Question

please explain the meaning of this line. this line is from the story My greatest Olympic prize by Jesse Owens.

A little hot under the collar about Hitler's ways, I determined to go out there and really show Der Fuhrer and his master race who was superior and who wasn't.​

Answer 1

Answer:

hot under the collar means to be angry or extremely agitated about something and someone.

Hitler promoted the Aryan race and considered it superior and looked down on other races.

the Olympics games that was organized in Germany was to prove his theory of Aryan supremacy. Jesse Owens was a black American athlete so this view was obviously annoying to him. and he wished to prove the furer wrong by not only participating in the race but winning it too
