Emphasis on "lightweight". My impression is that Americans in ww2 used up all their slurs and disrespect on the Japanese and acted towards Germans almost as if they ("we", I'm German) were civilised people, politely agreeing to disagree. Even American caricatures of Hitler himself seem strangely benign compared to those about ww1's Kaiser.
