>but i'm pretty sure japan was accepted by the west in the 70's or 80's for making efficient cars and electronics
They really weren't. There was a lot of Sinophobia about Japan's rise during the late 20th century that lead to a lot of people believing that they would eventually "buy out" all of America. However much of it was not warranted and happened because a lot of America businesses just became too complacant with being #1, so the thought of someone else actualy overtaking them scared them shitless.

>and that summary is 'no matter how much a group improves your society otherwise, if they're annoying and disruptive to you specifically, you should kill them and eat them'
If that actually was the case, then why wasn't there random killing of American soldiers instead of Communists and their own people during the 60's, 70's, and 80's?

>which pretty much everyone in the USA silently accepts
No, they don't. A lot of people want manufacturing to return to the U.S., "low prices" be damned. Not to mention that more and more people are becoming aware of how those "low prices" are a manipulation in the first place and not happening in earnest.
