Great post. I still suspect there was more than a hint of racism in the
assumptions that were made about the warmaking abilities of the Japanese.

Right. When people make cracks like "no one imagined an attack on
Pearl," they really mean "no one imagined a bunch of slanty-eyed,
stunted, jabbering, monkey-like gooks would have the technical and
military expertise necessary to attack a modern industrial nation run by
a bunch of white folks."

Kinda like 9/11 in fact ? ( substitute camel-jockeys for slanty-eyes )
