They have listened to the simplistic, horrifying messages that x, y, or z food will maim you, induce mold growth on your upper lip, liquefy your insides after a bout of burning inflammation, and ON and ON and ON and have frantically boiled down their diet to a few fanatical food options. Then they wonder why they are tired all the time, sick, depressed, obsessed with food, and aren’t getting any real pleasure from eating.

"I’ve always been interested in the American view of their participation in WWII; reading about it always gives me the impression that contemporary Americans viewed the war against Nazi Germany as a bit of unpleasantness they had to get out of the way before they settled accounts with the real enemy, Imperial Japan.

Hastings in Armageddon relates a few American soldiers on the attitudes to Germany versus Japan (at least until the death camps were discovered); “I never hated the Germans as I hated the Japanese”…“The Germans were just soldiers like us”

Japanese-Americans were infamously interned and propaganda against Japan was blatantly racist. This attitude reared its ugly head in the aftermath of the recent tsunami, where many jackasses proclaimed that it was ‘karma’ for Pearl Harbor.

How prevalent in modern America is this type of racism/xenophobia against Japan?"

The OP from a current thread.
