A century ago, Japan asked for a clause in the Treaty of Versailles that would have affirmed the equality of all nations, regardless of race or nationality. The U.S. struck it down.

“The new world order” as they say, classic USA it’s hard to believe imperial Japan would ever ask for that. peacetoendallpeace

tljnsnEverwhere VERSAILLES (1918): Ho Chi Minh led a delegation that petitioned for recognition of the Civil Rights of the Vietnamese People in French Indo china but they were ignored. The Vietnam War (1955 - 1975), 25,000 US Servicemen died.

Is there any racism in Asia today?

Wasn't Woodrow Wilson a Democrat? Look it up!

Love_Is_A_Place Haha of course it did

100 years ago? No culture has learned or grown in 100 years... Oh wait. It's just pushing the DNC propaganda about how 'racist the US is. Got it.

Japan & Italy were both snubbed at Versailles and contributed to them seeking international military power and WWII

Oh yes...because no one ever violates treaties. This sick, twisted tired old bullshit of NPR blaming America for the world's ills is getting very old. They are nothing but a publicly funded media office for the Democrat Party, and Americans know it.

npr, doing the democrat party's bidding every day. Contact your congressional reps and ask they stop all taxpayer funding of liberal npr.

The US Senate never ratified the treaty so...

With the white supremacist in office, the US would strike it down again now. And would respond by using words like “controversial” to refer to racial equality and by bringing a Nazi on air to explain why other people are less than human.

I mean we did have woodrow wilson, our most racist president, in office

Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy. FDR

What a pathetic sad moment. Shame on us.

Just 20 years later, the Japanese murdered millions in Asia. So much for 'a clause' in a treaty.

And you would be friend that people Jesus came to stop. A nation reborn from nothing with violence and murder. And their rationale was they're Nazis The war was over. This paranoid pimple is blood disease and the world will die in fear of each other our oceans awash with oil

Woodrow Wilson refused to allow it. He also refused to hear Ho Chi Minh who was forced to turn to the communists because he couldn’t trust America. He also didn’t allow minority enrollments when he was president of Princeton.

Who TF is this Propaganda for?

That was back way before Dems finally got woke in the 70s.

Well it would have been enforced by an impotent world body so doesn't really matter

NPR still mad they lost funding: the SALT is showing😂

Our history continues to disappoint.

The Japanese don’t even believe in equality. they look down on the Koreans and the Koreans look down on the Chinese. Another publicly funded adventure in history from NPR. America is the root of all conflict - not Tojo - and better worded documents can save the world from war.

This nation was founded by people who were ousted from their native countries in Europe due to religious, political or criminal reasons. It's ironic that the descendants of those founders should want to segregate and oust others themselves.

Jesus Christ. Japan already defeated the biggest white nation-Russia, got the same status as UK and US on the high sea, what on earth does it mean by “equal status”? Enslaving the Asian people the same way as westerners? The author of this article is a moron.

3./ dashingly handsome young men... only for them to be none of those things. The idea of a strong Japanese empire is what mattered, not immigrants. People leaving were expected either to return or to send their children for extended periods to Japan to get

I just read an entire book about this like a week ago. The US is now and has always been a classist rascist nation...

Nations aren't equal. That's just more lib nonsense.

Very misleading. Good job making America out to be evil again. 🤦‍♂️

1./ I'm rarely angry on issues like this, but... first of all, Japanese immigration was obviously caused by the heavy internal shakeup from isolated feudalism to capitalism overnight. This however does not mean that the Japanese who stayed looked at immigrants

Idiotic in premise, Japan ought to know.

it seems somewhat rich coming from Japan considering what they did to China, Korea, SE Asia in WWII.

Because, of course we did.
