Were there any American precedents for the Nuremberg
Laws?
50. Were there any American precedents for the Nuremberg Laws?
The IHR says:
Many states in the U.S.A. had laws preventing intermarriage and sexual
relations between persons of different races long before the Nazis.
Nizkor replies:
This is just a guess, but it seems likely that the penalty for
breaking the law in America was not the same as the penalty in
Nazi Germany: death.
In any case, this is just more irrelevant moral relativism.
