Line 199:
* Meanwhile, Japan remains hated amongst many Chinese and South Koreans for what was done to their countries during World War II as well as the conquests earlier. Interestingly averted in Southeast Asia, though, where hatred of Japan is much rarer despite having suffered their own share of atrocities.
* [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] faced the above Nazism accusations when details of his father, Gustav Schwarzenegger, were revealed. Gustav served the Nazi Party and the SS, but fortunately for Arnie, there was no concrete evidence that the elder Schwarzenegger had been involved in any atrocities, and even if he did Arnold had no control over it either.
** Even worse are accusations made by [[Conspiracy Theorist]] cranks against [[George Soros]], claiming hishe is an anti-Semitic accomplice to the Nazis collaborator who turned in other Jews and stole their property, simply because he ''lived'' in Hungary during the occupation, when he was 13 years old. But then, [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/George_Soros_conspiracy_theories it seems some people will use ''any'' excuse to make absurd accusations against Soros.]
* Children and relatives of crime family members would bear the brunt of retribution once their fathers turn pentito, as mentioned in the ''Mafia'' example above, as it is sadly routine for the Cosa Nostra and other Mafia-like organisationsorganizations to kill immediate and extended family members both as a form of mob terrorism and to send a message to those who might try to turn against them. One such example was when Tommaso Buscetta's sons, a son-in-law, his brother, and a nephew were all murdered as a result for Buscetta's betrayal.
* Relatives of sex offenders also get ostracisedostracized for the perp's crimes as well, even if they had nothing to do (or wanted nothing to do) with their relatives' atrocities. In a study<ref>[https://www.hrw.org/reports/2007/us0907/1.htm No Easy Answers: Sex Offender Laws in the US: Acknowledgements]</ref> critiquing the effectiveness of sex offender registries, it has been noted that those associated or related to sex offenders get ostracisedostracized and [[Convicted by Public Opinion|shamed]] to oblivion. Children of sex offenders have been bullied by their peers at school for their fathers' crimes, and families are faced with eviction or in extreme cases [[Vigilante Man|vigilante action]] such as arson, harassment and stoning aimed to drive affected families out of the vicinity. Sex crimes are indeed abhorrent and are seen with disgust by everyone, but the shame faced by families who have no control over their relatives' sexual deviancy is just as sad as the pervs' victims.
* A common accusation made to the Democrat Party is that they opposed Emancipation before the American Civil War, founded the Ku Klux Klan immediately afterwards, and Jim Crow laws later - all events repeatedly condemned by members of the DNC who were born after the Civil Rights Movement, which as of 2021, is almost all of them.
* Almost a millennium later, [[The Crusades]] continue to be used as an excuse to condemn Christians. [[The Spanish Inquisition]] and [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Salem%20witch%20trials Salem Witch Trials] don't help either.
