/start rant

Every article about anyone from either of those places is going to something about their lack of support for slavery/segregation or Hitler! See, this is how it works, if you're just some random person then you supported slavery/segregation/Hitler. If you're notable, there's going to be an obligatory part where your anti-slavery/segregation/Hitler stance is going to be emphasized, whether or not this was true. Examples: Lee, Heidegger, Heisenberg, many others. Basically, we rewrite history because highly intelligent people couldn't possibly support nazism or slavery... and when it's just too obvious that they did, we just omit it. Thankfully, it's not as bad in wikipedia, perhaps owing to it's semi-international perspective.

scant examples
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

A couple guys I worked with in Germany (both from the former East Germany) were huge WWF fans. They loved their Trabis (slightly junky cars). I always thought of them as German rednecks

If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.
