  • I keep meaning to look up how the Nazis reacted to supposedly “racially inferior” Jewish and black competitors winning events at the 1936 Olympics. I’m sure they’ll use the same rationale.

    Edit: well I finally got my finger out. It seems they put them down to anomalies and just kept on thinking they were the best. I expected as much.

    One interesting tidbit is that some of the losses were blamed on weather or technicalities hahahaha. Cope.

    Jesse Owens (who I just learned won four gold medals) did say that he was treated better in Germany than the US and Roosevelt never invited him to the white house. Shameful. :(
