No, I couldn't care less about color or race, but if someones a dick on purpose i'll just give them hell no matter where they;re from, not like anyone should get special treatment because of where they're from.
But it's nothing that should ruin anyone's day. If you're worried about it, then I don't think you are racist since you care, and you could just say sorry, didn't mean it that way.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
