the poster is not right.

he makes a faulty generalization.

additionally:

decouple motivation from action.

you have reacted to a trigger-word.

*maybe* due to a 'wrong' motivation.

but your reaction was correct.

gain the essence of the post [1].

your intuition acts, immediately.

you *maybe* choose your words 'wrong'.

yes, get over it.

over the *unhealthy* part of the guilt.

*guilt* protects.

*healthy* 'guilt'.

be *proud* of your nationality.

but *never* forget.

*watch* - Germans, Norwegians, Greeks, Americans...!

*watch* *humans*.

I thought that "Untermensch" [5] is a german word.

Can Oxford's (excellent or not) dictionaries of the English Language
supersede a nations language? Especially a word with such a deep
historical meaning?

I don't know.

I'm undereducated.

But it doesn't even matter.

View "Untermensch" - "a person considered racially or socially
inferior." ...

...in the context it was used: [1]

You'll get the 'german' 'definition' [2].

View "Untermensch" - "a person considered racially or socially
inferior." ...

...isolated.

analyze it.

"a person considered racially or socially inferior."

?

there is *no* difference.

this sounds like "Der Kluegere gibt nach" [3]

But i must take care.

How is "Der Kluegere gibt nach" defined in Oxford's excellent dictionaries?
