the US remade japan in their own image


Do you realize how racist that statement is?

nope..
race has nothing to do with the drive for cultural hegonomy

Sorry, but your bigotry is showing. You didn't state that there was a drive
for cultural hegemony. Instead you stated that US "remade japan in their own
image," which means that there is no separate Japanese identity that
remained. The only way that could occur (which it didn't, by the way) is
that the Asians do not have a strong culture and are easily malleable to be
molded as the US saw fit. That assumption is extremely insulting of Japan,
and Asian cultures in the whole, and shows your inherent racism against
Asian cultures.

yawn..
you are now arguing against your own straw men and figments..

my position is quite clear..there was a synthesis..
If you just want to troll around flaming folk thats your
perogative,,

just dont delude yourself it relates in any way to the discussion

I can understand your yawn. You don't seem to ignore anything that is not in
line with your deeply formed opinions.

I will gladly admit that you are much more bigoted than racist. Your hatred
of America takes on the forms of an obsession. Some say they aren't
anti-American, but simply anti-Bush and the acts of the current government,
but your tirades accuse much earlier governments and your tirades are so
outrageous that it shows a deep and bitter resentment against America as a
whole, rather than a present government.

I don't know the reasons for your deep hatred of America, but your messages
give some clues for possible reasons. For instance, in a recent reply to
Cindy you mentioned that in visiting the States you found it to be the most
racist nation, and in another message you admitted to knowing nothing of
Asian history except that which intersects with European history. That makes
me think that possibly you are one of the embittered fraction of continental
Europeans who bemoan the fact that, except for Britain, European culture has
been dwarfed by American and other cultures. It is possible that you are not
European, but that seems the more likely at this time.

Having said all that, I still see, within your blatant bigotry against
America, definite racist against Asians, based in large part on your
assumptions made about the Japanese.
