This then becomes much easier when some of your buddies get killed which reinforces the hate.

A reason to hate? do you mean like bombing Pearl Harbour, massacring Civilians and PWs or did you have some other more PC reason in mind?
Seriously, do you honestly believe that the allies hated and went to war with the Japs because of a racist stereotype? |
Nope, but it's easier killing a 'Jap' or 'Kraut' than killing a human being. You have to make your enemy less human in order not to feel guilty. Well, that's just a theory of mine.
