We seem to have forgiven Germans for the holocaust. I don't detect any particular "Germans are less humane than us" sentiment in the U.S. these days.
> torturing and eating dogs, cats, monkeys, which just is entirely sacriligious everywhere else
We torture and eat pigs in the U.S., who are just as intelligent as dogs. I think you have the causality arrow wrong. We latch on to a few people in Asia eating dogs because we already decided they're lesser than and we're looking for an excuse.
> A few bad apples really do spoil the whole bunch, and that's reality.
I think it's much more complicated than that. Why do bad apples spoil feminism for example, but bad apples don't spoil the NFL?
