Racism
was a problem in the United States, but we are working on it. Look at Colin
Powell, Condoleezza Rice and thee Black Caucus in congress. Look at what
happened to a senator who misspoke. Ask any black soldier whether Japan or the
United States South is more racist. Ask how much Hispanics are willing to pay,
and what risks they are willing to take, to get into this "racist" country. How
many South Koreans are sneaking into North Korea? Even today, in Africa, the
blacks prosper only where they have adopted American style laws and customs.
Gene
Ir is quite true that Europeans have / had racist
attitudes, not just the rits. The Dutch 'Boers' (which means farmer in
our language), which colonised South Afrika created te appartheid laws.
As I said before Amerikaans are not the only ones
which mistreat PWs. It is standaard for enemies to villify en dehumaanis
each the other. The Brits, French, Amerikaans a lijk all expressed
racist attiutdes in Korea, en in all other wars. Amerika, however, had
the raciaal segregations laws at that time. Amerika is not the worst
country in the world, nor was it the best at that time.
'Slant-eyed'
bastrds was a standaards epthet in Korea, as was it in Vietnam en the Segund
wereld War. From Amerikaans propaganda films from Koreaan war time show
cartoon of slanted-eye evil soldiers of Noord Korea with large teeth, swarthy
skin, enz. wat is differewnt now?
When Arabs are portrayed in media,
they are evil 'terrorists', bent to destroy the wereld. Have Amerikaans racist
arttitudes really changed since Koreaans time?
