They are fanatical in their adherence to the ShintoKodoBushido code. Another group is described as the Nisel. These are the sons of Japanese immigrants. themselves nativeborn. These have. for the most part. attended American public schools but also the 240 Japaneselanguage schools which have been established in California. The third class is called the Kebei. These are the second generation. the sons of the nativeborn sons of immigrants. It is this third class which. in many respects. may be regarded as the most dangerous to the welfare of the Pacific coast and of the entire country. It has been the usual experience in America that first and. certainly second generation sons of immigrants become thoroughly Americanized and. ofttimes almost fanatically patriotic. The Japanese present a curious. abnormal reversal of this experience. Most Japanese are industrious and thrifty.
Identified stereotypes
Japanese immigrants and their descendants are fanatically loyal to Japan and pose a danger to the US, contrary to the typical Americanization of immigrant families.
