Moreover, where should the Germans of 1989 get these racist, anti-Semitic, and nationalistic feelings in the first place? After World War II, those who supported Hitler kept their mouths shut, for obvious reasons, and were hardly able to pass on their horrific heritage. In school, at home, and in the media, we grew up with images of the Holocaust, German war crimes, and the destructive power of ideology and nationalism. We spent years of painful confrontations with the older generation about their involvement in the Third Reich. Does Cooper think that that was all worth nothing...
Basic training speaks through a language of homophobia--destructive epithets about gays articulated for motivational or provocative ends, as well as a sexist and often racist rhetoric. The terror of being perceived as homosexual is used to scapegoat weaker members, and to instruct the rest as nonconformant with the desired image of power. And thus are reinscribed sexist machismo, racist intolerance, and hereterosexist assumption of the dominator--to excel in the military you must dominate the other side, conquer them.

Mladenov's ascendancy in Bulgaria was the result of deep interparty wrangling that was fueled by a policy clash over Zhivkov's persecution of the country's large Turkish minority.

There is an element of hostility to Los Angeles that has a racist undertone. The fact that this is a Latin region, with its patios of bougainvillaea and its streets named for Spanish saints and psychotics. When you breathe the air, you become infiltrated with the idea that you are in another region entirely...
...recent months, Duehay has come under attack for signing a petition against the largely Black Commonwealth Day School, formerly located in the wealthy Brattle St. neighborhood. In an indirect mudslinging campaign, attackers have sought to paint him as a closet racist. Although we believe Duehay erred in signing the petition, it is patently ridiculous to accuse him of racism. With regard to racial issues, Duehay has an umimpeachable record, which includes a groundbreaking school desegregation plan he directed while mayor and chair of the School Committee...
