    What Nazi Germany classed as “untermenschen:”

    • People of Jewish descent
    • People of Slavic descent
    • People of African descent
    • People of Romani descent
    • Homosexuals
    • The mentally disabled
    • The physically disabled
    • Political dissidents
    • POWs

    Qualifying people were dehumanized, arrested and initially deported, but eventually taken to camps and either systematically exterminated or put into slavery.

    It’s not enough to say that there are parallels, America is playing exactly by the Nazi guide book.
