There seems to be an inordinate amount of racism around the Huntsville Alabama area, and I can't help but wonder if that's partly due to the legacy of operation paperclip.

I guess if we can't find any examples of racism in Alabama before 1946 your theory may have legs.

[–] DigitalTraveler42 60 points 9 months ago

Yeah as if Alabama needed any help with being racist.

Lmfao, you mean "rural Alabama" as the area around Huntsville??

Racism? There?? No way

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Yeah it’s called Alabama. No one should live there. It’s a terrible place.

Nazi racial theory was actually significantly less extreme than Jim Crow-era racist policies in many ways -- i.e. blood quanta vs. "one drop". Ex-Naxi rocket scientists were likely to have had a moderating effect on southern racism.
