Hahaha!! Sorry to laugh at such a serious subject as
slavery and murder... but there is such an incredible
irony in that you just pretty much described, in some
shape or form, what *every* major car producing nation's
government has been guilty of attempting.  Think about
it.. (ok, maybe not the Swedes & Koreans :)

I think this comes from the fact we get most of our
history through movies these days...

Anywya, be against all forms of bigotry, as wise doug
said... even for people who make "Porsches". ;]

ciao,
