I don't think WW2 was particularly racist compared to any other multi ethnic/cultural war in human history. Just better documented and fresh in the public's mind which is why it seems more, but war always has an ugly racial tinge to it. It's a very handy way of demonizing ones enemy without having examples of insult or transgressions to rally the people.
