says 'Blue eyed people are kind and blah blah blah'.

Although I just saw one that says 'Brown eyes people are............all things wonderful'

OK, I am green eyed, and haven't seen one about me yet!! Wink

But it really does make me think of the Nazis every time I see a generalisation post like this.

I've had one of those appear on my FB feed recently, from somebody I really wouldn't expect. I think they meant it affectionately towards their DP, but I was a bit Hmm about it too.

Wonder who will be the first 'original' poster to say "der, FB's pathetic, it's the work of the devil". Or similar.

You're being a bit unreasonable.

Oh, I dunno ... posting shite on facebook vs conducting pogroms which involve transporting millions to concentration camps and gassing them; it's a thin line.

Actually, it is Wallison, a very thin line between posting about being superior because of your eye colour and really believing people with a different eye colour are inferior and killing them because of it.

I am green eyed but I dont think Nazi. I think "my eyes are indescribable" Grin

I think you're being a bit hysterical OP.

YABU

They aren't saying the other eye colours are inferior, they are just saying why that particular colour is good.

Incidently, the ones Ive seen have green eyes with the brown one.

I am not normally know for hysteria, to be fair! Grin

I am quite a chilled and relaxed person. Maybe I know too many Jewish people.

Not seen it pop up on my page yet but it would make me think of the old blue eyes brown eyes experiment.

It's funny because I think of Nazis when I see Owen Paterson's Nazi marksmen shooting badgers in the woods.

Pure evil.

SP, I wouldn't want to attribute personality traits to them though! Any more than to ginger hair or black skin.

Yy. That and concentration camps. Sorry to bang on about it but it's a pretty distinctive way of spotting them.

But Nazis and their views were around before the concentration camps and before they identified themselves with swastikas. If you want to keeo that very simplified view of the world, you carry on and hide this thread don't let me bother you. If you want to learn how insidious these things can become, then stick around.

I can see your point (as a green eyed Jew!) but it is taking it too far in a way. They aren't saying the other is bad, just that this is good. However, I've on,t had posts which said 'people with green eyes are like x, brown eyes are like y, blue eyes like z etc;' with all good things, which I'm Hmm
