Image impact

[asterroc]

Having a very interesting conversation with Foxtrot comparing a couple of images. Rather than recreating the discussion here, I'll post the two images and see what y'all think of them.



Edit: Some people weren't seeing the proper image on the left before. I replaced it with a different version of the image, should work now.

... for clarification, I am not disputing that people had stereotypes about Germans and called them rude names. That's really historically clear. But racism is a particular phenomenon that I don't think was operative against Germans here, and there are valid reasons to consider racism to be on a level worse than regular xenophobia/cultural bias against a nation we're at war with.
