Yes, it sounds like a twisted little story created to give this Milton guy some shine. I don't doubt that what he's saying is true. It's just the way that he says it that doesn't really appeal to me. Additionally, the US was still a pretty prejudice place at that time. Uncle Sam didn't have to personally start shit...his members would do it for him. You best believe foreigners didn't learn the N word from military papers and even after military forces were gone, 1960s/70s tv shows poured into those countries displaying black me as pimps, drug addicts and, of course, thieves.
...The same way affirmative action had businesses meeting quotas by hiring black women to meet numbers for both women and minorities. That 2 for 1 deal eventually meant that black men were out of a job and now were no longer respected or needed in a home where they weren't breadwinners. The long term effect?...thousands and thousands of single parented children with no authority figure, freedom to fuck off while mom was at work, under aged pregnancy because they can skip school, get high and fuck all day. Worse yet, the mold was created, there's no going back and the cycle is repeating over and over and over.
I can go on and on, but what's the point? Best believe that asian women are learning that not all black dudes are dirtballs. Just like they are learning that not all white and asian men are honorable.
