If you're obcessed with the race of the people involved, you're probably a racist.

Describing Fascism as something that only victimizes a specific ethnicity - Jews, curiously forgetting other Nazi-victimized ethnicities like Roma, not to mention non-ethnic groups such as those with disabilities - is also a long running hasbara strategy of Zionists to portray themselves as impossible to be Fascists, all the while behaving as such to quite an extreme level, something extra poignant right now when they're in the middle of committing Genocide.

Even if all that was just the product of naivety of the author rather than something else, to limit one's description of Fascism to only Nazis is an insult to people who lived under other Fascist dictatorships, something which just so happens to include me - just because the dictator in my homeland "only" had censorship, a secret police, political prisioners, forced labour of the natives in the "colonies" in Africa and kept the country incredibly poor except for the 9 families of the Regime, doesn't mean that shit wasn't Fascism because he was "equal opportunity" when it came to the ethnicity of the people he oppressed and exploited.

(PS: Also, thinking that it's the race of a person that makes them behave one way or another is the very dictionary definition of racism. It's quite irrelevant which race you think are "goodies" and which are "badies" - it's the thinking that it's the race that makes people "goodies" or "badies" that's racism)

The simplest explanation for somebody only seing the race angle of Fascism, only the Nazis and only a specific ethnicity they victimized when there is at least one other that they equally victimized (the Roma) is racism.
