Lithuanian paganism: Forest god Dorobo

The term "dorobo" is apparently a derrogatory term applied to native peoples in Africa, considered an "inferior race". Unfortunately, not only are African peoples considered an inferior race, Jews also are considered an inferior race as well. Anti-Semitism in the areas of Estonia, Latvia, Belorussia, Lithuania, Poland, the Ukraine, former Bulgaristan (Bulgaria), Moldova, etc. is quite common. The idea here is that the pagan forest god looks as primitive as it is imagined that Jews and African peoples are imagined to be.
