 Racism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While 19th century racism is related to nationalism (some authors have opposed a "close nationalism", based on racism, etc., towards an "open nationalism", based on the universalist conception of the nation, etc.), medieval racism precisely divides the nation into various non-biological "races", which are the consequences of historical conquests and social conflicts.
Racism may be expressed individually and consciously, through explicit thoughts, feelings, or acts, or socially and unconsciously, through institutions that promote inequalities among "races", as in institutional racism.
Racism infers an assumption of racial superiority and a harmful intent, whereas separatists sometimes prefer the term racialism, indicating a strong interest in matters of race without a necessary inference of superiority or a desire to be harmful to others.

 Racism in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Racism spiked during the 1979 Tehran embassy hostage crisis, the 1991 Gulf War and the Oklahoma City bombing (despite the lack of an Arab connection).
Some racism may be towards other minority groups, such as conflicts between fls and Koreans (notably in the 1992 Los Angeles Riots) or between fls and Jews (such as the riots in Crown Heights in 1991[3]) in various urban environments, new immigrant groups (such as Latinos[4]) or even towards whites[5][6].
Institutional racism is the theory that aspects of the structure, pervasive attitudes, and established institutions of society disadvantage racial minorities, although not by an overtly discriminatory mechanism.

 American Racism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Excluded from most of the higher paying professions, those Japanese that did not go into farming often opened up their own small businesses, such as restaurants, laundromats and so forth, or went into commercial fishing, all of which they were highly successful at.
Objects such as dynamite, which Japanese farmers used to blow up stumps, and short-wave radios, which were more economical than phones on their vastly separated farms, were often used as incontrovertible evidence of sabotage against Japanese farmers (Daniels 43), which only served to further frighten the public.
When Japanese across America responded to accusations of treachery with unconditional oaths of loyalty, people said that this was just another example of the Japanese being their treacherous and underhanded selves, a “fact” which had been ingrained into American society for decades.

Japanese lived in daily fear because they did not know when they would be released or what was expected of them in the camps.
Hirabayashi argued that the orders were an unconstitutional delegation of power and that to them only against citizens of Japanese ancestry amounted to a constitutionally prohibited discrimination solely on account of race.
Most Japanese lost their homes, ancestral heirlooms, clothing and furniture, land, and businesses before entering the camp, so their long-term physical, emotional, economic, and social stability was uncertain.

Japanese society is built on the idea of loyalty to the group, and so managers must focus inward on their fellow Japanese, even while living abroad.
At every line, the lines basically competed against each other for quality, for zero defect, so there was a tremendous pride instilled in the factory environment, that they're part of a whole mechanism, part of the wheel.
When large Japanese companies move abroad, studies have found they will typically use suppliers they know from their home country, even when it is more expensive to do so.

Racism lies in the very fabric of Japanese society; it is still at its primitive, visceral and atavistic stage.

They point out that in the summer of 1945 the Japanese were seeking a compromised peace to end the war through their envoy to Russia.
What the Japanese military rulers really wanted was a deal that would allow their brutal military regime that started the war to stay in power, something the U.S. and the Allies would never have accepted.
Given that the Japanese were already responsible for 17 million deaths, it is not hard to conclude that using atomic weapons to end the war was justified.

Lastly, the viciousness with which people are accused of racism and shunned accordingly is so a) calculating, b) enjoyed and c) pursued incessantly by its progenitors that it possesses all the hallmarks of the fl and white thinking of so-called racists.
Racism is apparent in everything in Japan, from the belief that they are the only people in the world to use chopsticks to the instant forgiveness and celebrity status people of Japanese blood receive when returning to the homeland after their crimes overseas, such as Alberto Fujimori and Issei Sagawa, no matter how heinous
That a belief in Japanese superiority persists is shown by the case of Shinichi Fujimura, a con artist who was easily able to convince not just the Japanese public, but also educated archaeologists that he had found proof that Japanese were living a civilised life 500,000 years before Neandertals even arrived in Europe.

 Friends of Minidoka - WWII Internment -
Following Imperial Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, a combination of wartime fear, hysteria, and longstanding racism against Japanese Americans put pressure on politicians to enact restrictive legislation.
Justified in the name of military necessity, all West Coast residents of Japanese ancestry, also referred to as Nikkei, were forced to leave their homes, neighborhoods, businesses, farms, and schools and report to internment camps in the single largest forced relocation in U.S. history.
By the time the last internees were released and the camps de-commissioned in 1946, the Japanese Americans had lost homes and businesses estimated to be worth, in 1999 values, 4 to 5 billion dollars.

 The Peking Duck: Chinese rage against Japan in Chengdu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Chinese websites have by their own count collected 22m signatures against Japan's UN ambitions in a campaign that has so far been sanctioned by a government sensitive to any form of political protest outside of its control.
However, the fast growing of already formidable Japanese military force, its intervention in Taiwan strait, its occupation of Diaoyu island and its increasing efforts of restraining the development of China in resources and energy all contribute to the tolerance (to some extent) of these anti-Japan activities.
It's not racism like Nazi racism, where it was simply a given that Jews were worthy of death.

 9/8 Protest At UCB Against Michelle Malkin and Racial Profiling : Indybay
Unfortunately for Malkin, the senior-most officials in charge of US national security are increasingly acknowledging that the approaches she advocates, which boil down to little more than the crudest stereotyping, are completely ineffective.
Malkin says she was drawn to the subject because critics of post-Sept. 11 profiling persistently cited the Japanese internment as an example of the logical conclusion of security measures based on ethnic stereotyping.
Her book presents no new information regarding the World War II internments and relies heavily on a set of decrypted cables, which indicate that the Japanese government intended to establish a spy network in the US in the buildup to the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

He made such a concerted effort to root out corruption and "machine politics" that, it is said, Republican leaders in New York advanced him as a running mate for William McKinley in the 1900 election simply to get rid of him (at the time becoming Vice President generally marked the end of a political career).
McKinley and Roosevelt won the presidential election of 1900, against William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson Sr.
He believed that the U.S could eventually be pulled into war in the Pacific Ocean with the Japanese and urged readiness.
