I guess I can empathize somewhat when my Japanese-American friend made some negative insinuations about Harley Davidson in how it used the name "fat boy" for one of its motorcycles. This name was a diffusion and "refusion" of the names of the 2 bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Anyways, when I told him Honda held Harley for a few years i.e. trained them in efficient production processes, my friend sardonically wished that Honda would've let Harley sink to the ground.
