I agree with many things you stated, and it's very difficult comparing WWII to the current situations which exist around the world today.
There has always been racism and there will always be racism. No ifs, ands or buts. That is human nature.
Racism was sure prevalent during WWII. YEAH! Look at Hitler. He wanted to wipe out every Jew on the face of the earth.
Somethings in life don't change. Sad fact.
While today's events aren't spurred by what we would typically called racism, they are spurred by intolerance of others. The fanatics want to wipe out all Christians. Call it what you want, but one race, one culture, one religion wants to rid another off the face of the earth.
