Listen, don't worry about some of these posters and their limited exposure to many average Japanese 60 years later in the 21st century. I can appreciate anger and unforgiveness toward countless Imperial Dai Nippon Teikoku Rikugun Japanese officers or soldiers in the previous century and have no illusions about many many atrocities committed in East Asia under the Emperor under the old State Shinto-expansionist-fascist system that we mightily crushed and replaced with a MacArthur Peace Constitution and modern democracy. We indeed fought evil and GOOD prevailed....

What really makes the thread instructive is that FR would never allow a thread to go along this long with nine (count 'em, nine) 'niggers' (sic) and one 'kike' (sic) mentioned (the Moderator would be plenty busy deleting posts or the thread). But on FR, we have the double standard around here where you can say 'little yellow bastards' (sic) [in previous threads left to stand as-is on FR] or 'japs' (sic) or 'nips' (sic) --even referring to modern day Japanese who had nothing to do with those days-but could never get away with 'little black bastards' (sic) or the 'n' word. It's of course selective application of the rules against racist posts here on FR. Japanese (and other Asians) are fair game, while hispanics and black Americans are 'off limits'. Or at least it seems that way.

(Epithets above for effect only).

Here is an example about FR's double standard, from a previous poster on this thread. We see this all the time.

"Last year wife and I went to Oahu on vacation. In the evening we'd stroll Waikiki Blvd. and encounter a number of japs. The men made no effort to make way on the sidewalk and I finally had enough of my wife being bumped. It was a lot of fun throwing the shoulder into them to clear the way for my wife. They are still arrogant. Had they won WWII, I'm sure our country wouldn't have been rebuilt. Screw them!"

Now how long would FR Moderators allow THIS:

"Last year wife and I went to Los Angeles on vacation. In the evening we'd stroll Hollywood Blvd. and encounter a number of niggers. The men made no effort to make way on the sidewalk and I finally had enough of my wife being bumped. It was a lot of fun throwing the shoulder into them to clear the way for my wife. They are still arrogant. Had they remained slaves, I'm sure our country would have have been rebuilt. Screw them!"
