[Tsuwabuki]

Notice I said some people do, and clearly stated I do not.

In my experience, there are more people who "hate dem Japs" in America then you appear to realise, especially working-class, less urban areas, and even more so in the south and among older individuals. For my maternal grandfather, it's more than just Pearl Harbor or the war. He was a union man, worked in a tool factory in the fifties and sixties to support his family. I don't agree with his view, but he also saw Japan's rise as a manufacturing powerhouse as deeply threatening, and Japanese products as cheap crap. I know plenty of middle-aged people who have been working the US Auto lines since they were younger than I am now and view the Japanese (and now Korean) vehicle companies as scary, scare competitors. I'm not in any way defending these viewpoints. I'm just saying they exist.
