It doesn't matter what country you are a member of, all peoples have the
possibility to treat people wrongly because of race or color, features,
intelligence level, or even disability (esp. the US!).  Voldemort's
viewpoints are not an isolated case.  Did the English/UK/British Isles do
anything as bad as we during the war?

I think we'd got the really bad stuff out of our system by then.  Our
questionable actions were all directed at the enemy, rather than our own
citizens.  Although there is some evidence that the Government knew about
the Holocaust but did nothing to help Jewish refugees.

Also the establishment was disturbingly pro-Hitler until war was actually
declared.
