I had a boss who was Filipino for 14 years. He had twin daughters who were Redskins cheerleaders for a year or two (I'm thinking mid-90's timeframe). Decent guy who treated me right. Only thing that ever riled him up was the Japanese. He hated the Japanese with an unholy passion. He was 5 or 6 when they invaded his country and he saw a lot of shit.

That's what they were back then!

That's a common reaction from people of that generation.I had a boss who was Filipino for 14 years.

A friend's father was in the Pacific, part of the Iwo Jima battle. He had a fair amount of cleaned-up-but-still-grody stories for us kids...but when we got to the age to be shopping for cars, NO WAY was he going to tolerate a Japanese car in his driveway. And this was in the late 1970s, when Japanese cars were all the rage.
My buddy bought a VW Beetle. His older brother bought a 1965 Ford Mustang, and later an MG Midget.
Imported cars were fine, just not Japanese brands.
