If the Nazis are considered to be "prejudicial", why didnt they have prejudice against the Japanese?

Answer 1

The Germans had a problem when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and joined the war against the US. Obviously, a short, black-haired yellow Japanese looks nothing like a tall, blond, blue-eyed Aryan. Fortunately, there is a very old Japanese legend that says that the Japanese islands were settled a long time ago by tall, blond strangers from the stars. Using this legend as a reference the German Propaganda Ministry was able to produce a document which claimed that the Japanese were really descended from an Aryan race, and thus admitted the Japanese into the Axis Powers as "Honorary Aryans".

You may be able to find more information on this if you do a search for 'honorary Aryans'.

Part of the story: An ancient Japanese legend has it that the Japanese people are descended from a blonde haired blue eyed race that came from the stars, a legend remarkably similar to the doctrines that percolated in the secret societies that fostered and mid-wifed the Nazi Party into existence in Germany between the World Wars. Nor did this legend play a small part in the history of World War Two, for it was partly because of its mere existence that Hitler could proclaim the Japanese "honorary Aryans" and conclude the incorporation of Japan into the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis without contradicting Nazi Party racial ideology.

Answer 2

The Nazi's also allied themselves with the arab nations during WWII. Because the Nazi's used the claim that the Jews were the reason for the economic troubles of Germany. This thinking gave rise to resentment towards Jews, Jewish buisness and banks were outlawed under the Nazi regime. The Aarabs and muslims liked this thinking and sided with the Nazi's in the persecution of Jews, and they continue with this belief even today.

Answer 3

Prejudice doesn't necessarily have to be universal. One can hold prejudice against one group and be fine with another. I haven't done much research into it, but as I understand it, the most persecuted people were the Jews, communists, Slavs, homosexuals, and the dissidents. Interestingly enough, though blacks were viewed as subhuman, it was rare to send them to concentration camps. While a few were sterilized, most escaped violent persecution.

Answer 4

1. there were no japanese people in germany

2. It was political, they were on the side against the allies, (The axis of evil, Germany, Italy, and Japan) and they knew once the allies were finished they would be a world power

and

3. They considered japan a "civilized" nation that would be able to contribute to society. (they believed all 3rd worlders were mentally inferior and needed to be exterminated)

Answer 5

The reality is they were natural political allies. But they did cook up a kooky theory that the Japanese were actually part of the Aryan race.

Answer 6

o i'm pretty sure they did but there was practically no Japanese in Germany so they did not care about their allies on the other side of the world. They did not have much contact like the big three so they kept their thoughts to themselves.

Answer 7

as quickly as I lived in Japan, i stumbled on them to be open to all of us. as with all u . s ., they are greater tender with eastern subculture, yet they are keen to attempt something. i'm unable to think of of any group of human beings they at the instant are not honest with. you could bear in mind, there is is the main purely one subculture u . s . interior the international. there has been somewhat little inter-marriage there, however that's increasing. What in some situations an extremely race unsleeping place like the US might think of of as 'prejudice' could properly be a cultural conflict, in Japan is in basic terms the guidance curve. i stumbled on it to be the freest feeling u . s . i've got ever been in, which contains the US, the place political correctness and social meanness makes residing greater solid.
