Do you think it's unreasonable for a jewish dad to prevent his kids/anyone in his family to purchased german made automobiles? Like If I wanted a porsche, IIRC he said that if I bought one he'd disconnect me financially entirely. He would do everything in his power to prevent me from getting one. (I'll express my opinion on this once the flamers come and go)
Now I'll go ahead and express my opinion.
How it started:
When I first wanted a porsche (Dream car like fantasy), I was told I couldn't have one no matter what, even if I was independent etc.. and I was really frustrated. I also wanted a BMW as well, but again he'd never let me get a german car because of the holocaust (his father was a holocaust victim). Agian, it's not just the fact that he wouldn't buy it, but if I were to buy it, I wouldn't be surprised if he disowned me.
My opinion on the matter is that I understand his concern and why he'd never let me get a german car. It makes sense though, the people of that era (WWII) both the germans and the jews both hated each other, even after WWII. A generation goes by and then you have this generation, the generation that has parents that were in WWII and are influenced by that, while the hate isn't nearly as strong as in the former due to it no being "officially in exisitence today" it's still bad. So then finally, you have the third generation, which would include me, ones who are getting an indirect view of the 'conlfict'; this is just like telephone. As time goes on, unless there is something to 'reinvigorate the fire', it's just going to die down and eventually go 'POOF'.
While there will be some people out there who will still brew the hate generations later, it will probably be because of things like videos that bring back all that hatred again and other such measures etc.
To me, I'm a bit indifferent but still feel frustrated over the whole ordeal. While I may not get a german car in my life, if my kid were to get one, I wouldn't care too much, especially if it was used. Only car I wouldn't let them get is a VW, cause they suck
Yes I know, porsche and VW are the same but what ever..
So there you go.
