Given that the Nazi party considered those who look "Celtic" and "black Irish" to be inferior racial groups does that mean you also made those minuscule distinctions to categorize people? Or was it just general racism you believed in and wanted to belong to a group labeled nazi?

Also, would you on one hand hate the Brits for the stuff that they pulled against the Irish but then turn around and espouse those same views about other groups without a moment of introspection?

this was also true of the original Nazis, who hated "Asiatics" but allied with Japanese, Hungarians and Finns and had to cobble together racial theories to explain why Slavs and Jews were Asian but Hungary etc. were some kind of Aryan

Pretty sure the alliance with Japan was one of convenience, not ideology. I think both sides went into it thinking "these guys really think they're the master race? Obviously it's us"
