Herrenvolk Mentaliteit




New York Times:
An American Airlines pilot arriving in São Paulo, Brazil's largest city, was jailed Wednesday after he protested new procedures requiring the fingerprinting and photographing of all incoming United States citizens by making what Federal Police officers described as an obscene gesture.

Eleven other crew members on the same flight from Miami were refused entry to Brazil and detained after the police said that they had refused to be fingerprinted and behaved in a 'derisive' manner. They were ordered to return to the United States on the next available flight, which was to leave São Paulo on Wednesday night."

Just imagine you (American or foreigner) doing that at an American airport, refuse to cooperate with the security people. However, the above Americans feel they are superior and should not be subjected to these measures.

Where does fascism start? Right here, when some people think and assert they are better than, superior to other people, that rules don't apply to them only to others. It's a Herrenvolk mentality.
