   It is a fact, sad though it may be, that people who never visited the United   
   States have only Hollywood films and TV series to learn about situations and   
   conditions there. Hollywood is now doing their utmost to portray the Blacks   
   as an ethnic group that is equal in every way to the Whites, but the   
   impression from past decades have been so in-grown into the heads (note I   
   didn't say "brains") of peoples in the Near and Far East that the Black   
   people are mere criminals. This symptom will take decades to erase. The same   
   can be said about impressions about the Far East of Westerners who never   
   visited China, Japan, or any of the other countries you care to mention -   
   negative. I still see comic books in the United States depicting the Chinese   
   as small, yellow sub-humans terrorising helpless White women: these are   
   invariably drawn and written by old war veterans with a deep hatred and   
   grudge for the Chinese people after having encountered them either during   
   the Korean or the Vietnam war, and they are too old to learn or accept that   
   things are not so.
