Are YOU really calling someone ELSE a racist? You have GOT to be kiddding! You need to check a mirror, bucko!

Why anyone would assume that I have anything but pride in anyone - whether Navajo Code Talker or a member of the 442nd RCT - fighting on the American side during WWII is beyond me. Why the same individual who holds them up with pride also celebrates the actions of a kamakaze pilot slamming his aircraft into an American vessel is also beyond me.

But the "white" business tells me a lot.

I'm an American. My race does not come into play when I'm discussing these things. It doesn't come into play for me at all. But if we're going to talk about Japanese military culture in 1942, I'm ready to go.
