While Americans did have a racial animus against the Japanese at the time, it was not as strong as the Japanese racial animus against Americans.

That animus had nothing to do with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, however.

Invading the home islands by ourselves, without the assistance of the Soviets and the British like we had in Europe, would have been a much more costly necessity than D-Day.

We would have lost twice as many men in WWII as we did if we had gone conventional.
