TBF there are a lot of complete and utter racists out there. The word for a black person is 'nigerchi'. It comes from the word negroid, and I'm told is not meant to be offensive, but clearly makes you uncomfortable when heard (especially if you're out with a mate who's black). Definitely too much racism and facism out there, in certain quarters of society anyway: football fans being the worst
As for being allied to the Nazis, the King was actually an Austrian at the time, and they initially declared themselves neutral. The Germans ended up demanding they let their lot through so they could invade Greece, so it was either that or annihilation. They refused to send the Jews to the concentration camps, at least, so not all bad eggs.
