Reply to In 1942, the U.S. forcibly evacuated 881 Unangax̂ (Aleut / Native Alaskans) from the Island of Atka, near Russia. Many watched as their homes and Churches were burned to keep the Japanese from getting them. In spite this, they remained patriotic and many enlisted in the U.S. Military. by triviafrenzy
The japanese did invade alaska, so it's not wholly without reason.

It's a pride/narcisissim thing. Having unique things (to their minds) makes you inherently better than those who do not have it. They genuinely just could not give less of a shit about anything else other than ego stroking themselves.

Reply to comment by inimicali in TIL in the 1920s, Coco Chanel accidentally got a tan, and helped inspire the trend of sunbathing. Soon "sunlight therapy" was prescribed for almost every ailment from fatigue to tuberculosis. Before this, tanned skin was associated with the lower classes who work outside, and fair skin was revered. by Pfeffer_Prinz
Anyone who unironically says 'latinx' isn't quite in sync with the real world...
