It all becomes crystal when you consider that it is easier to kill them than to castrate them and make them survive.

Japan still carries on the myth that the Japanese people are one people, one nation.
They still do not teach WW2. Just suddenly America dropped the bomb, no Pearl Harbor.
They may as well be a democratic N. Koreans considering their blind fervor.
In the late fifties my Uncle sponsored a Japanese student to America. He took my brother and I to little Tokyo when it was a ghetto. We ate sushi and Japanese food before it had arrived and went to Japanese movies.
The last time I saw him, some time ago, he explained to me that HIV / AIDS had not made it to Japan because of the superior physiology of the Japanese race.
That uncle's brother was at Pearl Harbor on the Nevada and later the Pacific War. He had a album of gory pictures he had acquired, some no doubt taken by Japanese, of treatment to American POW's including dismemberments and beheadings. Not one scene, repeated incidences. The album also included photos of the dead.
Still my uncle was not Anti-Japanese.
He was anti German and when my family got a VW circa 1962 he was unhappy about it.
He also held a grudge on the French firing on him landing friendlies in North Africa.
Just sharing. As I re-read I notice his grudges were not racial. Although he did not care for
"Cal--ered" is how I think he said it.
