Everyone is racist in the Elder Scrolls.

I have roleplayed a different flavour of racist in the last three games, and I am hardly unique in that sense. Every race is defined by their racism or the racism they face.

But they are not doing it because they are Christians. The vast majority of Christians don't do it, and atheist americans do it too. This is just a quirk of america, that is religiously coloured because that is what america is like.

And the comment I responded to was talking about people who circumcise for religious reasons.

So it is you, who is wrong.

Wow. If I was prompted to come up with the stupidest notion right now, I would hardly make up something dumber.

The Jews at least had a normal reason to do this(hygiene), this is ridiculous. Do you still do this?

It is not. There are enough Jews that don't support the actions of Israel for your comment to be definetly antisemitic.

I would say that Christians are not required to circumcise themselves, since jewish law only applied to Jews before Christ, and it actually made sense to do so back then, for hygienic reasons.

I was unaware Americans do this, but first I would say that that practice is clearly not connected to Abraham, that is portrayed here, in any way, even if what you say is correct. And it is a cultural practice, not a relgious one, and even if it was, as you say, motivated by religious views.

But I... am not sure how circumcision would prevent anyone from touching himself, so I am highly sceptical of that claim.

Finally, I will say that it would be unfair to transpose the beliefs of an obscure american sect of Christianity on the entire Christendom. Especially since there is literally no religious requirement for Christians to do so.

Well, I sincerely doubt people in any western country were particularly fond of black people at the time. However, the country you are from is hardly important.

The point is, that the views that prompt you to call these people nazis were also held by people that dealt with the nazis.

80 years ago, most people in your country did not have a much more favourable view of black people.

The word "fascist" does not mean "person I do not like".

This doesn't make any sense. My person has nothing to do with this.
