I just remembered now... one of the reasons why American soldiers called their enemies names is to make them appear less human and easier to kill because it's hard to get past the emotion of killing people.

Chinks, gooks, krauts and Japs ring any bell? I'm sure the vets today went past that.
I don't think all Trump supporters are racist but I have no doubt that some are. And he doesn't seem to do much to discourage that impression.

I am merely adding more to the list. Everyone is not immune to racism.
But why did they hate them? Did they hate the Germans because they were Germanic decent or Japanese because they were Asian?
