I was not aware the US tried to get rid of kanji after WWII. I studied 日米交流史 at university in Japan and never heard of this. I'm pretty sure this is not true.

This is bullcrap. Are you seriously suggesting that a writing system developed in Japan is not part of Japanese culture, and is, in fact, baloney?
Also, if you write あなた in kanji, people will know you are not a careful Japanese writer. There are exceptions, but in general, you will not write it in kanji. Especially not in an online forum.
There are times when using kanji instead of kana is uneducated. There is a native speaker here who has repeatedly said this.
