 There is not one part of that which is true.  Countless counter-examples exist, but my favorite is the fact that Japanese Americans had pretty much everything they owned stolen from them by the Empire during WW2, a deprivation in scope that no black person in America had been subjected to since the end of the Civil War.  And yet, no one, for instance, fears mobs of Japanese yoots burning and looting a city.

I'm not asking you to "hate" anyone, just be realistic about group differences.  If you think that means "hate" then that's on you.

Brain triggered memory about a Jap family heading to internment, selling their stuff in yard sale, and when some guy gave a shit offer for antique chinaware the wife just grabbed it all and smashed it then and there.
Somehow not a lot of Nip youth ressentiment broiling over into crime despite such stories, wonder why :Thonkeng:
