Racism has been ingrained in American TV for decades - the show McHales Navy referred to the Japanese as "Nips" constantly, Archie Bunkers "gooks", Family Guy, and now obviously Trump.
McHale's Navy took place during WWII in the Pacific Theater of Operations where calling the enemy "Nips" was a matter of routine. That isn't the TV show being racist. It is the TV show factually portraying how soldiers and sailors regarded their opponent at the time.
Curious that you should point out All In the Family and Archie Bunker as an example of TV promoting racism. Did you ever actually watch that show?
The American wars of the Middle East are inherently racist and that cannot be denied.[/QUOTE]
