CHYNA 
Feels like back in the 90's people were a bit more chill and didn't go into a genocidal lunatic rage at the mere mention of the country. Wild to think people used to get down with hong kong action movies.

The 80's and most of the 90's were the Japanese Yellow Scare
We thought their quality products and affordable cars would bury us alive
Most of the 90's
Didn't Japan's real estate bubble crash heavily during those times?
I mean, it seems that the U.S, in the 90s' generally, seemed to thrive, throughout the post-Cold War suffering that they've caused...
Edit: Look at CindyTheSkull's response for explanation...

The US reined in their vassals.
Welp, I forgot to mention that...
It crashed in 1991, but I think the yellow scare lasted into the mid 90s for some people. I remember my parents always acting like stuff made in Japan was inferior to American made products.
Hell I remember it in the late 90s and even early 2000s with the Pokemon satanic panic.
Southpark literally made an episode at the time [Racism, dick shaming]
spoiler
where Pokemon was a weird thing Japan was using to brainwash kids. I forget the details, but there is a scene where the Japanese CEO's of Pokemon or whatever talk about (voiced by a white dude doing a very racist Japanese accent) how "Japan have small penis"
South Park has poisoned an entire generation's brains.
Matt Parker and Trey Stone are such fucking shitheads. I hope they're miserable sitting on their pile of money
Good grief, why do I remember that the fake pokemon was called chinpokomon
I swear to God nobody thinks as much about the penises of other men as much as ostensibly straight white men.
