It's pretty interesting. I doubt any companies like Disney or Pixar would be able to make videos such as these if another World War were to ever take place...

IKR. This video goes to show how acceptable it was to be racist back then. Look up Popeye's "You're a Sap, Mr. Jap"

In some ways you can't blame them though. Everybody is subjected to dehumanization during wartime. Even nowadays, plenty of Americans have adopted negative feelings toward Middle Easterners due to the September 11th attacks and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. And we were pretty much the aggressors in these situations, as opposed to being attacked initially by a nation (such as Japan).

Exactly. Wise words. Americans can be melded and manipulated very easily by shocking events.

Clowns. You're trying so hard to be intelligent and evolved yet you guys obviously can't follow a simple cartoon.

Well, given we were attack by a terrorist organization, not any specific nation, I'd say it's pretty aggressive to invade a country which was harboring nobody involved in the planning of 9/11, only to spend a trillion dollars to topple one dictator and kill over sixty thousand civilians.

MD, He's got a serious point.
