They get an easier pass because their products are top-notch. Toyota basically invented Six Sigma/a globally used process for manufacturer defect elimination. A Japanese automaker invented QR codes. They have Nintendo, anime, etc. They changed and continue to impact the world in highly recognizable ways, not by merely cheap products (China), cheap labor (India), etc.

Tldr if your good enough at engineering you can be as racist as you want to be unless you're white.

I guess I should've said that I wasn't dismissing it, but was trying to find possible explanations. My understanding is that their xenophobia is more from a sense of caution rather than a view like, "Inferior being!"

Not true but I love the apologist point of view you took. Japanese have always been clear they were the best up until white people showed up with advanced technology and showed them first hand they weren't. Shits racist as fuck and you can suck their little jap phallice all you want but just admit it's some racist shit in the same way you can understand that what I just said was racist. In short please stop being dumb.

They get an easier pass because the US needed a vassal state in the Pacific.
