Well said. Your specific pieces of advice made me headdesk at the cluelessness out there.
Just one small point (which I didn't actually notice myself, but had to have pointed out to me):
When you say, "Confusing 'Holocaust victim' with 'germanic' is like... well... it's like confusing a Holocaust victim with an ethnic German!" that reads as implying there weren't ethnic German victims of the Holocaust. Would you mind rephrasing that?
