[lbo-talk] What Does It Matter Who Is Speaking? Footnote

I realized this was ambiguous -- what I meant was,
there being laws and administrative regulations was
and is a very serious matter for Germans. Even Nazis!
If you could prove your non-Jewishness under the
Nuremberg laws, you were OK, despite having up to (I
think it was) 1/16th Jewish ancestry. 

 Of course at the time whether someone was Jewish was
a very serious matter too, although perhaps more for
the Jews (since by the Nuremberg laws they ceased to
be German citizens) than the goyishe aka "Aryan"
Germans.
