Was it racist? Yes, but it was also that way the other way around.
Very true. I was watching a documentary the other day on the pacific war. The japanese it seemed had a "superman" ego as well the Nazi's (interest bedfellows), as they considered the white man inferior, and americans decadent.

Heres part 1 of that documentary:

I saw part 2 on the TV (not part 1), unfortunatly i can't find part 2 on the web, so part 1 is all you get. Part 2 really layed out how gruesome the pacific really was. Im kind of amazed it hasn't gotten more "silver screen" time then it has, but then again, theres nothing romantic about a brutal war, and the pacific was brutality in its purest form.
