https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarring_and_feathering The photo here is of John Meints, a German-American farmer who was tarred and feathered in Minnesota in August 1918. Yes, I know today is Pearl Harbor day and my thoughts may seem to have turned to the 'wrong' World War. But hey, I can't tame them to obey a calender. I include Meints' photo here as a reminder that racism can victimize anyone, even those nasty "north Europeans." And to suggest that when it happens we should call it "racism," and not use word magic to try to say that Meints was the victim of something else, or wasn't really a victim at all.
