That is not what the parable of the Samaritan was implying, nor the context of it. Samaritans were and are an ethnic group that historically has had friction with other Semitic groups (notably, Jews). They were not in any way "Nazis of their day," and the parable was not about that particular Samaritan being better than other Samaritans, but about morality being a stronger tie than culture.

> that rose above his race and did what was good
Someone already corrected you on facts, but I just want to say that the premise of "rising above his race" is nonsense to me. Why would you think this way?
You mean...Samaritan? The Samaritans were the Nazis of their day and the legend is about a Samaritan that rose above his race and did what was good - thus, the one Good Samaritan.
You wouldn’t say Bad Nazi. You just say Nazi and Good Nazi.
