Ever read
Stranger in a Strange Land? Michael Valentine Smith, human raised by Martians, could not

Who had had to suffer virtual slavery in their own German homelands under the reactionary governments in post-Napoleon Germany. When they arrived here, they became predominantly
anti-slavery. They had learned their lesson; why can't others?
