This whole Nazi thing is vaguely amusing, but I think it's a disease
afflicting most if not all high-school students. I was called, at various
times, "commie", "nazi", and even "Communist nazi" in high school in
Canada. "Commie" came about when it was discovered that not only am I
Eastern European but that I spoke Russian (this was when the son of the
immortal Vladimir Krutov, who had come to Vancouver to play hockey,
enrolled at our school, and the students were asked if any spoke
Russian...I was the only one who knew any); "nazi" came about from taking
German when the opportunity arose, and some people accused me of being a
nazi skinhead though I was mostly an oi thru high school...then they
figured, I'm both.

Nazi with dark brown hair and high cheekbones...
