Hitler-themed Valentine's Day cards distributed at Michigan University
It’s unfortunate that some people can be such ignorant bigots that they actually find anti-Semitism romantic. A Valentine’s Day card comparing the intensity of one’s love to Hitler’s hatred for Jews was handed out to students during a Republican group meeting at Michigan University, in the United States.
The so-called Valentine card had the words ‘My love for u burns like the 6,000 Jews’ along with even a close-up photo of Adolf Hitler in case you failed to make the connection. University President George Ross told the Washington Post that campus leaders will meet on Thursday to discuss what kind of action will take place next.
Many people took to the internet to express their outrage at the shocking incident.
The @CMUniversity I love doesn't tolerate hate speech. This is not what being a Chippewa stands for. #WhyIResist pic.twitter.com/uIIR4pVbYf
