Yes, Don, it is well known that many of the Asian peoples saw - and some
continue to see - themselves as racially superior to virtually everyone
else. Just as white Americans long saw - and some still see - themselves as
superior to those of other races, be they American Indian, black, Chinese,
Japanese, etc., just as those Americans of Northern European descent for
some inexplicable reason saw themselves as vastly superior to those of
Southern European and Jewish descent. What's your point?

The quickest way to stop this "racist nonsense" you find so offensive would
be for certain racists to stop referring to the Japanese as "Japs." Odd that
those who are quickest to refer to the Japanese as "Japs," don't seem refer
to the Germans as "Krauts."

Isn't it interesting how often the one losing the argument resorts to the
"race card" to divert attention from the truth.  However, so long as the
majority puts up with this nonsense, the whiners will play the "race card"
whenever it suits their purpose.

As I recall, the Japs were the supreme racists of the entire world as they
racist nonsense from the board and get back to the facts.
thought they were the chosen people and everyone else was inferior.  It was
not until Harry Truman and the A-bomb stopped Tojo and the Japanese war
machine that any other race was given any consideration by the Japanese.

Marc is not a racist at all, he is just talking about inanimate objects and
"telling it like it is" in his opinion.  Let's see if we can remove this
