I wonder how they concluded that Germans were the best at making choices.

Those "Aryan" Communitys/Colonys are all over South America. The South of Brazil (Gisele Bündchen) is a german Community that left Germany before even the 1st World War started. Neverthless, a few Nazis scaped and hid there. Most of them went to Chile and Argentina and became over the years the ruling class. I came one day a cross an Aryan website of Bolivia, where all those of "aryan" origin where whinning about how proud they are to be Aryans and Bolivians, and that they lived in such a beutiful country if it wasn't for "those indios" who ruined everything. #aryanproblems

Maybe the colony actually did survive deep underground and making an army right at this moment

"The germans are really the superior race due to their minds"-said the Ayran pig farmer

It's weird seeing a person talk about the superiority of their race with a straight face. Was expecting her to break into laughter halfway through… the more it was shocking when I realized she's serious.

Still racist after all these years.

Wow, he was able to really get that woman to absorb his small amount of German culture even tho she's surrounded by her own home country. The recipes are one thing, but why ONLY speak German to your son who lives in Paraguay? Guess he'll be bi-lingual when he grows up, which is a good thing.
