    speaking of speaking up

    @John, BTW, your story reminded me of one occasion. I went to a bar in Toronto. the crowd was very mixed and the air had rather international flair. with no mean intention, this Mexican guy said to a German tourist, "I know a couple of German phrases. Wie geht's and Heil Hitler!" he was immediately criticized by other immigrants and Canadians alike, visible minorities defending the German guy just because it was wrong. I call it humanity. but sometimes it does take the majority to create the environment for everyone to speak up. and in Germany with the Germans being the majority, it can be tough to speak up against their open racism.
