You find it offensive that Einstein is sometimes called a German scientist? If the Germans of that era hadn't been so eaten up by their antisemitism, all those Jewish scientists, most of whom were very assimilated indeed, might have helped them get the nuclear bomb and missile systems in time to help their regime. Of course, if they hadn't wasted all that manpower and materiel and railroads on extermination they might have beaten Russia and Britain and gotten to their goal of European domination before the U.S. could stop them. See, that's the problem with these kinds of ideologies...they're illogical and a-scientific.
As for the Russians, they were sure happy to claim Stalin when they thought he'd bring them world domination, weren't they? Of course, he kept the whole country in a state of paralyzed fear. The Germans were terrified of Hitler too.
Wait a minute, wasn't Hitler E1b1b? By your reckoning, does that make him "North African"? Of course, if we go by these kinds of simplistic classifications, would R1a and R1b be Central Asian? Wait, R1b is African too, then. "N" would definitely be Siberian/East Asian? Things do get so muddled up, don't they?
Anyway, this would mean we had the Russians in subjugation to a man of the Caucasus, and the Germans controlled and dominated by a North African. How on earth did that happen? At least the Italians were in subjugation to one of their own.
As for Marx and hedge fund managers, I've always found it amusing in a black, bizarre, and rather tragic way how Jews are blamed both for communism/socialism and the extremes of capitalism. It never seems to occur to people who see the world in this way that these were the competing systems of the twentieth century, and highly educated and capable people, which Jews usually are, are going to rise to the top under both systems. Those who are incapable of competing on that level will turn to conspiracy theories. As for the Bernie Madoff types, people who actually have the money to invest with men like him know that greedy gamers of the system come in all sorts of "ethnic" packages. Ever heard of Raj Rajaratnam? No? Jeff Skilling of Enron fame? I could go on and on, but it would be boring. By the way, many of the people who were burnt by Madoff were Jews. He worked his circuit. Con artists come in all sizes, shapes, and ethnicities, and they're bound by no "ethnic" considerations.
Just for your information, we deal in genetics here, or history, or archaeology, or linguistics, or at least we try to...not fairly tales where fully formed Germans, or Russians, or Brits, or Italians were created in some sort of celestial petri dish and dropped by alien space ship into their pre-ordained and sacred locales. They were created the only fashioned way, but migration and admixture through time and space. It may be upsetting, but that's the reality.
