I recently watched the movie "Sobibor." It's based on a true story from a n@zi death camp.

Before you start making racial jokes, I have a scenario for all of you to think about, derived from this movie:

**
You are a prisoner. You and 9 other people try to escape. The punishment for trying to escape is immediate death by gun. You and the 9 others are lined up in a row in front of the rest of the prison. Here's the catch, provided by your sick twisted warden:

You must choose from the crowd, a "partner in death." You will walk out, grab someone's hand, and they will be killed with you. If any of the 10 original targets do not comply with selecting their partner, the warden will personally select 50 people from the crowd to die with them instead of the 10 that were supposed to with the first option.

**

It's not math. It's "more people die, indirectly your fault; less people die, more directly your fault."

I chose more people die because they're not the superior white race.

Then for your case, let's assume they are all members of your favorite race. Do you want to walk out into the crowd and personally choose one person to die with you (even thought they obviously don't want to die right now), or refuse to choose and have the warden kill more people that you did not pick personally, making you less responsible for their specific deaths?

So if you pick one, only you and the chosen person die?

If I don't pick, someone else from the group of ten is probably going to pick. And so it's not my fault, I don't die, and less people are dead.

I choose the option where I'm not in this situation in the first place.

We would all hold hands and form a circle and then sing Jewish songs while getting shot.

Tackle the warden, take his gun and run like a starving person using the other dude as a human shield.

"If I don't pick, someone else from the group of ten is probably going to pick. And so it's not my fault, I don't die, and less people are dead."

If just one person refuses to choose a partner, a much larger number of people will die along with you. Both ways, you die. Everyone has to choose a partner or else 50 extras will be killed, but they will be chosen by the warden instead of the ten.

@Everyone saying they will tackle the warden,

You will die because you are unarmed and the warden has a gun, not to mention the group of like 20 officers with guns next to him (the ones performing the execution). If someone attacks the warden, 200 people will die by his selection.

What? You're the creator of humans and that's your reason for life?

No, no one knows if life is a test.

I didn't say some creator was testing you. Life is a test because you're living it in the eyes of others.

Now, back to the scenario...

Would you choose a partner in death, looking them in the eye selecting them and only them out of everyone else, or refuse to select and die knowing that 50 random people will die that did not die specifically and directly from your choice?

I would have chosen the warden, too. But then he'd probably get all mad and kill 50 people anyway.
