[I would say none. I think it all traces back to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. The nature of the attack really shook people up. In a way, it’s like 9/11. Many people who had no opinion about Islam before 9/11 certainly had one after 9/11.

I would also add that my father never racist terms used when discussing the Japanese. He simply hated them. And he never said a single bad thing about China or the Chinese. So nope, it’s not a racist thing. It’s a Pearl Harbor thing.]


The Chinese did not successfully cripple a Navy fleet for months. Or evict the US from the Western Pacific for years. Would he have disowned you if you had married an Oriental?

I already told you this was not a racist thing as far as my father goes. Had Germany had the strength to launch a major sneak attack on New York City, I believe he would have held the same animosity.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but it seems like you want to drag racism back into it. So I think I’ll pass on continuing this conversation.
