[beepandbop]

what a fucking intense episode.

[katrandom]

For the first time... I completely agree with Pete Campbell.

its sad and stupid, that some (not all) americans still hold a grudge against some people that happen to them a long time ago. And they stereotype a group of people that they are all the same. My grand-father was a veteran, marine who fought against the japanese. at first yes, he hated them, then later on, he forgives them after they surrendered, after all he went to japan and met the people over there, he told me that they were very nice.

@lukepiotr it did, especially whey when they just fought against them in WWII, not just the Japanese, but there were some hostility towards Germans as well.

@DaniOcean i think roger didn't want to do business with the japanese because he fought in the war against them and many of his fellow soldiers were killed but i know he also doesn't want to do business with them because he knows if pete continues to succeed and bring in accounts, roger will be replaced by pete eventually.

Pete's a little bitch for running from Roger. Roger could kick his little annoying, privileged ass. Could that meeting have gone any worse? Omg, that was horrible!!! :|

[magua4]

what a string of sterling double entendres

[AndreasZimmerman]

I've never liked Pete more than this

[Ashmole3]

Man this show is brilliant. I can't wait for the new season.

@lukepiotr My ex-girlfriend's great uncle, who fought in the South Pacific in the some of the bloodiest battles of WWII and was highly decorated, hated the Japanese with an intense hatred all the way up to his death in 2000. So it's very plausible to think that there was quite a bit of lingering resentment among combat-vet businessmen working in the 50's and 60's forced to deal with them in a post war civilian setting. I'm sure it was the same for many Japanese.

[lukepiotr]

I wonder if these things actually happened in the 50s and 60s US business when they interacted with the Japanese?
