So, there's a certain subset of fandom that seems to make a habit of protesting that Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto, is totally JEWISH NOT GERMAN. (XMFC movieverse particularly.)

It irritates me. He is Jewish AND German.

Not for nothing, morons, but the argument that because a man is Jewish, he is therefore not German?

Is the one the Nazis were making. It's not impossible that Erik would stab you in the face for saying he isn't German, because that's the attitude that killed his family.

Dude is German. Dude is Jewish. These things are not mutually exclusive.

Sort of like how some people think a person can't be Asian and American, or Black and American. WTF? His nationality has nothing to do with his religion and cultural status. But then again, that's the point you're making - that that's what the Nazis were trying to claim, and the Eric in my head, wouldn't just face-stab, he'd heart implode the idjeets.
