How to test how much ethnic identity you have by Jay Knott (05/17/12)       ⇌ (Exaggeration of Hate Crimes)       

Well, here's how I did it - http://pacificaforum.org/lindbergh--fascism-and-world-war-ii - 

"A thought experiment: I used to believe that, in 1939, I would not have fought for Britain, because Britain had no real quarrel with Germany. On the other hand, I reasoned, in 1941, when Japan started moving toward Australasia, I would have joined up, hoping to defend its people from a repeat of the horrors the Japanese army had inflicted on the inhabitants of Asia. In other words, I admit to a trace of 'ethnic identity' - though in theory I should defend the people of Nanking, in practice, I would no more defend them than today I would volunteer to defend Rwandans. On the other hand, Australians and New Zealanders are not foreigners to me. There is no rational or moral reason for this attitude - it just happens that I had it."
