Binnie,

Don't know if you recall an anti-drug psa from the 1980s. A man discovers his son's drug stash and confronts him about it. After being cornered and asked "who taught you to use drugs?"...the kid says "You, alright? I learned from watching you"

I've read Mein Kampf, and Hitler trips over himself PRAISING American segregation of races.Some say that idea of concentration camps was inspired by the "reservations" that Native people were placed on here.

"you ,alright, learned from watching you"

Story of FDR snubbing American sports hero Owens, sounds about right.
