

As you say:

so, tribe hatred - or just business.
So, there's only one white race and only one black race. I wonder if we even make it to a 4bit colour chart.
 
Had a quick browse.

The first link doesn't seem to mention race; merely ethnic groups. Please indicate if I have missed a reference.

The second is clearly wrong in stating that a race can be determined by nationality, ethnicity or national origin:

Race discrimination is when you’re treated unfairly because of one of the following things:
  • colour
  • nationality
  • ethnic origin
  • national origin.
So perhaps the rest is not very reliable either,

Perhaps the law isn't very reliable either.
