Racist propaganda

I don't think that this is going to work as an article. Whilst Nazi antisemitic propaganda is undeniable - just about anythng else will be POV (note that the creator's reference to US portrayals of Germans in WWII has already been removed - a POV dispute) Israeli portrayals of Arabs (Arabs of Jews) - Greeks and Turks - Scots and English ....?? Sorry, but I think this should go --Doc Glasgow 15:19, 20 May 2005 (UTC) (or redirect to Propaganda--Doc Glasgow 16:26, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Valid topic - POV problems are a reason to watch the article carefully, not to keep it out. -- BD2412 ^talk 16:14, 2005 May 20 (UTC)
• Delete — already covered far better on the Propaganda page. — RJH 16:16, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, agree with RJH--Sophitus 17:13, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: I'd have to say that it's better covered at its master topic (propaganda). Propaganda is state-sponsored, so "racist propaganda" is a little strained. Racially based state propaganda is quite possible, but that's too long a name. Plain old racist caricature and stereotyping isn't propaganda. (And yes, the US did try race-based propaganda against the Chinese with the Yellow Peril, and of the Japanese, but state-sponsored and designed racial typing for propaganda purposes is rare in the US, even as casual and private racist slurs are far too common.)

• Merge with Propaganda. Stancel 20:14, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable sub-type of Propaganda, which has grown too large, hence the need to split it out. Klonimus 22:07, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, already covered in Propaganda. Megan1967 01:53, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
