    Maybe between the 40s and the 60s the US was the best place to be comparatively, but that was mostly because we managed to burn and bomb literally everything else.

    The 50s and 60s was a peak time for middle class white men in the US.

      I’m not saying that the 40s-60s was the best time to live in the US, I’m saying that the other way around, in the 40s-60s the US was the best place to live in.

      So yeah, for example Asian women might have had real problems, even get put into internment camps in the US, but at least they weren’t mass raped like on the Eastern European or Asian fronts.

      So that’s a load bearing comparatively.
