Yes, video games and television might be harmless. That Harlem Hellfighter DLC at less than $5 during Pre-Order though, it is quite interesting actually. But as a "themed sets". I don't know how it will play out, but they have specific segregated command unit in WW1 in US Army. But then, integrated into unsegregated French command. Also, the first to enter Germany? They were called Hellfighter by the Germans because of their ferocity in fighting?
Regarding spreading false information and our own filtering ability: I am a balanced person, thus I ask about Hitler vs. FDR cordiality to blacks, German vs. US (the WW2 victors) and reconfirm my knowledge. I know you lot have some qualifications, Slayer is a teacher, Mudra is educated historian, Alakazou is educated archaeologist. Well, I should source my materials carefully.
That black Olympic gold medalist (Jesse Owens) anecdote is one of those examples of twist & bend propaganda. It might seem harmless if that slightly inaccurate fact was presented like that. But to my Muslim friends, this anecdote is prone to be twisted into "winners re-write history", and then pro-Hitler message (e.g: see, Hitler is not really as racist as the 'Muricans actually was), which leads to anti-Israel (and anti-Jewish sentiment in general). For a lot of people outside the first and second world, Holocaust rarely have any significant meaning. My father was educated in Singapore (British system) and Canada (Montreal, Quebec), this is how he knows how serious it was. But others, well you have seen an Indonesian guy signing up in this forum posing with his sig runes avatar, as if that will fly cool even to our neo-nazi bunches. There is SS-themed cafe in Bandung, Indonesia. And one of our most famous artist, wore farby SS uniform during presidential election campaign.
According to my father, USA consisted of 50% blacks, as seen on movies. He didn't believe it when I say it was only 13-15%. Now, representation of blacks in movies anyone? He is quite okay though with almost no Asian in major pictures or music scenes. While, recently the SJWs made a fuss about that. I said to him that Latinos and Asians are under-represented, actually the number of Latinos are almost twice of the blacks. He is finding it difficult to accept either. I am beginning to agree with the SJWs now, but not the engineering diveristy part. If you ask, what's the harm? Well, this suddenly makes USA looks incredibly and systematically racist (which it is, but not that much). That plays well to the likes of Chinese Communist party piece, the North Korea, ISIS, and Iran propaganda machine. It keeps and legitimises racist policy in Asia very well (take a look at Malaysia's blatant discriminatory act, a Malay guy told me that "USA is no better").
