    I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. There are countless pieces of Nazi propaganda that were taken as fact at some point in the intervening 80 years. Famously, the number of people killed in the Dresden bombing was hugely inflated by the Nazis to smear the Allies, and those numbers were accepted for a very long time.



  • Just so you know, the phrase you’re thinking of as historic and racist is “colored people”. People of Color is a more modern example of people-first language that has been broadly accepted as politically correct. Admittedly, at face value it seems like a very minor difference, but the historical context of a slur is 90% of the problem a lot of the time, so here we are.
