Racism

[ragnarok1945]

of course not, but you know how distrust works.

 

Besides, American hatred for the Asian people have been around LONG before the 2nd world war. When fighting in Europe, the American GI's perspective is that the German soldier (save maybe the SS) weren't to blame, their leaders manipulated their minds this way.

 

On the other hand, against the Japanese the perspective is the Japanese soldier are exactly the same as their sinister leaders.

 

As far as the American people were concerned, it doesn't matter how many generations you are in the US (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.). The fact remains your origins of early generations came from Japan, and therefore makes you every bit as evil as the Japanese are, even if you don't have any idea on how their culture works.

Freedom of Speech owns racism. So its always been ok.

I liked the episode where gremlins sabotaged Hitler more then this. It was hilarious.

Racism is bad - end of topic.

Yeah, it's up to us to choose when it's the right time to be and when it's not.

We watched this in US class. i found it amusing that the shows I watched as a kid had horrible racist streaks. Go look up Gremlins from the Kremlin, it's the same thing but with Russians. Russian Rhapsody is the one where gremlins sabotage Hitler and his "New Odor".

 

Edit: I apologize, it seems that Fallin' Hare is the episode with Bugs Bunny and the Gremlin.

[ragnarok1945]

ah yes, that's where one case where racism was acceptable because we were supposed to see the Soviet Regime under Stalin was almost just as evil as the Nazi Regime

Well, they Were communists after all.

 

 

On closer inspection, though, it seems that only the Gremlins in Russian Rhapsody are portrayed as Russian, where as the Gremlin in Flyin' Hare just pariodies the pilot's Gremlin craze.

please. If we continue to insist our POV it'd make us no better than the ones we accuse, we'd just end up being portrayed as a society that sees every other society as a disease to the world, and ours is the only cure.

That is how we see ourselves. No wonder the rest of the world hates us.

[ragnarok1945]

you can see it even today on the history channel documentaries for our selfishness, it was why I gave up the American version ones and switched over to the UK versions, because the American version ones never talk about (or for that matter even bother to see) anyone's POV but the US's.

Some people's POVs can never change. On the history channel documentaries for the war in the pacific, despite the war over for almost 65 years, some veterans still feel the Japanese are the cruel demons that all deserve to die

When you have to crawl through mud covered jungle in intense heat with tropical diseases you never thought you'd even hear of, being shot at the whole time, you tend to be a little hateful.

[Azmodius]

^ exactly my point.

[Mors Secundis]

i can't seem to open the link but judging by the other post it is quite bad so umm anyway in my GCSE transition paper i have to do a racism speach pursuading people to stop and make them love the world how baka is that-the love the world part.

That's true, but the majority of people after almost 65 years tend to change their POVs.

 

Many of them admitted back then they became almost just as cruel as the Japanese were, that they simply ceased to be human beings and became part of the war machine.

 

However, when the war ended they had to change back, and when they look back, their views changed.
