you are absolutely right. 100%. dressing in nazi uniform is horrible and heinous. as is dressing in blackface horrible. but should we arrest people or punish them if they dress in a nazi uniform? not unless they start murdering or harming people. as a german, i take great offense to the whole hitler atrocity, even though i am not jewish. while i would be offended and outraged, i don't think someone who dresses in a nazi uniform should be punished. just the public humiliation and shame would do the job.

things like this are very hard to digest. i personally am highly offended by people on this site calling white people "white folks". why? i don't know, i just don't like it. i would never call black people "black folks". it just doesn't sit well with me.
