Mildly racist? Uh, no. It is a historical fact that in the 1950s, \\\"made in Japan\\\" was synonymous with \\\"cheap and shoddy\\\" in much the same way that Korea was in the \\\'80s, Malaysia in the \\\'90s, and China today. This has nothing whatsoever to do with race, and everything to do with the way an emerging nation\\\'s manufacturing industry evolves, starting with the easy stuff (simple toys and other molded plastic goods) and working its way up to high-quality electronics. Remember that in 1955, Japan had only had ten years to rebuild its infrastructure after WorldWarTwo.

Labeling the 1885 cowboys as racist is reasonable. Applying the same label to Doc Brown is completely unjustified. Unless someone objects, I\\\'m going to delete it.
