The old biases have not been wiped away. Some of the same old stereotypes can be found in films and tv today. I am encouraged, however, by the fact that even though both of my Grandfathers fought in the Pacific against Japan, they both love my Japanese wife. It gives me some comfort that within a few generations this animosity many have toward Americans -- and the animosity many Americans have toward others (Iranians, Arabs, etc.) -- can be wiped away.
Posted in: Back in the 1940s, every newspaper, every magazine, the movies, the radio, everything was geared that the Japanese were short, myopic, everyone wore glasses, they all had buck teeth, they were all interbred, they were rapists and they were just evil people. We had that drummed in our head. When I look at movies from the 1940s that I saw as a kid, they're absolutely ridiculous. You never saw such evil people.
