In 1938, some months after the initial publication of The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien and his British publisher, Stanley Unwin, opened talks with Rütten & Loening, a Berlin-based publishing house who were keen to translate the novel for the German market. All was going well until, in July, they wrote to Tolkien and asked for proof of his Aryan descent. Tolkien was furious, and forwarded their letter to his publisher along with two possible replies — one in which their question was delicately side-stepped, and one, seen below, in which Tolkien made his displeasure known with considerable style.

The Episcopallian road is easy and wide, for many go through it to find destruction. lol sorry channeling Isa.
It is OK to be racist against Indians, Kenyans, Ugandans, Zulu, Bantu and the like. Just don't be racist against the Joos. That be real bad.
I like how he subtly have shown how being Aryan means sharing ancestry with those who they possibly might have had some bigotry against.This is nice. And the fact that it happened on July 25th (my birthday) makes it even nicer.

Look who coined the term "Consentration Camp" and when.

Were the Nazis anti-Indian?I honestly don't know, but I can imagine so...i mean if one is already bigotted as it is within your own race, one's bigotry doesn't stop against the Jews.

Even more difficult is what "Nazi" praxis would be in a simple statement.

I mean, if Hitler had the choice and power, he'd probably turn against the Japs too.

Is it that difficult to type Japanese rather than Jap?
Quote from: Νεκτάριος on March 12, 2012, 04:53:22 PMIs it that difficult to type Japanese rather than Jap? Yes, when it has to be done due to some stupid political correctness. Do you need a tissue?
